I'm going to try and keep this recap as brief as possible.
The weekend before last, we volunteered on Friday night at the haunted house down the street from our house and on Saturday, we helped out with a children's Halloween Festival. Both were a lot of fun, although I froze to death in the haunted house on the friday. Also, I don't think I'm very good at scaring people.
We saw a play on Sunday night about the Acadian Deportation, in french. This year is the 250th anniversary of the tradgedy, so there have been a lot of commemerative things happening for it. The four of us at the French school actually saw it again today, with the grade 5-12 students. Our house meeting from last week happened over the course of 4 sessions: Sunday afternoon, then Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. There was a massive amount of discussions about our frustrations, which is why it took so long. The previous week was pretty tense around the house....we were well into our "Storming" period, in Katima-words.
Wednsday night was Kyla's 18th birthday! Her and Lisa were House Managers so they made pizza and cake and stuff, and then we all played a game her family sent her..."Things In a Box". Pretty much the BEST GAME EVER. We play all the time now.
Thursday night saw the last part of our house meeting, and on friday, we spent the evening in Wellington with the other two Katima-groups for our Halloween celebrations - an 80's-themed night. Not gonna lie...it wasn't thaaat exciting. Mostly because we had to leave really, really early to drive back to Alberton. We didn't get egged on the drive at all though, which was nice. And our house was untouched too.
We didn't do a ton this weekend...we had a lot of free time, broken up only by a game of soccer, writing letters in French and the house meeting.
There's more to write about but I'll catch up later. The subjects are Lisa and Obama. Totally unrelated, though.

Erica! I miss you MORE than you can imagine!
So much so, that I would have actually eaten your vegetarian chili, if it meant seeing you.
And I wouldn't even try to sneak some beef into it =)
Everything around Calgary is pretty bland.
Literally.
It snowed last night. EW.
But it wasn't exactly cold, so it's all good..
This week's been pretty eventful though.
On Thursday last week, I found my friend Marie-Eve passed out in the smoke pit, and Chelsea and I drove her to the hospital.
I guess she's allergic to codeine, which is in Tylenol 3's, and she was trying to commit suicide.
She also took six Advil, two blue dolphin ecstasy pills, drank a quarter litre of Bacardi. Before she took four T3s.
So she's fine now, but when we called the school on the way to the hospital, Mr. McFarland decided that this doesn't deserve recognition for saving her life. Oh no. This calls for a threat of expulsion.
So because I missed the afternoon that day, I also missed half of my Chem final, and this resulted in my grade going from 93% to 79.4%.
I WAS SO MAD.
It's all good now though =)
I wrote it today.
WELL, before this drags on, just wanted to say hi, and I LOVED the picture you sent to dad and I. It's on my bulletin board.
XOXOX Julia <3
