I got up early as I realised that everyone was going to work and I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to anyone. So I got up at 8 and said goodbye to Curt and N-loth and watched TV for a while until Marie came down. I packed my things and waited fro D-loth to appear which he never did so I never got to say goodbye and thank him for the use of his bed as he had been sleeping in the basement. Marie, SY and I went to The Mint which was very interesting. It was all about the how they make the money- they make money for 75 different countries and I learnt that 10c is a dime, 5c is a nickel, $1 is a loonie and $2 is a toonie. After an ... read more

We went to Viva for lunch which is a Vietnamese restaurant which is ridiculously cheap and exceedingly tasty. We had springs roll and then a dish of noodles, lettuce,soup and meat and the peanut butter sauce was super tasty. We packed some things and end for the lake which was just over an hour drive on the most straight, flat and wide roads ever. The cabin was beautiful and reminded me of when I went camping when I was younger. Marie, Curt, Marie's mum Mamay and her sister Jeanne and her husband were there. We had taken some beer and wine so we cracked open a beer and relaxed and watched the black hawks vs San Jose. We strolled down to the lake which was about an 8 minute walk. The lake was massive and the ... read more

We headed out about lunch time and set off for an hour odd drive up to Narcisse. There were 4 snakes dens on a 3 km walk so we walked round and there were a few in the first den so we carried on to den 2 where there were loads. We were able to pick one up which was weird as you forgot you were holding them if they didn't move. It felt like rubber and I was fine holding it until it started moving, I was scared of being bitten but it was fine!!We all held it except for Anoja as she was to scared. We carried on to den 3 and 4 where there were no snakes unfortunately. We went back to the car and as it was about 29/30c we blasted the ... read more

I relaxed at Ajs and waited for SY to come round. SY went and got beer and pizza and we played rock band for a while and waited for AJ to finish work. We all went for dinner at Earls and met SYs brother Nick aka N-loth. We went back to AJs and pre drank and then went to the block party (happens at someones house at the end of every block) This party was insane- you paid $20 to get in and you could eat and drink as much as you wanted. There were redbull girls walking around giving out free redbulls and the bartenders were the lecturers from med school who were great. There were about 40 odd pizzas ordered which were great and then in the basement there was a proper DJ. It ... read more

Got up so late and when I came down Kayla had brought round poutine and chicken sandwiches from KFC. They were really nice but not after being awake for 10 seconds. Once AJ and I were both ready we headed to St Vital Mall where we shopped around for a bit and I tried my first Booster Juice which I absolutely loved. We waited for Ashan to finish work and then went home, we watched TV for a while and then went to Kyles’ house for a fire. It was really nice sitting round a small bonfire with Kyle, AJ, Alex and Kylie. AJ had only got one bag of wood because Alex had said that, so we ended up burning Kyles’ recycling bin. Due to which we discovered half a phone book in a clump ... read more
