The Rose City

So I've spent a full day and night now in Camrose and ... I am bored. Anyways, lets go over some things during my stay thus far:

I settled in on Sunday and went to bed early. Somewhere around 11 I started hearing music from my neighbour. I start hearing symphonic type music and wonder, I wonder if thats a girl next door. Cue the switch to AC/DC! Oh yeah, I'm staying in the dormrooms of a bible study college. Seriously, crapdammit, You have to blast AC/DC at 11 pm?? Finally I knock on the door, quick intro, "hey I'm trying to get some sleep, your music is too loud" and he goes oh sorry, and thanks for coming to me instead of complaining. I head back to bed and the musc is turned down but I realize that the walls are seemingly as soundproof as lego bricks. Okay fine, I don't know how well Lego contains sound, but I could still hear the AC/DC. Dammit, its not even the Back in Black album. Eventually I get to sleep...

So I wake up for my first day at my new placement. For my first day I would be actually be driving with my preceptor (supervisor) to Viking, which is about 45-50 minutes from Camrose. Yay... As it turns out she has an orientation day due to a job she has started a while ago and hasn't been able to make one of the orientation day for a while. The point is, the day was pretty much a snoozefest and I didn't really do anything.

Once that part of the day is over, I eventually have to make supper for myself. Now, the kitchen I have access to is across the street from me. Its not a great situation, but whatever. I was not able to successfully adapt to the fact that my materials adn the kitchen was seperated by so much space. I kept forgetting materials everytime I walked to the kitchen. "Oh crap, I forgot the pots *runs back*... oh crap, I forgot the butter *runs back*.... and is the inside of this fridge actually warmer than this room?" Well, I don't feel that I really cook anyways. I just sort of heat up some foodstuffs, and unite them in a bowl...

And now, here I am. I actually went to the visitor center and asked what is there to do in Camrose. The response? There are musuems around, if you like those. My preceptor said that Camrose is marketed as a retirement community as well. Its a slower paced lifestyle than Edmonton and it is filled with some nice scenery and walking trails. But walking is for suckers...le sigh

Anyways, time to head off before some more great but not appreciated at night because I'm fucking trying to sleep hard rock is blasted by my dorm neighbor...
