My group has already become very close. The eleven of us are always talking, cooking, playing games and usually laughing. Last night, we took the bus with our new bus passes and went down town, and Toto, we aren't in Kansas any more. For those of you who don't know, the Fredericton downtown is about three blocks long and two blocks deep, so when little me got into downtown Quebec City, it felt like it stretched on for days! There was every type of store you could want, and almost every fourth store sold Gelato. Yum! The streets were lined with people going in and out of traffic, there was lights everywhere, it was brilliant! After downtown, a few people talked about going clubbing or to a bar, but I chickened out and stayed in with Arnaud, Kurtis, Anna, Bruce and Kaley to watch Across the Universe only to sing along bady and fall asleep before the end of the movie.
The days so far have been really interesting. Its all about the rules and expected behaviours and getting to know each other. We are really good at the last one.
The other day we were doing something with the two other Katima-groups in the area. One in Beauparte and one in La Vie. We all congregated at the Beauparte house,and realized how little and cramped our house is. We have now taken to affectionatly calling our house a "Crayon Box". A. because it is tiny and not a lot of elbow room, and also because in every room there is at least one wall that is a different colour than the rest. For example, the room I am in right now houses three of the girls, is 10 feet by 15 feet approximatly and has three white walls and one blue one. The whole house is like this. Its great.
Every day a new adventure, so no worries.
