Hey guys!!!!
well, im starting my travelblog cos Layla wants to be kept up to dat eon my life, so unfortunatley the rest of u will b 2!!!! mwahahaha!!
Ok, so the first few weeks have gone soooo quickly, can't believe iv been here for so long!! ok, so u all know by now tha i hav met a canadian mountie. i have also bee to a native maerican reserve, which was relly cool nd got to make my own dreamcatcher. iv been to parliament, which has a mini big ben outside, which was really strange, but thas britich colonists for u!!
moving in was crazy, im on the 14th foor of a 15 floor building!!! the uni has 40,000 students which is ALOT more than at Keele! The view from my window is really pretty, its not like im looking out over a city, the capital of Canda!! there are sooo many trees, not like london at all!! iv tried to make my room as homely as possible, but wot can u do with only 2 suitcases full of stuff!!! hehe
the first week i went on a pep rally, which was aimed at first years, so
i was a fresher for a week, well it is my first year at this uni!!! it was amazing, 100's of ppl chanting and singing, then we headed off to a canadian football match (which is apparently different from an amercan football match), tha was pretty kool as iv never been to one b4, then we went to a log cabin for a party, they had loads of alcohol, bands and bbq, I also got to ride on a yellow skwl bus for the first time ever, i was sooo excited nd no1 cud understnad y. At the end of tha wk, there was also a street party, where there was more alcohol, bands nd bbq!!! got very drunk and argued with a police officer (definitely a trend starting there i think!!!). anyway freshers week here is a huge thing, unlike back in Keele, there was lots of organised , activities and lots nd lots of free stuff. me lik free stuff!!!!!!
There is this club that we went to called Barrymore's (nothing to do with michael), and they had a nite with all eighties music nd played footloose and the goonies in these big screens. They also had
a big bubble machine, which was really cool!!! the clubs nd bars here are all free to get in which is really cool, nd they are alot more strict with ID, or am i just tooo used to seeing 15 year olds in blisters??!!??!?!
studying here is really strange, but am enjoying the experience, am definitely ore motivated than i was at keele!! lets hope tha stays with me wen i get bak!!! iv also been to a proper house party(a cegger) , with a ceg nd plastic cups!! this week end i went whale watching nd for a tour of quebec!!! we went whale watching inn tadoussac, a small village in quebec province, we stayed a hostel there, where they gave us a taster of seal, which is like beef but alot more salty, alos ate it raw, which had the texture of jelly (strange). But, the place was a really hippy place, with all these old men smoking weed, nd realy strong weed!!!!! they had their own bar there nd had a band playing, country music, which seems to be quite popular out here!!! saw lots nd lots of whales, it was amazing!!!! there was minke whales,
which were like 20ft long nd they came soooo close to the boats, i jumped a mile nd neraly fell over board!!! the beluga whales were the best though, they weree soooo white nd were swimming rite underneath the boat,but im too slow with the camera to get any really gud pic's!!!! i bought one a brought it home with me though. the best thing aboiut going on the boat was dressing up like an idiot in a rain suit, its soo cold that i had 6 layers of clothes on, i was sooo fat i couldnt move my arms!!!!!!
the tour of quebec city was also really amazing, got to see al the historical places and did all the really touristy things, also went out to this club, ehich from the outside looks like a small castle, inside they had a band playing on the first floor, dance music (yuk!!) on the second floor, nd the third floor was for ppl to perv on the ppl on the second floor!!!! the band were really gud though!!! i am also amazed how cheap alcohol is here, the british stuff is epensive, but the Bud is ony £1.75 a bottle!!!
tha will do me just fine. i find it weird tha they have carling over here, one of the boys i know really likes strongbow????!?!?!?
ok, i apologise for the length of this, if u got all the way to the end, congratulations!!! i will try to keep the other ones shorter, if i ever write another one!!! hope, u guys are al having an amazing time at keele nd arent missing me to much, if u r then make a cut-out of me nd put it in the corner!!!! i will b partying with u in spirirt!! hahaha!!! nd all u other guys who have just gone to uni, hope ur having an amazing time, make the most of it before all the work starts to pile up!!!! I have also included pictures of some of my friends for all of those who doubted that i had any!!!!!
cya all soon
