Getting Settled

I arrived in Regina last Tuesday at 6pm and wasn't too thrilled with the weather! That morning I was in Bangkok which was a beautiful 28 degrees and Regina was a not-so-pleasant -56! It was quite a shock to my system but I was glad to be home at any rate.

My trip was so amazing! I never thought I would be able to do so many cool things, like climbing the Sydney Bridge, petting a koala bear and riding an elephant! I saw many beautiful beaches and coastlines and got a good tan. I absolutely love swimming and there is nothing like swimming in the ocean. I also had a really great time visiting my friend Andriana and became really good friends with her friends and family. In fact, it was really hard to leave Australia. Thailand was beautiful though. I especially loved the fresh fruit and the gorgeous flowers that were everywhere. We had a great time shopping for knock-offs and getting Thai massages and pedicures on the beach. We also went on a safari where we almost got attacked by monkeys! It was such a fantastic trip, just the right mixture of relaxing and sight-seeing.


Now I have been back to work for almost a week and am starting to get settled. It took me a good four days to get over my jet-lag and start sleeping through the night. Luckily, there are lots of things to keep me busy at work to keep my mind off the cold weather!


UR Connected! for grade 10 and 11s is approaching very quickly and will take place the afternoon of March 12. I am on the entertainment committee, among other things, and that is exciting. We are brainstroming fun games we can play and maybe even some bands to play! An important part of the day is the career session portion where different people talk about why they enjoy their careers and the education and training that led them there. If you are in Grade 10 or 11 you can register now: http://www.uregina.ca/newstudent/knowur/urconnected.shtml
