Weekend

Since leaving school friday afternoon, things have definitely slowed down.  It has been a quiet and relaxing weekend so far... which is nice after a busy week with the kids!   Friday night Rosalie and I just hung around the apartment and watched a movie (Australia).  Then on saturday I slept in past 9, which was soo nice!  I still had some sleep to catch up on from the long journey to get up here!   We spent the rest of the day doing odd jobs around the apartment: I did a load of laudry, read my book, and made a few phone calls home to talk to Jenn and Dad.  It was so nice to catch up with them and share some of my stories so far!  That night we had a yummy supper: Rosalie made a fresh loaf of bread in her breadmaker and cleaned & cooked a big fish for us.  I was skeptical at first, but it was actually really good!   Today we are planning to head out for a walk.  It is a beautiful day (rumoured to reach +2) and Saku (the husky dog) is getting restless.  She wants to go run in the snow and visit her friends down the road!  It will be nice to get outside for a bit and see what everyone is up to!  Then it will be time to give mom a call, and then start getting things ready for week 2!  I was talking to the teachers in the staff room on friday about what they do on the weekends.  Apparently playing card games is the most popular passtime.  They also sometimes enjoy getting together and playing songs on the guitar.  I plan to stop in sometime soon to visit and participate myself.
