Bug Bites And Dreaming Big...

Looking back on my first week in Newfoundland, I can say that it has been interesting thus far.

I was placed with the town parks department, where I have been doing a lot of grounds maintenance, especially garbage clean-up. As a result, I have a bone to pick with both Tim Horton's and KFC.

It was cloudy and raining for much of the week, but we had a really good day during the week, in which I had to get my neck sunburnt (just the back, but it still hurts).

Myself & the rest of my group started weeding what will be our garden, which allowed me to use a weed-whacker. I took much pleasure in bringing weeds to their violent demise. However, during the gardening, bugs were abundant, and everyone got some bites. Some of mine were conveniently right on top of the sunburnt part of my neck, which made it hurt even more.

We had a workshop with the rest of the cluster called "Dream Big" today. It was about making a plan for our future. The workshop was designed as "A Life Lesson With Tiger Woods," so naturally Tiger was all over the course material. It was a good workshop, but there was way too much Tiger all over it.
