Days 26-28
Okay, so I haven’t blogged in a while so I’ll just push the whole weekend together into one post.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 1
Friday was the 50s Soriee. After diner Jill and I hung out at Michaela’s room and pre-partied, made fun of people who are annoying (Qu’est-ce que tu fais? HAHAHA) and I drew on Michaela (she asked me to, don’t worry 
) The actual soriee was pretty boring, so we went to the different res parties instead.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 2
I went canoeing at 10am. That was fun. Then I came back and met up with Jill and Michaela again. Later on M & I fell asleep on the grass outside the residences after supper. Then I heard some very familier, very ENGLISH music. Some girl had put on ‘What Is Love’ by the Haddaways and was pumping it through her iPod speakers and started to dance to it. There were about 4 profs/animateurs standing outside one of the residences. They just looked at each other and were like ‘WTF??’ and the chick got an advertissment. She was either really dumb or did it on purpose. Which is dumb.
After that incident we went to the Café Bric-a-Brac and played tile Rummy with a girl from M’s res, and then went back to her res to play some more cards and pig out on chips. J & M went to the soriees (there were two) while I went to bed, because the Haute-Mer was at 8am the next morning.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 (aka today)
Whale-watching at 8am. It was really cold out on the ocean, but I did see some whales and seals. I didn’t get any pictures of the whales because they move too goddamn fast, but I did get a video and some pictures of the seals. Then I fell asleep on the boat (the cabin was nice and warm). I was so hungry when we left that the whole time I had a stomachache because I needed food in my belly. So when I got to the cafeteria I gobbled down some food. Then I went to the labo, then here.
My weekend was very entertaining.
5 days left!

Day 20
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.
