I love the smell of humidity and dead leaves early in the morning! That's right everyone, I am back at University. If you can recall from my last post, I was facing a bit a crisis trying to determine what to do with my life. During the summer, I reflected and made a plan for this upcoming year. The plan consisted of staying in school and the same programme, joining a University sports Team, doing well in school, and of course acting.
Throughout the summer, I worked for the first official time (with a company other than the Canadian Government and my dad's company) at Heritage Park. Heritage Park is the largest historical village in Canada. My job was that of being a humble gardener (I had to dress as a man, as it was more appropriate given the strenuous and hands on tasks.) It was a great first job! I loved my boss, crew mates, and everyone in general. This job enabled me to meet many people visiting from many parts of the world and this country, it was AWESOME! I also trained for Rugby, since I wanted to try out for the University of Ottawa Rugby team. Sadly, I couldn't tryout for the team, since they moved tryouts 2 weeks earlier than usual. This did not give me enough time to quit my job, fly all the way to Ottawa, pack and more. However the main decision factor was that I wanted to spend more time with my little brother and parents. As a trip, my mum, little brother, and myself went on a hiking and sightseeing trip in Jasper National Park. I must say it was one of the most memorable, breath taking, and beautiful trips I have been on in a while. I highly recommend to anyone to go and visit this park! Being from Alberta, and meeting visitors from around the world on that trip made me exceptionally proud to be Canadian and Albertan.
As an actress, I have always been a huge movie goer. One of the highlights of my summer was seeing a movie once to twice a week. Some people might now be thinking that I'm some fat, gamer, movie, obsessed person, however I beg to differ. Some may also think it's weird that a girl would go to the movies so often. However, I must say it is not. I love the movies! They give me a chance to lose myself to a different world and forget all my troubles. My favourite film of this summer was by far The Dark Knight Rises! IT WAS SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS OF THE 21st CENTURY THAT I HAVE SEEN!! Later on, I will provide a movie review of the film for it's DVD/BlueRay release. I also had the great privilege of seeing both screenings of the wonderfully talented Danny Boyle's Frankenstein from National Theatre Live! I have got to say that was honestly one of the greatest plays I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a bit.) I will also provide a review for this play later on.
Well it was great getting to catch up on everything! More to come... I PROMISE!
