Just want to share a short little something on today...
Work today was quiet...man this job really reminds me of IHOP...I was sent for groceries almost 3 times today (the only reason I didn`t need to go was because one of the places did not have what we want until tomorrow morning, which means I will have to brave the cold again tomorrow...-22, and including windchill -33). By the time I finished groceries my thighs are pretty much all rashed up from the cold...I have to start wearing 2 pairs of pants.
Today I met:
-Annie, one of the 3 people who works in cafe sofa. Therefore I met all the cafe sofa employees (not including the office people, which I am sure I will eventually). Like Aurelie, she pretty much only spoke to me in French.
Today I learnt:
-How to make cafe au lait, chocolate chaude, cafe viennoise, plus le croissant dore...
Learnt some French along the way...
Oh and I got off work and decided to deposit 2 cheques which I haven`t had the opportunity to do because there is no Bank of Montreal in Blind River...so went there today and prayed that either my French is good enough to do the job or someone there can speak some form of English...well neither of that happened and even though the money went into my account, the lady tried to explain in French that I will not get my money until March 19...which I understood no word of and after 3 minutes of blind confusion I figured out what`s going on...she gave me a bit of a scare...French + Bank = not good. Don`t you just love language barriers?
Oh yes last night the anglos finally got the first French class. The lady (Lucie Duval is her name) came over (thank god) and we had to write a multiple choice exam...I understood most of the exam but the last page on reading kind of stumped me...and after that Lucie got to know us in French (meaning we had to introduce ourselves in French). She is a really nice lady, and I think French class will be fun.
A bientot...Stephen is in the cafe right now with his laptop and he said dinner is at 5:30...it`s now 5:26 and we have meeting later.
About Me
- ~*A.n.G.e.L*~
- Well, I am from Vancouver, BC. I finished my first year of college in Capilano College, and did some grueling training this summer with heaping rewards at the end. I am currently doing Katimavik, a 9 month volunteering program where I live with 10 other strange people from all over Canada and we travel to 3 different cities/towns in the country and do volunteer work and "find ourselves". It's interesting. Our group is 34102 - Blind River (Nov - Feb), Alma (Feb - May), then Castlegar (May - Aug). After that it's more schooling for me...
