Getting out

So.  I'm not sure why I ended up deciding not to blog about anything that's happened to me in the last couple of months, because there have been plenty of noteworthy events.  My favorite one has to be getting involved with a group called Rotaract.  I found an article about them in the paper and they looked like a lot of fun, so I decided to look up their Facebook page.  After I was added, Hazel, one of the group's movers and shakers invited me to go on a boat trip on the river the next night.  I decided I needed to go.  See, I'm not averse to social engagements, but I am averse to feeling awkward. ;)  It's not like people are going to be beating down my door to meet me, so I have to put myself out there. 

Every night at my house

So I went and it was a great time.  Everyone was so friendly and funny and I was surprised that even though the group's age parameters are from 18 to 31, almost everyone was about my age or older.  [A very welcome change from being at HPU where I was always older than everyone.]  So the next time, I brought Cameron along and he loved everyone too.  We decided we would start going every time.  Basically the group is designed to be a social slash service/fundraising group.  I can't think of a more perfect combination: Spending time with fantastic people and helping others while I'm at it.

Some of the fun things we've done:

Boat ride on the river

Group cricket team

Dragon boat racing

Curry night at Spiceland

Pub quiz

Sadly, there were no pictures taken at Jive class, but that will change next week. :)

Tons of exciting things are on the way.  October 22 is the Rotaract Ball and it's 50s Rock n Roll theme, so I'm having a blast trying to find a cute swing dress (this is also where the jive class comes in). 

The weather has been unseasonably warm (read: 77 degrees) and I'm trying to take advantage of it while it's here.  Alice and I are going on a bike ride tomorrow if our bikes cooperate, and a nice long walk if they don't!  Friday, Alice is having a barbeque at her house, so this has been an especially eventful week considering Cameron isn't here.  I miss him like crazy, but he'll be back soon. :D
