Potatoes, Potatoes, Potatoes

Yesterday was a PD day at the school, so there were no students. The four of us, Pier Marc, Cynthia, Frédérique and myself went anyways, to set up for a wedding that is happening today. They have a really nice "Multi-Purpose Room" there that is used quite often for weddings and other special events. We started out just placing chairs at all the tables that were set up already, and then Fred and Cynthia continued with table settings and things like that while Pier Marc and I went to help in the kitchen. I have never seen so many potatoes in my life. We had two 50-lb bags of huge, dirty potatoes to peel. We only ended up having to do about 75 lbs of them, but still; that's a LOT of potatoes. I guess it's been really rainy here this year, because a ton of the potatoes had these rotten spots in the middles that we had to cut out, which come from when the growing season is really wet.

Today, we've got the morning free. I went for a run and now I'm working on this. I've been running on the Confederation trail, which is a pathway that goes all across Prince Edward Island. It's really quite boring and monotonous. I mentioned to some of the students that I've been helping out that I run there in the mornings and they just kind of looked at me, adn then one of them told me that people have been killed and gone missing while walking alone on it. Pfft. Whatever.

At 1 we're all meeting up to do some kind of contract-ey thing...I can't remember what it's about though. Tonight, we're going to all have a game of soccer together then, as our weekly "second-language" activity, we're gonna translate songs from english to french and vice-versa.

Tomorrow morning, we've got free time again and in the afternoon we're going to a POTATO MUSEUM!!! And a wool museum or farm or something. It's pretty exciting, I'm not gonna lie.
