I don’t know where to start, but here’s blog #1 today. Mitchell (my placement buddy) and I, with Natalie, went to the waterfront and saw the blue nose off the bat. It was pretty cool, and we also touched the Atlantic Ocean for the first time! It was cold, but a pretty good experience. We saw ferries and we saw a “battleship” while we were at it! We also went to Peace by Chocolate, it’s a chocolate store from Syria, saw new places, Mitch and I were astonished, mesmerized, plus I was really warm the first day, we couldn’t stop sweating.

Blog #2, it’s our second day here, and I slept so long, which was weird. We also went to Peggy’s Cove to see new things, we went with Michelle, Cadence and Rebecca. We were all amazed, and we took so many pictures. It was Cadence and my dream to go here; we were overjoyed about it. The view was honestly amazing – we couldn’t stop smiling about it! After that, we went home, and I played games to chill. We saw cool old-school cars and modern supercars; our jaws dropped out of amazement.

Blog #3 once upon a day we had a lazy day cause it was a Sunday lol, it was also rainy so we didn’t know what to do, easy day honestly, actually felt rested and relaxed, me and Mitch also did the dishes, also had a self-care day, I couldn’t wait for what’s to come tomorrow, think this is it for the day, I’ll come back tomorrow!

Blog #4 eeeee so excited for today!!! Our first Monday here!! Our first day as volunteers, and so we also made plans for what we’re gonna do for the next few days, SEEING MARISA TOMORROW!!! I CAN’T WAITTT, AHHHH, but today was fun overall. Mitch and I watched a show called North of North, and it had a lot of drama. Natalie went to her son’s baseball game, and Mitch and I took care of the house, getting used to waking up early.

Hey, today’s day 5 for blogging. Today at work, I had fun sorting flashcards. I saw Marisa! Anikan and Mackenzie, too, and we went ziplining! It was so much fun. I myself went to the Halifax shopping centre, bought things with my personal money, and we also went to McDonald’s. We had fries and a drink. We also saw a Corvette (which is my dream car), a Mustang, and a Tesla. It was really warm cause I was wearing all black. Today, I missed my Cousin (Peyton) and some of my friends from Iqaluit, too, but overall, it was fun! I also went roller skating and went biking at the oval!

#6 Today, I went shopping and thrifting with my buddy, saved some money, and it was a fun day. However, I woke up feeling sluggish and went to bed like a zombie. Today, Mitch, Natalie, and I saw a Lamborghini in person; it was really cool.

Today marks blog #7. During lunch, I visited the Halifax Shopping Centre and Dollarama, where I bought a few things as usual. Thought of Ryan today, had lunch after work, we went thrifting. I really enjoyed today, the weather was cool too, which I was happy about. We also did some inventory at work; it was fun, but confusing for me, as I got mixed up here and there. I really admired the weather; sometimes I would think, ‘How would the people see me?’ Some would think of me as a bad influence, or someone they can look up to and rely on, who was really thinking about life, but ultimately moved past it; that’s all for the whole thing. P.S. Joey Simonie, take care!
