update...ish

ok so its saturday night here in calgary. aaaaand im bored. hmm.
so an update
i got a job at nexen, doing mostly stuff for the finance department like excel macros and accounting type things. ive worked one week full time and im working with a bunch of people that i worked with before i left. (before i left for aus, i worked at nexen) so that has been great. im thinking my fall will be pretty busy though. working part time 3 afternoons a week, 5 days of classes (5 core classes), soccer one night a week, and youth on fridays and sundays, plus time for friends etc in between, its going to be a little busy. oh well, ill manage, with God's help of course.
as the aussies say, "no worries mate".
i was organizing stuff in my room that i left when i went to australia, and found like $100 in change....wow, awesomeness. that doesnt change the fact that im going to have to borrow money from my parents to pay for school though, unfortunatly.

as far as pictures go, my flickr account has reached its max, so if you want to see more pics, i have more on facebook!( and on my computer of course).

ive been listening to more random music lately, which has been good. right now i am listening to MXPX, always good. my top 3 artists on last.fm in the last week are Sanctus real, switchfoot and mxpx. for more check out my charts on the right side and click on one to to go my profile page on last.fm (and get last.fm if you dont have it).

hmm i think thats all for now. im super pumped for the labour day game on monday, get to see some friends tomorrow at church that i havent seen in a long time and have the first youth sponsor meeting of the year on friday!
sweet deal
alright
bye for now and thanks for reading

home and randoms

hello everybody

so right now, im waiting on a call from Nexen to find out if I have a job. ive been waiting a week, they said on tuesday they would call me on Monday. so hopefully there is a job available, if not, I need to do some job hunting, or go back to Marks work wearhouse. I need a job to pay for my tuition and textbooks for the fall at the University of Calgary. school starts on the 8th, so i do have a little time.

so I've been home a week and a half and have caught up with a bunch of people, which has been great. spending time with friends and family and somehow filling up a week where i only worked on morning (helping move a fridge) and obviously didnt have school, with random things. it was actually pretty cool, but i do need to start making a little money.
went and saw Hulk on Saturday with Caleb, Matthias and Justin, that was a good movie, better than the first in my opinion. I saw it at the cheap seats which is always good and then we hung out at Timmys til they kicked us out. I went for wings on wednesday with Kevin, Josh and Justin, that was a good time, we went to Kevo's after and played Halo. the wednesday tradition lives on.

on friday I went and took pictures downtown with Jake, more good times. hung out at the mall with Rachel last saturday and went for coffee this week. watched a movie with Shawn and Chelsea last week and we went to Boston pizza. so yea its been a week of random stuff like that.
Jake and I went biking on saturday from Bonavista up the Bow river pathway to Prince's Island park, that was fun, then we rushed to center street church and met up with Bart.

on sunday the guest speaker at bonavista church talked about community and how we treat others. it was a good topic, we can never fully understand how much we affect other people when we do or say little things, but if we let the Holy Spirit work in us and we act in love than friendships and that sort of thing always go better.
yea this post is kinda random.

the last 7 months i really got into Switchfoot. they just have such good songs with awesome lyrics. like "Gone". it clicked for me on a saturday as I walked around in Perth, it said "today will soon be gone, like yesterday is gone, like saturday is gone.....dont spend today away" basically dont waste the day, once its gone its gone. so many songs with great sound and great lyrics. ive been listening to alot of sanctus real, thousand foot krutch and jack johnson lately.

thats all for now, maybe I'll go play with my niece or something.
thanks for reading
