Good Morning and Good Evening

Hello all that might be reading this even if its just one person...hello
Its been about 2 and a half weeks that I have been here now. Days are starting to go by much faster now. Soon it will be 3 weeks then a month that will have gone by.

My birthday was last week. It was a very packed day. It started off with prayer at St. Giles, an 800 year old church. Then breakfast at Copper, a cafe on the avenue. Then off to the city with Emily, where we shopped and had wonderful Indian food at TamaTanga. Had dinner with the hosts, then off to ice skating with students from Trentside. Then a night of trivia at a pub, and a very cold drive home (-3c) in a convertible with the top down. Good Day!

I have been walking a lot, most places, which is great. I also live across from the park so I can go when ever I want. I walk to Davids house which is a good 20 min, on a cold day that sure wakes you up. I can walk into the city but I haven't yet, it takes about 45 min.

I have met tons of kids so far, all very unique and different. I don't even know then well yet, but I'm excited for the next few months. FYI* I am not allowed to put photos up online of students so don't expect any.

I have so many wonderful meals at my host, they definitely feed me well. It about the first week they had me try minced pie, Christmas cake, and Christmas pudding. I have also had bangers and mash, fish and chips, parsnips, brussel sprouts, cottage pie, custard and more that I can't remember at the moment.

This not that:
Crisps not chips
chips not fries
trousers not pants
sweets not candy
Half past ten not ten-thirty

fun words:
Brilliant (good, great) example: "that cake was brilliant"
Proper (correct way) example: "I like the proper clock better than the digital"
