Short report about the previous week
canadiantour, 09:20h
Hey, guys.
Sorry that i took my so long to do some updates on my blog here... but i was really busy and didnt want to spend too much time on the internet.
Here some short notes about what i did the previous week (i note it down as well for me as a little reminder xD)
Saturday (Aug 20) :
I arrived at my new home at at 7 am; settleing down there etc., building up bed, relaxing, … 9.30 am: meeting Elisa at London Drugs in Vancouver Downtown.
We went to a bar, drinking some cocktails and then to a club where it was really crazy... the lights there turned on at 3 am and the securities threw us out cause the clubs here are closing at aroung 3 am already..... - and actually we thought we can take the nightbus home. i mean we are in vancouver, arent we? in fact, however, there arent any nightbuses anymore at this time.... incredible! well we had to take a cab for that reason.
Sunday (Aug 21): sleeping long (till 10 or 11 am), relaxing, shopping, going to the beach in West Vancouver, going swimming in the sea =)
Monday (Aug 22): sleeping till 9.30 am, the first rainy day in Vancouver, relaxing at home, eating some spaghetti for lunch, meeting tanja and karsten at granville station at around 3 pm. Going together to metropolis at metrotown, shopping rain coat for steffi
buying dough for brownies and a 12-inch-pizza, making the pizza and the brownies together at steffi's and my place =) karsten and tanja leave at around 10.30 pm
Tuesday (Aug 23): getting up at around 08.30 am, breakfast etc.
09.45 am: set off to Park Royal station, taking bus to van downtown, going to public outreach office
11.20 am – 01 pm : share skills workshops at PO office
02 am – 06.45 pm: fundraising for UNICEF on the street (cambie st./14th avenue)
after work with my supervisor (chloe) back to office, with some other colleagues to a field to play kickball. Quite funny. Leave at 09.30 pm.
Meet tanja, steffi, elisa and karsten at cambie hostel, leaving at around 10.30 pm, at home at around 11.30 pm. Shortly after midnight: finally in bed =D
Wednesday (Aug 24): getting up at 07.30 am
at cymax office at around 09.00 am (too early...), having training for a new job at an office (cymax) from 09.30 am to 01.30 pm.
Buying hair dryer in London drugs (finally i have a canadian one which works properly!!! yeah! =) ), going to SWAP to check some bus routes, meeting tanja and steffi there at around 3 pm.
Walking with them to Queen Elizabeth Park (so amazing!), getting to know Jenny (another German - what a surprise!) there, being there till ca. 08.15 pm.
Going back by skytrain and then back home to west van
Thursday (Aug 25), Friday (Aug 26), Saturday (Aug 27): just working... what sucks... especially why the fundraising job is somehow stupid =/
I have still got the fundraising job for UNICEF (i am working for a company called public outrach) and i am still in my evaluation/training time. Actually I have to hit target every day, which means signing up people with altogether 30 dollars a month. i am doing quite bad i have to admit. altogether i had already three zero-days... ^^ on one day i had two people with 25 dollars/month in total and today (sat) i signed up a man with 15 dollars/month. on thursday next week it is my last chance to pass evaluation time. otherwise i cant continue this job. It is pity, but i dont mind that much because i dont like the company that much.... there are a lot of things i dont agree with ^^
and i have got this part-time job at the office cymax anyway. so i have still the possibility to earn money.
Probably i write a lot of stuff that you are not intersted in it at all xD but i dont that mind that much - just skip over it =P as i said it is as well a reminder of what i did for myself ;)
cheers
