Well its finally putting 2 and 2 together and realizing that am actually in Canada.....

So everything is finally coming together I got my internet at home today, so I have some access to the world and I can keep connected. Now I have to go and catch up on like 3 weeks of 'Gossip Girl' and 'One Tree Hill'. I also got registered this week finally so am in my 4 courses, not all the ones iIorginally chose, but the fact still remains that am registered. My apartment is also ready for me to move in downstairs, the contractors haved finished their job. So am guessing 'they' (my glitches) were expecting me to reach Canada sometime this week. We Bahamians are always too early ...'NOT'.

So I've been cooking on a stove not in the the mircowave and not ready made dinners. One night I made me some fried chicken breast, Uncle Bens chicken flavoured rice, broccoli and corn. I was surprised that it turned out so well. I make sardine and grits, pancakes and sausage for breakfast, etc. My mom is so proud, people thought I would never make it in the kitchen.

I got lost a few times because I was trying to avoid walking home from school by catching the bus. The last time it was horrible i wanted to get off the bus but because of the snow storm he couldnt stop in the slush. The driver dopped me off but on another road up north but the area I live in was to my left, but I thought it was to my right and I ended up getting lost while the snow was to my calves. I called one of my buddies to let her know what happenend and that I was lost she she searched google earth found where I was and told me the street to look for, I had made a big circle. By the time I found my corner I was soaking wet and freezing I was sobbing because I had gotten lost just 2 days before. Its not cool getting lost in the cold.

My male roomates are not so bad but they love to party so do the Irish and German girls. So just about every night they go to the school's bar and drink the night away until the early morning so do the majority of Canadian students. The bar is actually open all day from like mid-day I believe, so in between classes or right after classes people go get a drink ...... an on campus bar ....Wow! I wonder if COB will ever have that ... hope not some students round there drunk as it is now. I go with them every now and again not to get drunk but to be sociable and to catch a few laughs.

I have been made an official Newfoundlander at a bar called Christians on the famous George St., it is the most bars, pubs, and clubs on one street, 30 in total on both sides, I believe. For the Screeching as they call it which is named after a Jamacian rum that was traded for fish back in the day. I had to say some jumbled words, kiss a dead frozen cod fish, do a dance, sing a song and then horse back a shot of Screech rum (40% alcohol). Then we got a certificate. Yay!!!

Even though there were many bumps in me getting here and getting settled there has been some fun times so far, its all apart of the experience. Just taking it a day at a time and my experience will help to make another persons experience 10 times better.

But with my 12 pack of Mountain Dew and my strawberry koolaid singles I'll be just alright.
