Jour 16: Je suis fatigué
So...i have officially completed half of my thing here at trois pistole and i can say that i am learning alot. i don`t have a huge vocabulary or anything...but im getting the grammar stuff and today i received my test back which i wrote yesterday....90%. don`t mind, don`t mind. so people here are really cool...interesting...last night at the bar 3 pistoles i ended up having a political discussion over separation with a couple from london, a professor of english or something in that area at the university of guelph and this french bumm off the street that is really smart yet looks like like a bum. it was tres bizarre...only at trois pistoles. so yesterday was the first day that it was sunny since we arrived here at trois pistole...it was still cold but at least the sun was out...today it is warmer...tomorrow should be even better...yet it still is like sweater weather. ummm on the weekend the BFF club (consisiting of amy, liz, ryan, sierra, shannon myself) and matt and charis went to new brunswick to get out of trois pistole. we went to edmunston which pretty much is the biggest town/city in the province. so it pretty much had nothing...we shopped for like 15 minutes...went out for chinese and walked down the bridge and visited the fort...nothing much for a 2 hour drive...but at least i can say ive been to new brunswick now. plus the french accent there is even worse...like i thought i had a hard time understanding hick french...no this was indiscernable. on friday night charis, matt and i went to the local piscine and swam some laps, relaxed in the hot tub and stuff...good times. pretty much everyone here has a cold...ive had a cold since ive arrived here and i can barely speak every morning. so tonight there is another spectacle obligatoire where this fou homme is going to sing about love and compare it to an apple or something...i dunno. i think im going to skip. sleeping is so much better right now. my atalier (workshop in the afternoon) is going good now...some kids left because they were complaining it was to easy...and then we got another animatrice named dorthy. she is hot. i think here and yanick (my other animateur) have something going on. anyways...im just rambling...i apologize for the randomness and lack of structure...out.
