Hello again everyone!
I have not blogged in quite
some time but a lot has happened, so I will fill you in.
The winter term wrapped
up at the start of April and my exams went well and I passed all my classes so
I guess I cannot complain. I had about a
week off before I started my spring term, which was a little weird because I
have never had school in the summer but it was a smooth transition. Mostly just
hung out with friends that week and then took a quick trip with my mom and my
grandma to Sterling Heights, Michigan to do a little shopping. Target was good
to me this trip. I got a bunch of long
skirts and some other warm weather clothes that will be good for this summer
here in Canada and then the next eight months in Botswana.
If you have never been
to Sterling Heights, you have never experienced the road system there. This might
be an interest to all my Planning friends out there but the roads are pretty
confusing. Essentially you cannot make any left turns on the main road, instead
you have to pass the store you want to go to and then make this organized
U-turn and then backtrack back to where you want to go. I have always been
curious why they did it this way. Maybe it is better for the environment? I am
not sure. If you know anything about this I would like for you to let me know.
A day or two after I got
back from the States, it was back to school for me. This term all the people in
my program (there are about 30 of us) are living in St. Paul’s, this is where I
have lived for the last 8 months although I am no longer a don any more. It was very nice to see all my friends again
and I got to keep my own room which was nice. When we came back the 4C International
Development Students were back from their overseas placements, so they could
share some of their knowledge with us. I learned lots of interesting facts from
Sarah and Dana who spent the last eight months in Botswana. It made me very
excited but also made me realize that there is still a lot I have to do before
September.
I had only a few
nights back in Waterloo before I had to pack up my summer clothes because my family
and I were going on a DISNEY CRUISE!!! This
was an amazing trip and I will tell you more about it and put some pictures up
in the next few days.
Thanks for reading!
