Hali oh Hali !

It's been now a week that I'm back from Halifax and since I haven't write about it yet, it's about time I do! Well, I'll just sumarize what happen that first night we got there, because that was quite a night, and I made myself the promise to write it down so I'll remember, and never do it EVER again :P. Like mention in my previous post, we arrived late at the airport so we missed the plane we were suppose to take, then once in Halifax, we knew we had nowhere to go because the hostel was full on that day and no one on couchsurfing answered us. So there we were, wandering in the airport, with nowhere to go or anyone to contact. The thing is, I was so tired of my week and so upside down because of the stress before the flight, I didn't manage to panic at any moment in that situation, how weird.... Oh well, I guess I just didn't want to make it look worst, or that it would have been useless anyways :P. So as we were thinking about maybe crashing in the airport for the night, or get to town and find a covered slide to sleep in, we got to the fact that maybe we did want to pay a little extra to at least sleep in a bed. We got to this counter where we can call hotels around the airport and found the cheapest with a free shuttle to get us there and breakfest included, how great! After missing the shuttle once because I misread the sign on it, we got to the hotel and Robi put out the Visa card: 150$ plus tax for this wrong-planned-first-night in holy Hali...!!! I wish I could say it was worth it, because the bed was awesomely confortable and the room as great, but we didn't stay for 12 hours and like I said, it was unplanned. Oh well, at least we made it to Kings in time, clean and rested, kinda.... and dear Edna got to meet her new collegues looking decent :). On my side, I got to walk around the city where I used to go, 3 years ago with other exchange students, oh old memories were brought back there, it got sensitive....not! Well a bit for sure, but I was mostly glad to be back, even though it wasn't the same without them. It still got to send a picture to one of them, so at least she could know I was there at the moment. So there I spent the day walking around, I even went to the place I used to live, but nobody was there, and of course I was too shy to knock or something, so instead I wrote them a quick letter saying I passed by and let my email adress, which I still find surprising, because I wouldn't usually have done it, but dunno, something pushed me doing it.....Anyways, I got tired of wandering and made my way back to Kings, because I didn't have a room at the hostel for that night either, so Edna let me crash there, I will still be thankful for that, since she wasn't allowed to have any visitors over yet, and that it was also her first night there, with new roommate Gwen. Do I need to mention that first year university students are freakin cool and funny? I spent that whole night in Edna's room, reading, relaxing, resting, whatever didn't need that much energy from me, and they kept walking in, loud, excited, funny, and drunk as the night went on....! I really got entertained, without even doing anything, they just needed to ask me those random questions like "to you think this shirt makes me look pregnant?" or random thoughts I can't quote because they were so much (and I obviously don't remember them :P ), it made me laugh a lot! And this went on for hours, hilarious! Anyways, the next day I also got to wander around the city, but went on an other part of the city, where it's quieter, well I thought so. I used to go there with my exchange friends to eat candies by the water and watch sunset, but during the day, alone, it's quite boring. So I decided to rest there a bit, read the brochures and random phamplets I was carrying for any reason in my purse, but all those families kept coming around, walking and talking loudly. They all seemed foreigners too, like Italian or Holland, and they was always one man louder, like a guide or something, walking with them. Weird. Whatever, I left not long after, done with the reading, and made my way to a Sobeys to buy lunch. I'll skip all the unimportant details to bring up the most important, when I went back to the campus to get my stuff and move it the hostel (yep, finally could book a night :P). From the campus, I got to walk with Edna, bored I guess of all the Frosch stuff going on, and was glad we could talk a bit. Even though she seemed really tired and upset, I was glad of that little chat we had on the stairs of that building we sat on. Well, obviously I'm glad of every chat we have. We surely talked a lot too while together, and still, I'm sure we would have had a lot more to talk about. That's probably the main reason of that blog, I guess, talking about whatever we would have tell each other, if we had been together. I sure hope the both of us will keep writing, or else that would mean we don't have anything to say anymore. But I'm not worried for the moment, since Ednas at uni, she surely will have a lot to tell, and I'll be quick to read it and answer it! :D
I still have one more day in Halifax to talk about, but since that day was mostly me walking around to pass the time, then encounter with Edna to walk a bit, saying goodbye, run to the hostel than catch the shuttle to the airport, it's not worth a story, I'll just end it here. How bad is this post ending, I know I could do better but eh, I've been writing this for hours! Gotta life, you know!
Ahhaha, kidding, but yeah, I don't know how to end this, so I'll just say: good nite! :)
