Hiking at Deep Cove and "assorted news"...

Hi everyone,
finally I got over my procrastination once again to write a new post in here!
October was pretty slow concerning work especially the last two weeks. They cut the Coffee Shop hours so there's only one shift from 8 to 4 left which means I'm only working banquets now cause Carol&Polly share the CS shifts. Sucks a lot cause it being October aka not-busy-at-all-banquet-month the most shifts I had a week were 4 (when I was lucky) and only a couple of hours. But the upside of it I had more free time especially on weekends to go out and do stuff :D The weather here has changed into fall-mode now which means lots and lots of rain. But still there can be pretty nice days from one day to the next. I made some pics to show you what a difference it can be looking outside my window (oh yeah you red that right, I have a window now and not just a tiny one!) (I love how there's a Cadillac Escalade driving by when I randomly took the pic)

Perfect switch to the next topic: I have a room upstairs now!!! I love it! Big big window! And I can use the bigger kitchen now and share my bathroom only with one other person (Angela, the Korean woman). At first it felt a little awkward in the new sourroundings but now I feel totally comfortable in my new room and everything. Only downside I don't have a closet anymore but therefore I'm paying less now oh and it's pretty noisy cause the window is on the side of the street (4 lanes & truck route) but I think I'll get used to that.
I did look at some other cheaper(that's the only reason why I was looking) rooms together with Seala who drove me around but they didn't blow me away so I decided to stay here and go upstairs! So far I'm glad I did so. It's really difficult and time-consuming to find a room that's nice and has everything I want.
I also added some pics from the back of the house I took some time ago but always forgot to upload!

                                           I hang out a lot with Seala these days. We went to see "The invention of lying" together (which btw I would not recommend. The idea is really good but the realization leaves a lot to be desired...) and on one of the Saturdays with awesome weather we went on a little hike at Deep Cove. That's a little village (I think it's still part of Vancouver) on the north shore. The hike took us only about 40 minutes uphill but even though it was not that high the view was awesome! On our way back we stoped at Starbucks for a yummy pumpkin spice skone =)

Okay I gotta go sleep now I'm tired but you can look forward to the next post about my weekend in Seattle!!! The pics are already on my photobucket if you wanna look =)

xoxo
