Settling In

Hello Everyone,

I've started to settle in, but i'm still feeling the effects of Jet Lag. So far i've just been getting aquainted with the town and cleaning my new place.

My House-mates in the other flat are awesome (Dan and Jess), they've shown us the ropes and the area, given us great advice and pointers and been super friendly. I also wanted to put it out there that I'm happy with my own room mates as well. I'm sure that we will have our issues, debates, and arguements, however, I know that we will work through them. I couldn't have asked for better roomies.

I will be putting up pictures once I have settled and making more frequent blog posts once I get the internet(which may be a few more weeks).

On a side note: I find it very interesting that whenever we walk into a room or talk outloud in public, people look at us funny. I think Canadian people are somewhat of a rarity here.

I am also noticing how the culture here seems less fast paced than Canada.
I also thought I'd never say that I miss the 24 hour sobey's; and I feel a little dirty when I say "I wish they had a walmart here..."

I am doing well, Oh and if you send me a message I should get back to you within a day because the school has internet.

Cheers,

Alex
