(Published on stolen internet)
Day 1 in Quebec - Anyone who has tried to keep in touch with me through e-mail will know that I'm insufferably terrible at it. So in the interest of keeping in touch with all you fine people – I've decided to start a blog – or rather, I've decided to actually write in the blog that I created months ago but never wrote in.
The trip didn't start off so well – got to the airport just pass the luggage deadline (yeah first time for everything....) – much turbulence along the way – but all's well that ends well, the luggage arrived the same time I did in Quebec. Apparently, if my suitcase didn't arrive till later, they either deliver for free, or if I go pick it up, I get $100 flight credit with Westjet, which would've been useful for the trip home, though I'd rather get my luggage.
Having moved into my new room, pictures are of course a must, but seeing as I can't seem to get the stolen internet to upload pictures, I'll have to wait till a later date before I post them. I'll take a picture of the house one of these days when I get home from school (lest I freak out the home-stay people...). I've got me a little alcove room upstairs (I've always wanted one =P), kind of a cottage feel to the furniture – I am typing to you from what I've been informed is an old dressing table that belonged to the landlady's mother-in-law, completely w/ silver-backed mirror and brushes on the countertop. It's cute, I like it. (The double bed is also a plus for me =P) I'm 20 mins bus ride away from Laval University – which come to think of it is almost the distance from my house to SFU – the neighbourhood is pretty similar too actually.
As of now, I have no internet – but I think this is the language barrier's doing, either that or the landlady has no idea how to get me connected. I'm doing this on MS Word, otherwise, I'd definitely not be able to keep up this blog thing. As it were, I'm passing my first night watching "V for Vendetta" – in English =D
The weather in Quebec is rainy – has been so for 4 days and expected to remain so for the weekend. Enjoy the sunshine Vancouver!
