Hi Edna!!
I'm so happy that you write again! I must say, I was worried you were bored by this now, but seems that you still have inspiration, which is great. And I thought about you recently, like since monday, I saw a girl at the school where I work, and she really looks like you! I wonder actually what you looked like when you were her age, about 11, but she does have the same kind of features in her face, it's weird. Tho of course you are unique, ahah! Speaking of where I work, its going well, its been now 2 weeks since I started and the kids like me I think. Most of them see me walking around and they just smile a lot and say "bonjour", all proud, but since I'm not suppose to know English, they never talk to me much because they don't know enough French to hold a conversation :P. But it's ok, it'll get better with some time, I guess. I don't know how, but I find anglophones kids are not like francophones, like they dont act the same, and they dont think the same way... I founded that too when I was babysitting Leah and Flynn back at the Creek. But kids in general are fun and curious, so I like them both :). And it's so weird now that I'm part of the staff in the school, I get to eat lunch with the other teachers, which I never thought would have happen! I get to hear them talk about their work, to watch them as what they really are outside work, its fascinating! Same thing when I'm in a class, I'm the one who decides who gets to talk and who is the winner, and I'm the one writing on the board and all, I love it! Ahaha it sounds so childisch, but thats how I think when I'm working. Like, I dont know about you, but when I was a kid, I would always think "if I was the teacher, I would have done this and all", and now I get to be one, sort of ^^.
Beside work, life is pretty quiet here too. I mean social life :P. My roommates are nice, but one is always in her room with her boyfriend or at his house, and the other one is away sometimes but never tell me what she is up to or anything, and I never dare to ask her... So I'm pretty much always at home when not working. But I do sometimes go outside to take a walk. The city is pretty here, tho really hilly, like you always have go up and down hills wherever you walk. So theres not much people walking around here, which means people drive all the time. But for myself, I do walk anywhere I go, like I went twice to the Wal-Mart to get stuff for the appartment, which was 45 minutes of walk, but once there, I was up the hill and the view on the city was great :). You would like it here, we are surrounded by mountains, and the sea is not that far from the city. I can't wait too for the leaves to turn red, people talk about it already, its gonna be beautiful outside. For now its not as cold as I expected it, which is good, and we had mostly cloudy days but not that much rain. But back to social life, I planned on going to Stephenville next week-end, which is a city an hour away from here, where a monitor like me lives. We took the plane together to get her and we shared a room at the training session in Quebec city, so we know eachother ok. Its great that we get along, and we talk throught facebook about our work days, to tell eachother advices and hints :). And its good to have a Quebec presence close by ^^. But for now, I only planned on doing laundry and cleaning this week-end, bleh :P. Adult life I guess.
I feel sorry for your grand-mother, hope for you that she gets well soon :). And about your friend Greg, well I hope he gets the hint, if you ever gave him hints about your real intentions.. ;). Its good to hear that you find college interesting and you are still into travelling, which I never doubted tho. Tell me whenever you find where you want to go to! For myself, I already planned on spending next summer on this small island in St. Laurent Gulf call Iles-de-la-Madeleine with my sister! Its not as exotic as the Caribbeans or anything but you should google it, its pretty neat, and the beaches are awesome. I went there with my family about 12 years ago (wooow I can actually say that!), and we loved it! We want to find a job there and a place to stay for couple of weeks. I'm excited because I havent travel with my sister since our last family trip at Christmas in 2005. And we'll get to be on our own, its gonna be great!
Thats it from me for now, I will write later tho about my week-end in Stephenville. I'm actually going because we got hired to animate a group of kids for the Saturday for couple of hours, it'll be fun, and we will be paid! Ahaha!
Wish you good luck at school, and thanks for keeping this blog alive :D
