Two weeks from now I’ll be at home!

Today we went to Port Royal and Grand-Pré. Port Royal was a trading post or the harbour where Champlain landed (the tour guide spoke in French, so I basically jsut stood there. I had no idea what was going on).

Then we went to Grand-Pré. Grand-Pré was so interesting. I felt really bad because I didn’t know anything about The Great Upheaval. It’s not included in the school curriculum, so it feels like only Acadia’s know about what happened. (To find out more, Google “The Great Upheaval”). It opened a whole big can of worms in my mind about the government (mainly Saskatchewan, but my friend from BC hadn’t been taught about it either) and what they teach us. It was really a shame. Canada’s history isn’t as squeaky clean as they teach us in school.

I had lots of fun at Halloween last night, but I didn’t stay ling because a) I had to get up early because the bus left for Port Royal at 8am and b) my dress was a little small (but looked great) and it was difficult to breathe in. Which isn’t the best thing for dancing. So I went to bed, and slept on the bus both there and back.  Tonight is Casino night, and I am going to go and stay for the whole time, damn it!! I haven’t done that yet. So I’m not going to have another nap beforehand or I’ll never get to sleep tonight.
