The last day I posted was only three days ago, but already so much has changed.
We toured the work placements and explored some of the downtown. I also had my first taste of Night Life. Being from Fredericton NB, and at the same time being 18, I had yet to go to a bar or club, and last night both those things changed. First a bar, then we went to a night club at a center known as (are you ready for this?) The Clap. I didn't want to sit down much in "The Clap"... But I actually had a really fun time. Dancing and letting go for a bit was so freeing and I enjoyed it as much as I could. (Dear Mum and Dad, I didn't drink to much. Just enough to see what it's all about. FYI not a fan of beer...)
Today was our first day at work. I surprised myself with the amout of french I was able to come up with. Entire bits of conversations were in French on my part.
A la travaille, j'ai travaille dans la jardin. That means at work, I worked in the garden! I'm already learning French. AND ITS DAY 8! I am really enjoying this. As I have mentioned before, my housemates are great. They are the best group, with such a variety, it is better than I could have asked for. And as Kurtis (from Ottawa, no surprise) puts it "We are awesome, especially Kurtis." Clearly there are ego problems in the House. But we willsort them out.
Every day a new adventure, so no worries.
really great to read these posts molly!
