So...I'm sitting here trying to figure out what to write and its come to this: So far this week I've been really busy with school and haven't had time to prepare a really neat fact sheet on my country which I definitely want to do. Tomorrow I visit the Working Centre for the first time and have to say I am actually quite excited! Check out the website and you'll see why: http://www.theworkingcentre.org/ct/ct_main.html. I'm hoping I can get a volunteering position in the kitchen or at the Queen Street Commons cafe. Those are my top choices. Others include the handmade paper station and quilting - I have no idea how to quilt but wouldn't it be cool to learn? How awesome would it be to learn how to quilt and then when I come back make a quilt about my time in Esteli...maybe include some pictures and different fabrics I feel represent the country.

I also wanted to say that I'm kind of stressing about fundraising. I've raised $700.00 so far which isn't bad BUT it is mid-January and compared to some other Beyond Bordians I'm lagging behind. I've already writtent to the fam-jam aspect and many thanks to them for donating what they did. I also wrote in to Rogers head office where I worked over the summer...still unsure yet of the result. My former boss told me Rogers only officially supports the United Way so I don't know if they'll be able to donate anything, even though I know they would want to help out. I'm giving a presentation next week to my former Grade School (Star Academy - check it out: http://www.staracademy.ca/) The Senior class (gr.7-8) is possibly going to help me fundraise here's a thanks in advance if you do! Anywhoooo...all I'm saying is that if anyone has suggestions as to what I should do that would be great.

I also booked my appointment for my immunizations (March. 4 - the day o' death). Scary thought that in one appointment I'll be getting like 5 shots or something. Scary. But I will be accompanied by my good friend Jess DB so we will be suffering together (hahaha). It's not for a while anyways so I have lots of time to think about it *sarcastic sigh*

Just wanted to let you all know where I'm at and I will start work on my Nica. fact sheet for future posts...I love weird little facts. Details to come about the working centre.
Later days
:)
