oh man you don't know how excited I am to be leaving in only 19 days!!!!
but then again with all that excited comes stress.....the dredded stress:(
I honestly can't wait to start to adventure on September 17th but then again I'm scard. I've never been away from home for more than like a week, let alone without friends, and people I don't know. So thats kind of scary.
But I just can't wait to leave and meet my group members, and hopefully make lifetime friends. I'm so excited to start my work, although I don't know what it is yet, I'm sure it will be utterly amazing!!!!!!
I don't really have much to post on this time, and really until I leave, so my next couple posts will be just really how many days left until I leave:):)

Only 36 more days!!
Time is going by so so fast!
Only 36 more days and then I'm off! 36 days, that's almost a month and makes me that much more excited, I just can't wait to leave. My nerves are starting to go away and my excitement is starting to kick in:):)
There is still so much to do, and with most of my financial situations gone(paying for laptop and medical stuff) I feel so much better. It feels like my list of things to do has totally gone down immensely in length!
There is really not much to post about except, I want you guys to go and watch this video, it's amazing and I love it! It's really sad but I think that with awareness we can stop abuse.
Going into Katimavik, there is a chance I may be working with teens or women or even men who have been abused and have been taken out of their home, or even homeless people who have become homeless from abuse and trying to get away, and I think that we should do all that we can to stop abuse and to help people who are in this situation to get out of it, although I have never experienced it, I know that so many people who are in this situation are trying to get out but just can't.
The link I'm posting is for a music video called Alyssa Lies, and it's about this little girl who met a new friend who was abused and in the end she dies. This particular video is about a class who used this song for English and people were actually removed from their homes because they spoke up about being abused to their teacher after watching this video in class.

anyways I'm off.
hope you somewhat enjoy video, and I hope it speaks to you
comment to tell me what you think.
Peace out!

40 more days!!!
Wow where to start!
Time is going by soo soo fast. I have only 40 days left until I leave, and you don't know how stressed I am.
There is just so much to do, and I feel as though I wont be able to get any of it done. There is also so much to figure out. Like firstly what clothes to bring, what shoes to wear, and of course how much underwear to bring:P! haha just kidding about the underwear situation.
What if I forget something important, like for example underwear!! my total worst fear when I'm gone, that I'll forget underwear. Like how embarrassing can that be :S haha. So lets just hope that I don't forget them. What else is there. Buses!!!!! anyone hear about that man in Manitoba who was on a bus sleeping and had his head cut off!! That could be me. What if that happens to me when I'm on the bus to Toronto? huh? For the record I would like to keep my head, and I think I'm just being waaaayyy too paranoid huh?
So in 40 days I'm off to Toronto to pick up my fellow Katimavikers, and then off back here to Hamilton for my first three months. When January 7th roles along, I'll be taking the flight(I think and hope) out east to Newfoundland, where I will spend the freezing cold winter there..eek! I hate winter... and then on March 25th my voyage will turn around to come back to Manitoba, to speak french...mind you I suck at french, for my last 3 month rotation.....on June 17th, watch out Ontario(Ingersoll mainly) becuase Stephanie Tree will be back to rock your socks off like usual:)
It shall be a swell time.
I'll make sure I post when the time gets closer, and when I'm gone. Keep watching for more posts from the Travelling Tree:) on her Katimavik voyage.
Peace out!
Stephanie.
ps: leave some comments when I'm gone so I atleast know some people are reading this. I don't want to be writing, and think that no one reads this. How depressing!!!
pss: You can also email me whenever you feel like it at stephanie.katimavik@gmail.com, and again please email me just so I know people are actually still remembering me, and that people care about me:) Love you all!
