Ok, time for a (very overdue) update!

2 weeks does fly by! I'm settling into my various courses and despite my unkind timetable (starting at 8.30 every morning and labs 4 afternoons a week) I'm enjoying it.

Most of my money so far has not been spent on alcohol (shock!) but on planning my various trips. Last weekend I had a great day out in Toronto with some of the other English exchange students. This week I am trying to stay on top of my work because on Friday-Sunday I'm going canoeing in Algonquin National Park with the Outdoors Club. Algonquin is supposed to be beautiful in the Fall (Autumn to the rest of us) and the only way to really explore it is by river/on foot.

In 3 weeks I am going to spend Thanksgiving with my wonderful cousins in Ottawa, The two youngest of which I haven't met yet! And of course Barnaby and I are still planning our trip to Quebec City in November for Skate Canada :D !!!

Other activities, I have joined the Hamilton Cathedral Choir and the McMaster Choir and have bought a bike and a pair of ice skates to further divert me from my studies.

Best Wishes to everyone back home, particularly those starting/ returning to uni. Missing you all (but not too much!) xxxxxx
