Well, I meant soon as in four days. I had a great weekend. Did not accomplish a thing, just the way I wanted. I guess I played hockey and volleyball. I did cheer and holler when Edmonton beat Vancouver on Saturday. But that's it, great hey? I felt so rested on Monday. Even today I still have a bunch of energy going. I usually don't get any energy until Friday, when I know that the weekend is almost here. It's going to be a good week I'm sure. I get to play squash tonight with Stacey and Annie. I miss that from school. I miss the games where I could get Jeff so worked up he'd want to smash is racquet and swear so loud that the people in the next building could here him. I miss the games with Mike where we'd go to set points in the last game of a best of seven match. I also miss my swimming. Yes, jumping in the pool at 6:30 in the morning sucked some days but it felt so good. I especially like the times where the sun would be rising as I swam, filling the windows. The water started to sparkle and I just want to swim that much harder. The higher the sun got, the faster I swam. The sun rises I saw lifeguarding in Nanton were even more spectacular. I'd be out on the deck alone early in the morning, the birds just starting to fly, the brand new air filling my lungs, and I would have to cover my mouth and turn away to keep from shouting with joy. I was on the verge of bursting with happiness, knowing that I still had the whole rest of the day to enjoy doing a job that I'd dreamed of doing since I was very small. I don't think I will be a 'lifeguard' again, but I think it was the best job I'll ever have...
