Updates!

Hello hello, sorry for not update this blog, yes I know it's October but I have been having an amazing time here. In terms of Rotary I attended the oxford link weekend where all the scholars from all over who are coming to study in England met up for a weekend of fun and adventure.

In addition I travelled to the city of Windsor, and it was gorgeous, I have to say this whole country has been amazing, even with the rainy weather!! I have visited Hatfield house which is just gorgeous and has so much history to it. The people in my flat ( flatmates) are just amazing and we've been having a splendid time sightseeing. We went to London, Cambridge, Stonehenge and Bath, and we are leaving to go to Scotland for a few days. Such history.

I have been collecting patches of the cities that I visit as a small dedication and more so because they will fit in my luggage !! I have settled nicely in my dorm. I have my Canadian flag up and intend to have all the new people I met sign it before I head back to Canada. I still cannot believe it is October!!
Well I don't want to bore you too much with words so I have attached pictures!

Enjoy!

Updates!!

Tomorrow!!

So this is it, it's been a crazy and hectic few months trying to get organized and ready to go, but just a few more things to do ( packing wise) and we are ready to go!! Tonight is the recognition reception for all our volunteers who helped during windsor welcome week so I am very eager to attend tonight and then I head out later tomorrow on my 21st birthday!!

This is going to be a short post as my list of things to do is very large!

Can't wait will update when I get on the plane!

4 Days!

This is going to be a quick one, I am just in the midst of packing, my room is a mess... and I've been trying to juggle friends and family before I leave... it's been a crazy two weeks, and I think I will be more relaxed once the luggages are packed, weighed and ready to go! I sent in my deposits for my residence so I hope they get them before I leave and that my room is still being held! (cross your fingers for me!!)

Anyways it is getting late and tomorrow I will be finishing the last of the packing!
Whoever said packing was fun was severely mistaken.... haha

Cheers to a beautiful week!

6 Days!!

Our windsor welcome week passed so quickly, it feels like it did not even happen, but it did! The new memories I made and the new friends including the old, just made the week one to remember for a life time! I realized that I am leaving in 6 days, so now I am in packing mode and trying to organize everything and get ready to leave. This coming week is coming to be jammed packed with events and little stops here and there but I am looking forward to everything and I am ready to go!

Anyways back to packing as not even one luggage is ready yet!!

10 days!!

So I have been volunteering since the 5th of September, hence the lack of posts, but all of my paper work is in, and now I am just getting my packing list together, but it has been an intense few months preparing for everything and I still feel as if I am not leaving yet, there are still a few things to do before leaving but very minor things.

Volunteering has been helping me see my friends a lot and today I sang the national anthem for our welcome convocation we have for our first year students, and that was a very special moment. Then I went for lunch with some friends, and now I am just finishing up some paper work before I head to bed as I have  volunteering early tomorrow.

Heres to another great week!

14 days!!

So today hits the 2 week mark, and most of to do list is done to 5-6 items! After my blog post about the residence package it arrived that very day, so now just the drivers license. So now I am currently preparing the Residence package and making sure everything is in because I only have a limited time before I have to send it in to reserve my place.

So yesterday, I had plans with my friends to watch a disney movie that was airing on tv. I helped them at the frosh week training we had and then I went to work for a bit. After that my mom and sister drove me to my friends house and I walked in casually and went outside where they were. When I stepped outside my best friends had a sign up saying "FOR ALL THE THINGS WE'LL MISS" it was a surprise going away party! I was in complete shock! But they are amazing friends and I am going to miss them greatly.
We had a bbq, had some wonderful cake, celebrated my guy friends birthday as well as mine. I have to say I am very thankful for my friends! They got me a beautiful present and words cannot even begin to describe how special they are to me. So thanks again to the best friends in the world! You're one in a million!

So tomorrow marks the beginning of our welcome week so I am going to be very busy with that, but just wanted to give an update! CHEERS TO VOLUNTEERING!

2nd Rotary Visit

So yesterday I had the privilege of attending another Rotary meeting, with the District Governor and Assistant Governor at the Rotary Club of Amherstburg, and I had a great time! I really want to return to Amherstburg before I leave so I am trying to plan a day with my friends.

I ran a few errands, my International Identity Student Card arrived as well as my new health card, so now the only things I am waiting on is my residence package, and my updated drivers license!

And we have our upcoming Windsor Welcome Week starting on Sunday so I want to try and have a few things packed before then, because I am going to get rather busy with volunteering with that. So the countdown is 16 days! So two weeks in a bit, and I am still not in the zone to leave, but probably will be very soon!

Well I am currently at work, and I have started reading Eat, Pray, Love so I am going to get back to it!
