the summer has arrived in vancouver

wooohooo for the sunshine! it has actually properly arrived now! the beaches are packed, the bikinis are out and the bbq's are out! :) just how i like it! The past couple of days have been pretty sunny and its supposed to be getting hotter! thank goodness, i was starting to think id come the whole way across the world to get sunshine and was gonna be getting the same weather as ireland! and thats not cool!!

since friday, i was working on saturday and sunday nights so that was fun. ive only been getting 4 hr shifts which is a bit of a pain as i really need big bad 8 hr shifts to pay the rent/live etc so im having to have a look around and see what else i can find aswell/instead!! its sooo frustrating, as soon as i think ive got something sorted - boom, it turns out to not be as good as id hoped! grrr! but i was in a coffee shop/restaurant place yesterday that is hiring and the guy seemed pretty keen. he was saying its around 40 hrs a week sometimes maybe 36 and sometimes maybe 42 but will average out about 40 so thats good! im just really hoping i get something sorted soon coz its starting to get frustrating now! but anyway enough ranting about jobs, u dont wanna have to hear it as much as i dont want to have to do it!

so what else have i been up to? ehhh well ive been hanging out with people from all over the world which is brilliant, its class how many different nationalities there are in one city, but getting to know them has been great! i suppose coming from ireland where the majority of people are irish it was a bit strange at the start but im loving it! i went for an explore with two friends from honduras on monday, im def going to visit them sometime! it sounds like a brilliant country with LOTS of sunshine, tho by the sounds of things it might be a little too hot! so yea just keeping myself amused with lots of exploring - i love it and its free! :) and just makes me realise how lucky i am to be here, i may not be loaded with money right now, but im still having fun and i suppose its a hugeeeasss learning curve about how to just get on with it and keep going and keep having fun and the best will come and will happen i just gotta keep positive about it and all will be well!

sorry there isnt anything particularly exciting that i can think of thats been happening, but im off to bowan island on friday for the day so think that should be really fun and hopefully il have lots of stories from that! missing everyone lots, keep sending emails, fb msgs etc, they are soooo appreciated and i will get back to you! xxx
