Secret Satellite Dishes
Bylands is beautiful, school is stressful, family is fantastic, church is challenging, and the blog is back.
I am slightly miffed with the Chemistry teacher. Okay, I do take into consideration that she is young, a student teacher, who is therefor, learning also. There are just some things I find to be a bit obvious. Such as last week, I missed a class to write a test, since the class when everybody wrote it I had a doctor's appointment. So I approached her at the end of class to pick up the things I missed. I was informed I'd have to copy the notes off of the pink sheet (it was about calculating molarity). Being one who needs an extra push in Chemistry to get things, and her being my teacher how knows this, I asked if I would need to come in and have her explain it to me. With a big smile she reassured me that the sheet was very self-explanatory, and I would have no trouble. Well...let me tell you...I sat down to look at the homework for this molarity calculation Tuesday evening, and I was almost more confused than a dog in a cat pound. If that's ever happened. Anyways. Unfortunately we had a quiz on this stuff Wednesday morning. Basically got zero on the quiz (I was expecting this result, easing a bit of the failure pain), and since Wednesday I've accumulated worksheets on this mysterious molarity calculation thing I can't seem to grasp. Today at lunch I was going to see my Math teacher for Chem help, however, she had a substitute in for her today. And then, I found out we have a test in Chem on Monday. Enough of this nonsensical story. Moving on to the satellite dish...
A couple weeks ago, when we began the Saturday at work with a game of eye spy, I spied something with my little eye that seemed quite out of place. Since it was extremely odd, and a little difficult to spot, I decided to pick it as my "spy." It took everybody a very long time to get it, so as they guessed I pondered what it was doing on Bylands property. Let me set the scene for you. Bylands consists of a Garden Centre (where you buy gardening supplies, etc. It's a store haha), greenhouses, and planting fields. Only the lunch room in greenhouse 5 has heating, other than that it's big plastic greenhouses amongst the planting fields. It's a very large property, being the largest plant nursery in Western Canada, and second largest in Canada. This thing I spotted was a satellite dish, a large grey one, attached to the biggest building past the Longely fields. It holds all the bulbs for some of our plants, and is a solid building (in contrast to the typical plastic). Why in the world is there a random satellite dish attached to this building? There is no reason for it to be there. It occured to me I myself have never entered this building, just been told about it.
Is there a secret Russian spy ring in there?
Are they holding people hostage?
Do all full time Bylands employees actually live in there?
Maybe all our Mexican workers get some super awesome benefits (they work in that building)?
Is "Bylands" just an alias for "Rave Lands" (we've discussed how it'd be an excellent place for a rave)?
Or maybe, it's a secret Finnish spy ring...nobody would see that one coming.
...my life isn't very exciting, is it?
