Head in the Clouds

As the title suggests, today I was more than happy admiring the clouds.

C'est beau, non?

I woke up early to ensure that I had time to get coffee before class. After successfully filling my mug, I headed to class for four hours of learning. My first class was with my head teacher and the second was a new class- Correction phonetique- where we practiced pronunciation and nuances of the language. I think I will really like that class. My teacher was really enthusiastic too.

After class I allowed myself another nap and then went to a meeting with the other UNO students. We received our tickets today for all of the activities we signed up for which was great! My first 'excursion' is this Sunday to the Jacques-Cartier Park! It's a hiking trip with some of the best views (I haven't been told this for sure but I'm just guessing it will be) in all of the Canadian countryside! After our meeting, we ventured back to the mall to buy bus passes- we finally found the right spot and were mostly successful purchasing our passes. I tried to buy a monthly pass but didn't have enough cash so I tried to pay with my VISA. However, the man told me VISA wasn't accepted. I was understandably shocked. How can a company have a slogan promoting that they are 'everywhere' I want to be and then not be there?! Mind boggling. Anyway- I got a card with a 2 day pass that I will use wisely :)

My bus pass with an unfortunate looking photo of me...

The other excitement of the day was a result of finding the dollar store here!!!!! Such good fortune for us all. I finally bought a few staple items for cheap :) So overall, I am quite happy with the days happenings. Honestly, you win some you lose some- I won with the clouds and the dollar store, lost with my bus pass and accompanying photo. C'est la vie.

Oh! I almost forgot- I went to a free movie tonight in one of the school buildings. Bon Cop, Bad Cop was the name. It was funny and suspenseful at times, I liked it! It was good to relax for a little and practice listening to (and reading... subtitles) French in a fun setting.

That's all for today! I'll leave you with another cloud picture... enjoy!!
