Its finally here!!! I am moving to Canada!

SO... I am finally moving up to Vancouver! Its finally happening! It still feels a little surreal.
My Mom and I are driving up on November 1st. We are making a few stops along the way to break up the 22 hour drive. I think we are stopping just outside of Sacramento, Portland and somewhere in Washington, close to the Canadian border. We plan to be in Vancouver in the early afternoon on the 4th.
I am excited to show my Mom my apartment and the school. AND I am soooo excited to start going to the singles ward. There is a very cute First Nations (What would be their Indians) guy in the Vancouver ward that I'd like to meet up with...
The singles ward reminds me a lot of the Britannia ward in London. Its very diverse. There are people from all walks of life. I think there are even a couple of other Vancouver Film School students there!
On that note, I CAN'T WAIT TO START SCHOOL!!!!!! I have been a regular on the VFS website, (for anyone that is interested its, www.vancouverfilmschool.com ... go to the Make-up for film and television link) I keep checking out the great new things I get to learn, and the old skills I'll get to perfect. I am most excited for the prosthetics and animatronics part of the course.
There is a special award given to the Make-up student that has the best portfolio and has the best grades throughout the year. I am going to try for that award. The prize includes a full make-up kit, a signed letter of recommendation from the Make-Up Head of Department and a one year subscription to Make-Up Artist Magazine. So cool!

I guess that's it for now... I'll try at keeping everyone posted!
Wish me luck!
