Sunshine, running, good coffee and blueberry pancakes! (and slugs, too!)

TGFW! Thank God for Weekends!

Now, let's put things in perspective. I really do love my job! It's a great group of people who are all working tirelessly to provide the best education we can to our students. But, in all honesty, it's absolutely exhausting right now!

So, on this Sunday morning, I have spent the past few weekend days relaxing, and being ''off'' mentally and physically.

Friday night we went out with the staff. It was quite lovely, but I'm still getting used to the price of beer here! It's pretty unreal! Thank God my tolerance is moderate! A few of us stayed until the very end and got delicious food afterwards ( I got falafel) and it was great, because post-going out food is porbably one of my favourite parts of going out!

Yesterday the weather was OK. It ended up storming in the afternoon,so that cancelled my plans to go out and buy more ''teacher'' clothes. I got caught up on a lot of my catching up with family, and got to speak to my parents, grandparents, aunt, cousin, brother and his friends, who were very obviously so thrilled to hear my voice that they were speechless!

I just went for a pretty intense run. I took a new path and ended up running uphill. I did end up at a beautiful lake, so I stayed and stretched a few extra minutes.
The best/worst part of running is trying to avoid stepping on slugs! YUCK! Next time I'll bring my camera to take some photos!

So now it's time to finish making my blueberry pancakes :)
I love it here, but I keep getting more and more excited for coming home. . . .only four short months! hahaha

P.S
Look what I stumbled upon in one of the grocery stores here! Maple Joe! Product of Canada! Mmmm real Canadian maple syrup! Heavenly.



(Now all I need is to find tofu and BBQ chips and I'm set!)
