Howdy hoy!
That is a greeting of my own design. It is a mixture os several existing greetings. I left my last journal on for AGES because of a very funny story that Helen wrote up about Ebonyh STEALING my parents car and driving it illegally and coercing Daniel to drive it illegally. For shame for shame.
I have had a very good week. Not in the least because I have been excitedly waiting for Helen to arrive. 4 sleeps to go! Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayyyayyayayayaayayayayayayayayayayyayayayayyayayayayayayayayayayayayyayaya.
I worked all of this week at the Language college. I taught the advanced class and it was very fun. We were looking at Mysteries for the week so I got them to watch 'The Maltese Falcon'. It was a very good movie but they had a lot of trouble following it because the American accent in 1941 was quite different to the American accent now. I chose an old movie so no one would get offended by the content, but one of the muslim girls kept looking away everytime someone kissed on screen. She left halfway throygh. I felt really bad. The next day I got eveeryone to teach each other a card game. They really enjoyed this and I was taught a very good magic tricks by one of the students. I will teach it to Helen and she can teach it to everyone else. It is great. On the last day we had a shared lunch and we got food from all over the world. My favorite thing was some spinich and cheese parcels from Libya. I brought zucchini slice which I have found is distinctly australian.
On Saturday it was Canada That means there were many canadian flags and people firing off fireworks. I went to a whole bunch of Ontarios provincial parks. THey were quite nice. We went canoing and I mas really nervous because every single time in my past I have gone canoing I have tipped the canoe. I forwarned everyone but managed to stay dry for the hour. It was actually really fun. I wnet with people who knew want they were doing. There was something called a J stroke that I was called. I was stroking away with visions of myself entering the avon descent... that'd be great.
We went to this lake that had a reconstruction of an indigenous camping ground. We went into a reconstructed long house and there were masses of animal furs. It was very cool. We also went on some walks... we went through a whole buch of caves and it was very pretty. Then we went to someones house for dinner. I brough more of zucchini slice.
I had rehearsals today. One of the guys told me of his plan to take over Canada and ban immigration, emigration and to fine everyone who flies a non-Canadian flag. I shuddered for the future. I worte a poem on the back of my script about how angry he made me. Ok. I am going back to doing my journal of Sunday nights.
Ok. I hope everyone has a great week. Thank you Mel for your lovely letter and gift. I hope jury duty passes quickly. Poeple can email me also if they want to converse. I am sick of having an empty inbox.
