The Blog with No Title

Yes, I am that creative with headings.

Madames/Monsieurs/Sirs/Mams:

I do not have much to report with the latest events of our Katima-lives, other than:

1) We are finally starting to work on our presentations (no not our final presentation at the end of the month, although that we will have to worry about too later on). What it is for is actually for our volunteer work next Friday at Odyssée des Batisseurs for the whole day because they are holding a special event, and there will be a bunch of kids from elementary schools going to it. Our job: to introduce Canada (more specifically Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, BC, Nova Scotia) in different aspects (geography/music/dance/food) in a presentation format...we have 45 minutes. Our groups are divided this way:
- Cheryl/Mike/Valerie (I think Valerie is only helping because of Mike) - Geography
- Stephen/Cynthia/Stephanie - Music
- Rebecca/Zach/Maxime - Dance
- Angel/Charles - Food (naturally)

So far Charles and I are doing fine...we have decided to incoporate pictures and a puzzle (as in guessing puzzle) of the food, plus its origins. Mix it with a bit of verbal descriptions, and in the end we are serving Nanaimo bars to the kids, haha. But we donèt really have a lot of time, and there is a lot of work involved. However I am excited about this type of volunteer work, as it beats the usual type of volunteer work we have been doing for the last 5 months (serving seniors food) and it is relatively challenging...the deadlines and work make it feel like school, though...school, not too far away from the horizon. After this I better start working on it.

2) Cynthia - It seems like Cynthia and majority of the house have problems with each other. For example, Cynthia would give a comment that was considered ignorant/stereotypical, and certain people would...not so much as snap on her but respond back with a strong contradiction. Case in point - During current events last night, Zach presented a newspaper article about NDP politicians and how they want to pass a bill to create some form of national renewable resources sharing...and somehow I asked a question which lead to Cynthia saying "most politicians treat this event as a drinking party"...I laughed, but Zach immediately contradicted Cynthia by saying that she was stereotyping and he was sure there are politicians who take their job seriously. As well, Cynthiaès ugly monster of horror came out yesterday again when Maxime said she never received the Cynthiaès game plan, which got her very irritated and she spent a couple of minutes furiously looking for it in the lost and found box...I will elaborate on that subject at a later date.

Gotta work, ciao
