I am in La Pocatière, Québec (a small town 1.5 hours away from Québec City) for 5 weeks doing a French immersion program. (http://www.myexplore.ca)
On Wednesday, my mom, her bf Larry and I drove to Sault Ste. Marie and stayed at my grandma's house until Friday morning. Friday morning drove to Ottawa -- we arrived around 8:30pm and decided to walk around downtown. We ate at the Hard Rock Café and went to some little shops on the street. Saturday morning (today) we went to Centre Rideau which is a really nice mall in Ottawa. I bought some things from La Senza and MAC and also bought a dress for our "graduation ceremony" at the end of the program. After shopping around 12pm, we left for Québec City and arrived around 5:30ish. My mom and Larry settled into their hotel room and then we drove to La Pocatière. The campus is basically divided into 2 parts: the Collège (where activities, classes and stuff take place) and the Cégep (residence). I'm staying on the 7th floor (girls and guys are on separate floors). Tomorrow there is brunch from 10am-12pm, then orientation at 1:30 (I have to find out where it is), then at 9pm we have a floor meeting. I'm actually kind of nervous for this program... I can hear people outside my room speaking French so perfectly and it's kind of intimidating. I think I'm pretty good at French since I've been taking French class for 13 years but my oral expression is not very good. I think I'm going to take a shower now so I don't have to wake up early tomorrow to take one before brunch. I'll post pictures later.
A bien tôt!
