Oh the Shovel Game!!! This is my shovel…it was given to me on the very first day of training with a name.  It is a game that all of the RA’s at Residence are playing. The name that we got was the name of the person who we were trying to catch without their shovel.  If we caught our person without their shovel then we had to say “Shovel’s Off” to that person and they were now out of the game, and we then got their person to chase after.  You have to have your shovel at all times….the game has been going now for almost 3 weeks and I have gotten out 4 people…I am now in the final 4.!!!! It is amazing…because I made an alliance with two other people and it is almost at the point where it is just the three of us left!! We said we would make it to the bitter end and we almost have!!! WOOT WOOT…GO TEAM!!!!

Finally...a moment to do a post.  I have been back in Edmonton now since the 19th of August and it has been a heck of a ride so far.  As soon as I walked off the plane I came straight to Residence for the premier of training. That led two weeks of intense and fun training. We started at 8am everyday and then were done at 10pm every night.  We had every single meal together and spent all our time together so now we're nice and close.  We had socials in the evening that consisted of a movie, swimming, laser tag and much much more. It was really awesome.  Now that training is over we had move in day on saturday and oh my goodness was it ever busy.  We had 700 students move in, in a matter of 8 hours...very hectic.  My floor loved the fact that our theme is popsicles vs. palm trees and they loved the popsicles that I left in their freezers, so I was very happy.  For the first week of classes and such..everyone is on duty until 4am or 2am at night...I have only gotten about 8 hours of sleep in the last 3 days...mmmm, coffee!!!! But everything is good and first day of classes went okay...so all is good here in my world. Leave me a comment and let me know how you are doing!!!
