Remembrance Day

Hello,

These weeks are just going by too quick and the paper due dates are here and there and everywhere! It is just too crazy. I have been looking back at when I first got here till now and it still don't seem real to me. I know I keep saying this but it is true. Here is this native girl from a small reservation and town, just about wrapping up my degree and studying abroad in Canada. For me this is too surreal. I couldn't even imagine that I was going to college as it is and to made it this far and doing what I am doing now is unbelievable. I am just so grateful for getting this opportunity and chance to do this.

On other note, it is Veterans day back home and Remembrance day here in Canada. They are pretty much the same thing. We have no classes tomorrow because of Remembrance Day which is fine with me. I haven't had a break since the Thanksgiving here a month ago. So I will be working on papers tomorrow. Even though I dread doing papers, I am somewhat glad I have projects to do and keep me on my toes. I think that is what is making this time go by so much faster, just having dead lines.

I am having the time of my life right now but it seems the closer the days are coming to go home it seems like it is getting harder (at times.) The first two months I had this state of mind of doing everything I can and take it all in. And I did and still am but with the holidays coming up and just how long I have been here is getting  to me a little. I am anxious for these last few weeks. I miss my family, I miss my apartment, I miss my boyfriend, I miss NM weather, I miss my sweet nephews and their little hugs, I miss reading the temperature in Fahrenheit and I just miss my life. Don't get me wrong I love this and everything but when December 16 comes, it is going to be bittersweet. But any who till then I am still enjoying and taking in Prince George and UNBC!

This past Friday I finally went to a basketball game! And it was really awesome! Both the men and women won. It was really awesome to see their patriotism and hear a different national anthem. That was pretty cool to hear them and see them stand to the Canadian flag. But the game was good and the UNBC teams have some talent.

Well I will post to you all soon. Have a great week!

Jozie
