Week 2

Aldready another week passed. This week went by very quickly for me because i was sick and so i slept in pretty much every free time i had. I had class as usual on every morning. On monday afternoon, we had a meeting about cultural night. We are putting up a show for tomorow with small groups of people demonstrating something from their culture. Our group is doing something in a sugar shack. They discovered my talent of playing spoons so thats probably what I'm gonna do in the show. It's a good thing i practiced almost every New Year's Eve with my sister when we we're young.
Tuesday was the first workshop. I had dance for the first week, but that day I only did the warm up and the stretching and Iwatched for the rest of the workshop. I was too low on energy to do more. The next day, I didn't even go to the workshop, or the meeting for cultural night, or the outside pool. I slept from 1h30 to 6h pm and after supper I did some homeworks. That helped a lot!! I was feeling a lot better the next morning even if I still needed some rest.
On thursday, we visited the historic Craigdarroch Castle. Anyone that knows me a little knows that with just hearing the word castle, I was really eager to go see it!! Well.... it was horribly boring. It's more a manor than a castle and it was from the 19th century. I seem to like my castles better when they are in ruins...
Anyways, on friday we went to Goldstream Park. Now that was way more fun! We saw that nice little waterfall and a nature house. It was a really short trip but still pretty interesting. I'm really glad i got to go there.
Yesterday, saturday, it was Butchart Gardens. It was definitly not worth 25$. I went because my family told me that it was a beautiful place and something not to miss, but it really wasn't all that great. It was just too rushed and too crowded. You had to stop every 3 steps because someone was talking a picture, but then you fell bad when you want to take one because you block the way and everything. I guess I like more natural stuff too. I also like to take my time and to be at peace in a garden like that.
Today is kayaking day. It's in a few hours so I'll tell you about it another time.

See ya
