These past couple days have been busy, busy. I spent Thursday and Friday doing water quality testing at Camrose's landfill. Wow, was that an educational experience. The engineer I was working with told me, "I wish everyone could visit a landfill at least once." There's a lot of truth to that. I found old couches in amazing condition, recyclable electronics and water bottles, the environmentalist's new enemy du jour, littered all over the landfill's most recent cell, which is the engineer's euphemism for "pile of garbage."
On my way back home, I decided to make a detour through the city of Camrose (on company time) for one particular reason: I really needed to see Augustana Campus. You see, I have this weird bourgeois complex where I'm constantly second-guessing my choice of schools. Back in high school, I applied to Augustana, a tiny satellite campus of the University of Alberta. I actually got rejected by them, which is probably one of the only times I've been rejected from anything in my entire life. Anyways, I was pleased to discover that the campus was super dull, and super small. And Camrose is one of those cities that are great places to die: packed full of old people and businesses that cater to old people.
I got a much-needed break this weekend and skipped out of town this weekend to camp at Pembina River. I got to hike around and catch some sun, and hang out with my friend's Frat, which is half made up of people from my high school, so it was an awesome chance to do some serious catching up!
