Katima-Supper w/ the Edmonton + St. Albert groups!

So a little while ago, I found this blog http://katimameg.blogspot.com . I really liked it and read it until the very end where I realized that she was in Edmonton with her group... right now!! I commented on her post and gave her my email and Meaghan replied and invited me to supper at the Edmonton Katima house! Meaghan was super friendly and eager to answer my questions and her group was very friendly and welcoming as well. They made Shepard's Pie and we ate downstairs in their dysfunctional kitchen and made the food in the functional one. We sat around the eclectic tables and chairs and ate our meal. I think I'm going to see a lot of things of eclectic nature during this program which is sweet. (: All the French participants spoke English very well, and talked with me too which was nice. They had tons of stories which just makes me expect a good time from it all. After supper the St. Albert group came and they were pretty cool too. I baked them all cookies, which yeah did seem kinda hokey... but they spread and ate them like wildfire so either they were being super nice, or the cookies were tasty. (: Overall I had a really good night and I'm lucky because I don't think a lot of people get the chance to spend the evening with two Katima groups in a Katima house before they go on the program. I'm kinda proud of myself that I took that step and took the initiative to try and meet Katimavik participants in Edmonton. When you put it into perspective, I went to a house I've never been to before, alone, to meet 10 strangers. Aahaha, yes my mom told me never to talk to strangers, this time she told me to go for it.
