Update

Okay...since this is my first blog, I guess it will be a little more detailed that what it normally would be. Q...I won't be blogging everyday...unless I have something interesting to say. But since our lives are so busy, I figured this would be a good way to keep updated on each other's lives.

So, I spend last weekend in Toronto for the Canadian Aboriginal Festival. Which I've been dying to go to for the past few years. I was amazing. I didn't want it to end. I was excited to home home to my own bed, but I didn't want the music, dancing and the feeling to ever go away. It made my officially decide to spend the winter working on my own regalia for dancing. I may not be brave enough to do the powwow trail and dance at every powwow, but at least I'll know that I made something so special to my culture myself.

I also have been spending a lot of time work. Maybe too much. I really wanted to get to Fredericton to visit everyone this fall, but I just didn't have the time. I'm not complaining...I thought I was going to be unemployed as of the end of September. But it's been just the opposite. Since the award show ended, I kept working at Ulnooweg getting all their stuff together for the launch of their new look, got hired on as an assistant for a project with Aboriginal musicians. And spend the past few days working as a Production Assistant for a video that is being produced. Oh....and I helped add some french subtitles to AIDS awareness commercials which may be going network soon. CRAZINESS! But I'm loving it.

It also looks like I'll have a real career starting in January. Short version of a long story...it's not 100% yet, but I've been told that I am in line for the position of Aboriginal Interpretive Coordinator. Basically I'll be running a Mi'kmaq museum out of Truro's new tourist bureau. Insane part is, I'll be a boss and have to help create training for my employees aka "interpreters".

I tried to work my contracts so I'd have some time off in December to do some art work, relax and try to get some sense of normalcy in my life. But it looks like I might have another contract coming up and apparenlty someone else is trying to get ahold of me to do some work for him. I'm glad I have something to spend my days doing...really....cause Truro does get mighty boring!

Ok...that's it for now. I guess that's update enough. Have a good one :)
