My Summer so Far : Amanda
So, I got this internship in the capital of my country, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm working in the office of a Minister of State doing research, attending committee, Question Period, and tons of other meetings. It's fantastic.
But the exciting part of my life happens OUTSIDE of the office (as it is with most people, I suppose!) annnnd I'm not legally allow to share what I do in my office anyways. =)
So I'm living at the National House of Prayer with like 10 other people... and occasionally I feel the need to prank people. Like last night. I had a roll of suran wrap in my closet (doesn't everyone?) and wanted to warp Jerimiahs car. Except he doesn't have a car... so we did his bike! Brilliant! I'm sure he'll be stoked when he needs to get to work this afternoon.
Honestly, I don't understand why he doesn't love me.
Then the other day, my friend and I went down to the market, wandered around all the booths, took pictures with the flowers =), and grab a gelato. It was lovely. We go rollerblading together several times a week, and like to experience the city together. Once we got on a bus and took it all the way to Kanata (which is like an hour away!) When we got there, we got hit on by high schoolers. It was halarious... Yes, we are dorks.
And finally, I need to include the highlight of the summer so far; I got to meet the Prime Minister of Canada, The Most Honourable Stephan Harper! It was a glorious moment (I'm sure I heard angels singing) as we chatted about where I was from, where I'm working, go to school, etc... forgive me, it was kind of a blur. =)
