Thanksgiving weekend for Canada.

Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven't been able to post in a while, I've been bonding a lot more with my roommates one on one. I honestly couldn't have asked for more amazing people to share this experience with, like I said in the beginning when I got here we all connected right away. We have done some much together since day one. We try new things together, work out together, and really care about each other's lives and whats going on with them.

The past two weeks I have been so occupied with school, doing things with my roommates or skyping with my family and the time is really flying by. And for the past two weeks I have also been a little down. So much has been going on with me,with  me being so far from home and still getting use to the fact I am really here and missing my family. But I have gathered my thoughts and everything and I am better now, I just got a little homesick thats all. Now that this semester is in full swing I already feel like the time is really going to slip and I am loving and enjoying every minute of it. I have something due every week and focusing on that alone the week to week is going to go by very quickly.

Other than that this past weekend was a little interesting. It was Canada/UNBC's Thanksgiving weekend-break and to me it was just a three day weekend. It was a little strange to hear my professors on Friday say, "Have a Happy Thanksgiving break." I was like it is not Thanksgiving it's barley October? It was kind of funny to me, but I just hanged out with a few new friends of mine. All but one of them were from over seas, two are from Germany, the other from England and then from Toronto. We spent friday night out at Shane lake (the one by UNBC), and we built a fire and just got to know eachother. It was an awesome night. Then the rest of the weekend I cleaned my dorm, was lazy for a while, and watched movies, not too bad of a weekend.

I don't know this post was going to be everywhere, it was hard to explain and express everything that I want to say. But I'm going to try and not wait weeks until my next post. So until then take care!
