So it's been a week since I left home, and wow it could be pretty overwhelming! The first day was scary... being alone in a new new place... waiting for the bus I had missed! Thank goodness for the lil angel Ms. H, without you I'd have been so lonely! The day was actually fun going to Vee Lounge and having a good night. Since then there have been no tears just new experiences!
My School is a big school... 2300 students with almost 400 staff! I am not sure which grade Math I am teaching but soon we will figure it out! I am interested with all the talk on behaviour issues with the kids acting up... but like hopefully my first year teaching will be a positive experience. Living alone is interesting ... I really feel like I am living on residence of UTM!
The malls- Avenues, 360, Alcout are amazing! The super markets are filled with everything I'd find in Toronto. The culture shock was not so much ... maybe because I was prepared for it. Not exactly sure!
So to the main point... to all my loved lollys in T.dot and around the world ... I miss you! Parents + nan + loudu- Muah. Canim thanks for being the first person I spoke to since coming here! Poppy I love you. H you are awesome.. keep me in the loop with all the happenings and the tech! S you always understand me. R thanks for the cooking tips! Kedi thanks for keeping a subtle eye!
The funniest part of my first week is that I was someone who refused to cook, who said I'll find guy who would cook for me... but here I am... cooking for myself! Turns out I am pretty good at it too :P At least so far I've only had success with the cooking :D
Woot Woot!
So cheers to new beginnings! New friendships and great memories!
Buildings lit up always!
Cooking for the first time!
