Location, Location

So I've been here for a month officially today!!! I cannot believe how much I've already learnt through the experience, the maturity I've faced, the realizations I've come to, the amount of friends I miss back home, the amazing mail I've already recieved and the amount of fun I'm having. I feel so lucky to be living the dream I've had for the past year. I want to make the best out of my experience because I am so grateful for it.
I however have not posted any pictures of my job or the inside of the house so I have a few.

This is what usually goes on after our activities at night. Our room is pretty much the 2nd most popular group chill spot besides the living room. :P

This is my bunk bed, I'm on the top. After Carlin has got the top bunk when we've had the oppertunity I was like NO! I dibs top for once in my life. Zoe sleeps below me.

And its not as if I have the oppertunity to miss all my closet space from back home because I have just as much room for the most part. The whole closet there is just my stuff. Ahahaha.

This is the private desk I've been so kindly given and this is where the magic happens. Writing newspaper articles, doing paperwork, the usual.

This is the youth centre that is open for a safe environment to hangout in weekdays 3-6.

And this is the view out of my window. And it just happens to be snowing. No big.
Last night since our group competency is healthy living, and regardless because you always have to excerise, our activity was Man Hunt in the park near by. I some how end up being the first one caught, or the tagger so I've been accepting my fate. We decided to up our scare factor because running around in a park is not scary enough and had a little fun with the face paint that was randomly in the Katima-house.


After we came in everyone looked like they went through a major breakup and had mascara-like streaks running down their faces because it started raining. And yeh, I was the tag, and yeh the 2nd round I got caught first. Aha
And I guess we were all extremely tired out afterwards, especially our resident sleepy head Ryan, so I took advantage of it and had a human pillow, LOL

And since its our 72 starting later today and I'm going to PG and won't be around till later on Mon, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. I'm so grateful for all of my friends and family and my experiences and the new people I live with who already feel like a family. Have an awesome holidays!!
I will leave my mother this little bit of inspiration as well, the fall colours here are nice and this bush is so many different colours at the same time.
Love you guys!

    Vanderhoof is not too bad, but we are all so psyched for Quebec City. There is a group that's in Quebec City first and then coming to Vanderhoof. We're there over Christmas so we def got the best deal by far.
