blue_lotus13I've been rather busy. Here's what I've been up to:
1. Studying and reading a lot for my food security course. I don't know if I'm supposed to be reading everything that they gave me, but I've been throwing myself into it. I have an assignment due this week. I spent most of Tuesday reading about biotechnology. Then I went to "Thoughtful Tuesdays" which is an informal tea/movie night put on at a local tea house. The movie this week was "Hijacked Futures", which was about saving seeds and possible loss of biodiversity and agricultural loss. I'm surprised that I didn't have nightmares after having such a heavy day.
2. Slept 10 hours on Tuesday night, thanks to melatonin.
3. Wednesday I went to get a police records check done, drove to the Vue office and then came home and did a bunch of work. Then I drove out to Smoky Lake to meet with the pumpkin growers and learn about the effort that goes into making a pumpkin festival that attracts over 5,000 people. I also learned how to grow really big pumpkins. Did you know that a pumpkin can gain up to 20 pounds a day? That blew my mind.
4.Today I've got a bunch of work to do, because I'm going home to Saskatoon for the long weekend. I cannot wait, as it's been almost a year since I've been home. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to take work with me, but it looks like I'll be working a little over my holiday as I just have too much to do. Can't be helped, I guess.
