Make sure when you run around outside at -30C weather, either don’t smile or keep smiling until you get inside or find yourself with smarting teeth! The other night, I parked in a stall that was relatively far from a building’s doors. Since the cold snap was still happening, I started to run towards the […]

Last night I got tickets to the hockey game from my dad who couldn’t go. Adam and I went and sat in pretty good seats. (last row of lower bowl) It was the first time Pronger was back in town after his request to transfer from Edmonton. The crowd was HARSH! Many people had signs […]

Winter Wonderland

This isn’t fog or smog, its a snowstorm. This morning I awoke to a beautiful snowfall with large, fluffy flakes. I love fluffy falling flakes! So pretty. The only drawback to having about 5cm of snowfall so far today is that the drive to work is very slow and sometimes dangerous. My all Season tires […]
Canadian Finals Rodeo Pics

(Doesn’t Ange look great in the cowgirl hat?!) Friday I went to the CFR with Angela and Adam. I don’t know why it took me so long to go but it’s pretty cool to see these cowboys ride. There was this team roping event that I’d never heard of where one rider ropes a calf […]

I met her while living in Melbourne and she’s still on the go! Currently in New Zealand and having a ball! Her blog has cool stories of living in the outback and coming across giant spiders and snakes in her room!
Devonport

Very lovely little suburb on the north shore of Auckland. I did a historical walking tour and included my own stops at the old Naval base and the extinct volcano, Mt. Victoria. Both provided excellent views of Auckland. There was a school group or something at the naval base playing some kind of game in […]
Homebase

is the name of the Houseshare that I’ve managed to get a room at. On Sunday I will move from a 2 person room to a 3 person room so that I can save 10.00 more dollars/week. I’ve got a signup at the recruitment agency tomorrow at 9:30am and then afterwards I’ll need to go […]
Orientation Day

THis morning my last roommate checked out of the room. It’s great that I have the whole 4 bunk room to myself now! I think it’s worth paying the extra 4.00 to have a private room temporarily than my new friends Arne and Connor are paying for a full room of 6 peoples. Bwah ha […]
