So I am finally here settled into my house.
First off lets start with Mass-O camp.
I left for London at 1:00 and caught my bus at 2:30, and then travelled to Toronto to pick up my team, after my team was picked up from the bus termonal we went to the airport to pick up the rest of the people. Then we took another bus to Dunnville to start our camp.
Masso camp was with the Welland house and the Port Colbourne house a long with my house.
We were there from Wednesday night to Sunday afternoon. It was a very fun week, getting to know my group, new people and just what this experience is going to be like. after our Mass-O camp we dropped of the Welland and Port Colbourne group and travelled 2 more hours on a bus to our house here in Hamilton.
We have been here in Hamilton since Sunday night, and I have been having a blast!!!!!
I'll post more after becuase I'm tired haha
Love you all!!!

1 day and almost a half!!!!
I leave in like a day and almost a half(not quite a half) and the nerves are starting to get to me.
I have talked to like so many people, and say how much I'm going to miss this town(Ingersoll) and especially the people in it, and they always say yeah but don't worry cause your going to meet new people and you'll be fine, but how come whenever someone says that to you it seems to get harder to leave?
I am faced with a huge difficulty and roadblock for when I leave on Wednesday, I so want to have fun and let my fears go unnoticed, and step out of my comfort zone to meet new people, but I so desire to stay in my natural comfortable habitat. But I guess thats why I'm with other people, who will hopefully soon grow to accept me and like me just as much as everyone here does. I know forsure that I will never be alone. I will not be alone in the category of people feeling the exact same way as I do. I had talked to my PL the other day whom seemed to be a very nice girl, and I just hope everyone is as nice.
I leave very soon, and now that I have my packing done reality is sinking in. I'm going to be gone from home with no parents to help me through it, for 9 months!!! I'm going to have to suck it up and not be a mommy's girl or a daddy's girl for the whole 9 months and be my own girl:) haha, hopefully it'll work.
I'll write more, and my first official post about Katimavik will probably be sunday or monday night:)
Stay tunned my lovely readers:)

7 more sleeps!!!! HOLLA!!!!
Thats right,
theres only 7 sleeps until I leave, and I am sooo stoked (for all of you older ones readying this stoked means excited)
I still have to pack, and buy some stuff, but it's all good
I think I can handle the stress,
So I bought my bus ticket, and thats really exciting!!! only becuase the man gave me the bus ticket with a student dicount, and I didn't even have my student card, and I'm not even techincally a student becuase I'm not in school....cool huh?
So I had this dream last night that I was on my way , and I forgot all my luggage, and my dad got on the bus that left half hour after my bus did, and met me in toronto trying to find me to give me my luggage, and he couldn't find me, and then my group said that only my family wasn't aloud to visit, so I was stuck wearing the exact same thing for 9 months!!
Gross eh?
so i'm really hoping I remember my luggage, ahah
but how could I forget it becuase it's soo big....
but thats all I got for today, just wanted to let you know how many days, and about my dream ahah
Love you all!!!
Peace out!

10 days what!?!?!
Thats right, I leave in 10 days!!!!!!!
I'm sooo excited to leave,(haha as I've posted in my other ridculous blogs) I have so much to do and it's like now crunch time and I feel like I wont be able to get it done!!! I have so many people to see, and I've being trying soo sooo hard to see everyone, but only half hour at lunch time is sooo hard, but I'm determined to see everyone!!!!So if you read this and I haven't seen you yet, don't worry I'll see you:)
So I recieved my package in the mail which tells me all about my bus routes and man I'm soo excited, but I'm sooo stinkin scared ahha, I've never taken a bus before, let alone by myself, but I think it'll be fun. Just sit behind the driver and beside a little cute old lady and everythings good:)
So I take a bus to TO where I'll meet up with my team and two other groups and I'm off for Oreintation camp:) which should be interesting. After my 3 days of orientation camp, i'm off to Hamilton to start my adventures. There I'll do numerous activities and volunteer works, and then on January 7th I'm off to the cold province of Newfoundland, and then on March 25th I'll pack my bags again and travel out west to Manitoba, where I will stay three months and on June 17th I'll end my journey and come back to boring(it will be to me after this is done) old Ingersoll
Well thats all I got for today, keep in touch because I'll make on more post before I leave about randomness and wanting to leave, and then it'll all be post about the fun I'm having and possibly the fun your not having hah:)
Love you all!!
Peace out!
