Weird. Blogger made me sign up for a google account. I was having trouble signing in. I was almost in panic mode because I had it on "old blogger". As if that's some kind of outdated thing. Hmm. My hands feel dry.



HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY NATHAN. Whooo.

Why do you think Mommy or Daddy always tells you don't put that in your mouth? Let's find out!

Don't put it in your mouth (Don't put it in your mouth)
Don't stuff it in your face (Don't stuff it in your face)
Though it might look good to eat (Though it might look good to eat)
And it might look good to taste (And it might look good to taste)

You could get sick (ick)
Real quick (ick)
Real sick real ... ick!

Don't you put it in your mouth (uh uh)
Till you ask someone you love (that's right)
If it's okay to eat (if it's okay to eat)
Like a muffin or a beet (like a muffin or a beet)

If you don't know just what it is,
Remember boys and girls,
Don't put it in your mouthhhhhhhhhhhh

ICK

Always ask someone you know before you put it in your mouth.

Ah, true love.




























(Only in Outdoor School...)

Eh?

Mmhmm. Eat it.































Don't forget the boots, too.












(There, Nathan. I updated. Happy? I thought so.)

Tadaa!

Well I'm back from Val Marie, Saskatchewan. I took a lot of pictures. Here are some of them..



This is me wearing a respirator... -->

Below is a sunrise before going to work..

This is right before Prairie Dog mapping...

And this is a lot of cacti.....

I have more pictures, but if you want to see them, you have to come to my house.

Very lovely. Very lovely indeed.

Outdoor School has been SO awesome. I'm currently in Val Marie, Saskatchewan (not even an hour away from the U.S./Canada border). Reason? I'm working with a partnership program with Grasslands National Park and Prairie Learning Center. So I've been working at least 8 hours a day doing fairly weird jobs...I've been doing seed cleaning, Prarie Dog mapping, workshopping (if that's a word, but we're designing our own workshop), and being boreding. The population of Val Marie is about 130 and they watch a movie on Fridays and Saturdays for fun (one movie, two showings.) It's funny cause I don't even watch movies...Oh well. It's busy during the day, but during the evening, Kj (my partner who is here) and I basically listen to music, have baths, play keyboard...and sleep. Cooking too, but it usually doesn't take that long.

It's always windy here...Yesterday, I was in the Grasslands National Park (GNP) and this buck deer started walking towards me from a distance. It came closer and closer and my supervisor radioed me and was like "Jenna..watch that deer.." It was kinda creepy, but not long after she radioed me, it bounced off. Deer a fun to watch, they just kinda bounce a lot...anyway..

Random mental note: You know those old western movies with barren land and nothing but tumble-weed and abandoned buildings? That's what it's like here. Yes, there is tumbleweed (and it gets caught in bike tires, so I hear), many of the buildings here are closed down, the roads aren't even paved, there's almost no one around, it's always windy so things are always creaking or slamming or something, and since it's almost winter, it's been getting dark a lot quicker. On the bright side, there's no snow yet but it still gets pretty chilly. Anyway, life has been very, very interesting here...I hope to hear from whoever reads this.

I've been very busy. I think Nathan is more at my house than I am. He's right behind me in the process. He's happy because this hasn't happened before. "You're like my best friend." Wait, he went to go answer the phone.

Quote of the day:
"Well. One thing about losing my glasses, looking at you guys is more tolerable!"
-Nathan Wolfe

He laughed. He thinks he's funny. El gaspo. "Haha, what? What's el gaspo? Okay, stop doing that. Quit quoting me! That's it, I'm going to jump out the window! Problem is, we're in the basement. Wow, you're a fast typer, will you stop that?! *munch munch*"

I'm out. Fare thee well.
