News?

Today was my third day of temping and I was offered a temporary job! Its not official but its close to "home" and it would only be for three months. I've been there two days already and they have two girls going on some long holidays/honeymoons coming up. The owner is going to call the temping agency and they can sort everything out. Hopefully I have some full time work soon, I think I'll sleep better knowing that I won't get a call between 7:30am-10am the following morning telling me where to go in this gigantic city. I'm not great at winging things. Especially directions! I will never ever ask a woman for directions again. Or people on the bus. Always ask the bus driver. Just some tips for you from my hard lessons learned.

We're having a difficult time with our internet cap. Colin figured out today that we can use 190MB a day or else we'll be charged a crazy fee for going over! A girl in his class got a $300 bill for exceeding her limit. I don't know the quantity she went over but it sounds like it wasn't by more than 1 GB. YIKES!

Its been raining A LOT here the last couple of days. The humidity is killing me. I hereby swear to never complain about the weather in Canada ever again. God bless our big, beautiful and temperate country. And if you ever hear me say "I miss Australia" you have permission to slap me.

This is sort of rambly. I mostly just wanted to post a trivia picture for you all. Also, I'm waiting for Colin to finish his readings so we can do something FUN!

This is called "Find the Canadian"




And we're proud of our pasty skin color. I hope we return home as pale as we came.
We miss you all. Especially YOU!
