I've had more and more mini-revelations since I've been here... just things that are either new to me, or things that confirm things I have previously wondered about, concerning myself.
Anyway, over the past 2 days I've worked 10 hour days... 5 hours in the morning downtown at
Quiksilver, and then 5 hours in the evening at the hotel. The past 2 evenings, I hostessed at the Fairmont Pub called the Waldhaus Pub, which is maybe a quarter of the size of the Bow Valley Grill, the restaurant I usually work in (the Waldhaus is located apart from the hotel, behind it, right before the golfcourse, right on the river). The Waldhaus just recently opened, for it IS a seasonal pub. Their hostess hasn't started working yet, so they needed some help. I took to it quickly, and it was a nice change of scenery. Wonderful little Bavarian styled, old looking pub house, with quite the view, and lots of elk just wandering around the hills/golf course surrounding it.
I'm really enjoying my new roommate, she's a super nice and bubbly girl who is really excited about everything haha. I really have realized, that as social as I am, and as much as I love people and love working with them, there isn't a lot of girls who are a lot like me. Just in terms of likes and dislikes even... add morals and beliefs in there too. I think I like that though, I'm glad to be one of a kind. Hopefully someone special thinks that about me already and thinks I'm worth holding on to... sigh.
Anyway, a LOT of new staff are arriving, because a lot of university students (a heck of a lot of them are coming from the UofG, surprise surprise) are obviously done for the summer, and will be on 4 month contracts out here. That being said, it's a major reason why more so in the summer, Banff is a KNOWN "party town". Yet another reason I've found, why I'm not sure I will fit in here 100% this summer... I'm not a university party girl. Lots of people already have had completely surprised looks on their faces when I tell them I go out and 'party' only once or twice a month... As if that is even POSSIBLE??!?! Of course I love to have a good time, however, while I'm out here, if im going to spend my money on something, I want it to be on exploring this place as much as possible, and enjoying my surroundings. If i want to have drinks and dance, I can do that anywhere in the world. I have yet to find many people who ACTUALLY share that mentality with me... ah well.
I'm sure I could go on... maybe I am just a little bitter this evening...
Till next time...
Love alison
