Bonjour! Well, well, well… How is everyone doing? I think everyone must be feeling very tired or at a loss for things to say. I have had my fewest comments since I started my trip. I guess my life is not that exciting right at the moment. But never fear! It shall soon excite itself up again. Whoops I just checked and have a whole swag of comments. Everyone is awesome. A really long one from Helen. Longer than my actual journal. Plus comments for my photographs. Very nice. It was nice to hear from Lynn also. My journal has gone global.
Ok. My week has been pretty good. This week was my last one at school. I felt a bit sad. The kids made me a card which was very nice. I taught them Science – Light was the topic and on the back of the card was a giant lightbulb with ROY G BIV written around it. It was very sweet.
This whole week I did talks with all the classes about Australia. I asked some of the classes what they new about Australia to start off and one of the year 3’s said it was wear all of the poor people lived. I laughed and said that she was a bit mistaken. I met her mother afterwards and she said that her daughter said this lady from some other place talked to them. She said she couldn’t remember where I was from but no poor people lived there. Children requested my lamington recipe. They couldn’t remember what they were called though so a few kids just asked for my ‘Tim Bit’ recipe. Get Kylie to explain Tim Bits to you, they’re just doughnut holes you get from Tim Hortons but they are very popular.
I went to one of the mothers from the schools house for dinner this week. She and her husband are going to Sydney for 8 months so they asked me a lot of questions. It was really good to talk about Australia.
I went and did the costumes for Midsummer yesterday. That was really fun. The cast is all teenagers so they were very happy to meet me. Australians are cool. One of the girls told me that some of the words I said sounded a bit Canadian. I don’t think I sound too Canadian. Maybe I am forgetting how to talk. I know the Canadian accent sounds normal now. When I see an Australian on tv they sound like they have a strong accent.
Ok. His was a bit of a boring week. The best bit about my journal is the comments. Mrs James had a good one a couple journals ago and Helen and Simon continually hit a high note week after week. Well done. My picture is cool. It is my reflection in the bus stop.
