Back in the Office

Hello everyone!

I have not posted in a long time because I was working at the Horizons camp for a couple of weeks. The camp went great and it was a lot of fun but also a lot of work. Horizons is a camp for girls that excel in math and science, they continue to develop their math and science skills while at the camp while also having the opportunity to enrich their lives and grow through personal development. It is a very cool thing to be able to be involved in this whole process and to watch and help the girls to grow and form bonds during the week. I am very glad that I was able to be a program assistant at Horizons this summer, and hope to do it again next summer.

I finished working at the camp on Saturday and was back at the office yesterday (Monday). It is good to be back, I know that all of my co-workers missed me. ;-) I had been taking care of paperwork, and had to go to Syracuse at the beginning of July to get stuff ready for my Visa, and while I was at the camp I officially got my Visa! I was so excited that it went through, and I am getting very excited to go to England! I have a lot more to do still, I am booking my plane ticket this Saturday and am hoping that I will be able to get a non-stop flight! I think that I am going to fly out of Montreal so I won't have to deal with stopping at another airport. I will be leaving Montreal on the 21st, and flying into London on the 22nd! There is going to be a representative from Brighton University at the airport to pick me up; that is going to be a huge relief to not have to deal with lugging my luggage all by myself!

I think that is it for now, only a month of summer left- gotta enjoy it! :)
