This is from the very first snow of winter here! It was really pretty...
On the last weekend of November, we went to Halifax. One place we went was the Discovery Center, which had a pretty sweet display about bubbles. We weren't exactly the target audience of the Center, but we enjoyed ourselves all the same.
On Saturday night in Halifax, Melina and Krista and I went to an adorable little Japanese restaurant that we found. I tried sushi for the first time! (No fish in it...but it's a start at least.)
Here's the group, just before leaving on Sunday morning, on Mat's back deck. He's from Halifax so we stayed with his family while we were there.
The following weekend was our 48 hour break. Like I wrote about earlier, Cynthia and I went to get some piercings while waiting for the bus in Summerside. This is the first one I got...
...And the second (it's called a rook piercing...and I have never experienced pain like that before. Shiiiza.)
We spent our 48 hours off in Charlottetown...this was taken on Saturday afternoon while I was waiting impatiently for my mom's flight to get in.
Christmas time! We cut down a tree a few weeks ago and some people gave us decorations for it...
This is the group picture that one of the local newspapers published with a story about us. I look like a giant tool. Alberton must think I am avery unattractive person. In all the pictures we've had taken of our group, something goes wrong with my face....
This is Mariah, one of the students at the French school that I worked with, and I on one of the last days at the school before Christmas break.
Myself, Mariah and Cynthia...
This is the grade 1 and 2 class that I spent part of my mornings with. They were an awesome group of kids!
On the 20th, we had our Santa's Workshop Fundraiser. We were raising money for Oxfam, partly with a bake sale that I did most of the baking for...
And that's all! I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Also, I hope someone actually looks at this. Ahaha. That would make me happy.

I love the pictures! I have to admit though, the rook piercing looks painful. I showed Tom and he just said "ouch". I keep trying to get him to read your blog, but the only thing he reads is Maxim lol
I'm assuming you decided to stay with the program? I give you credit for doing it. I remember going away to school in Quebec when I was 18 for about 6 weeks and I was so homesick...until the last week, then I didn't want to leave!
Keep writing and I'll keep reading!
What cute little kids that you had. I hope you didn't abuse them tooo much!
