Je suis à Quebec...

Rien important est passé cette semaine. Le lundi je suis commencé travailler dans la université pour AIESEC et je suis alleé une autre fois au centre commercial. Comme je n’ai pas un bici je suis allée de pied et j’ai realizé: tout en Canada est très grand et loin. Bien, le mardi j’ai aussi travaillé tout le jour et après j’ai vu un film au cinema. Se s’appelait Amal et joue en India, je le recommends. Après il était temps d’aller bikehunting avec Carlos, le trainee de l’Ecuador. Malheureusement le bici était trop petit pour moi, mais peut-être le roommate de Carlos me va vendre son bici parce que va vivre en British Columbia. Le mercredi j’ai passé 8 heures avec installer des programmes dans mon ordinateur et j’étais furieuse après. J’ai aussi lavé mes vetements et fait mon valise pour aller à Quebec. A six heures nous avions un Potluck dans notre maison, comme la semaine passée et cette fois était le Potluck pour decir Au Revoir à Nilu, la fille de l’India. Je suis très triste qu’elle s’en va parce qu’elle est très agreeable et a une opionion interessante à beaucoup de sujets.

Après le Potluck on a pris le Greyhound à Toronto, ici on a pris Coach Canada à Montreal où nous sommes arrivés a 6:30 dans le matin et avec un autre bus nous sommes allés au Quebec. Tout le jour nous avons vu la ville, allée aux magasins et fait autres choses touristiques.

I will stop writing in French now. It’s a lot of fun, but my French has been better in the past and since I can’t be bothered to speak it here because I have such a hard time making a full working sentence and an even harder time decoding what the other person answers, I just speak English which also works fine. It’s really bad, because I should work on my French, but Canada is the wrong place for it. And since I am not used to having such a hard time speaking a foreign language, it annoys me a lot.
Writing in English I can also elaborate more on what we exactly did today. I tried ‘Poutine’, which is a Quebecois specialty, fries with gravy and cheese, and yes, it is as disgusting as it sounds. I would rather have ‘patat oorlog’. And I visited a Christmas Store. First one I’ve ever been to and of course I was amazed and had to stare and ‘oh’ at all the things that were there. I want to grow up very fast and have my own Christmas tree and buy a lot of stuff at the Christmas store to decorate it. Unfortunately the things there don’t really match my parent’s taste. I have also visited the Jade museum, to please my dear roommate Brett. The best thing there was that I was secretly charging my phone while staring at a lot of stones in weird shapes. I think ‘mystical creature’ was the description given in most of the cases, since it was not clear what was depicted. Later we met Andrea, a girl from AIESEC Victoria, which is on Vancouver Island.

Tonight we are staying in the university dormitories to go to a congress tomorrow afternoon. In the morning I will be working at the office of AIESEC here, since I won’t be in Guelph the whole next week and there is a lot to prepare for the next weeks. I will stay in Quebec and then travel from here to Montreal and stay there until next week Sunday. Nikolai is coming to the congress tomorrow as well and we will hang out after. It will be so good to see a familiar face and have someone to share all my evil thoughts with after such a long time!!! And I’ve had a lot of them recently :P. Also I can’t wait to be in another congress, since the last one was in may and that’s a very long time for me to go without congress. Though this one will probably not include crazily jumping around and dancing, since I don’t want to mess up my back again. We’ll see how this reasonable thought works out in practice.

A bientôt!
