So the big elephant of an exciting thing, was that somehow i forgot to tell you all that I saw a real proper mountie :D :D :D all in red with the boots and the hat and everything :D
I really wish i could have taken a picture, but I think it would have been very obvious, and since i think they were just going home, rather rude - but i shall get a picture at some point. Promise.
Secondly, Mount Seymour is opening earlier than they had hoped. It opens tomorrow - yay! The Lessons Desk isn't opening til Saturday, but still, means my first shift is on Sunday and there after I have proper regualr work :D (And a free ski pass :D :D ) Tres excitement. It will be so good to start working. Beats trying to occupy yourself while spending as little money as possible.
That said, I have found one productive way of spending time. I've been volunteering at a Language Centre nearby, being a conversation partner from various Japanese and Korean students who are here learning English. Part of me thinks that there are possibly more worthy causes to volunteer for, but this is quite good fun, and might give me an insight as to whether tefl-y jobs are something i might like to do. Maybe I'll pick up other things later...
Anywayz, hopefully next time i write i can tell you all about my first day and maybe take some pictures up the mountain - there''s a stunning view of Vancouver from up there, and on a clear day you can also see the rather impressive Moutn Baker, which is in Washington state in the USA :D
