Goosebay!

So its been about a week and a half since weve been here and I think I can say that we are all settled in. The work partner tours and itnerviews are done, people have worked their first week of work (which can i say was fucking long as shit) but im glad they are over. A lot has happened of course of the past week or so such as oreintation things, figuring out new positions for KCC meetings, job placements, volunteering, just everything. We even had a tour of North West River the other community about 30 mins away where the st.B people well now NWR people are staying. NRW is beautifulllll but super tiny but Goosebay is awesome too. The only thing that sucks is that everything is so sparse and a long ass walk. Everyone gets rides to work which isnt far but most placements are in the valley. I work at the Labrador Friendship Centre which has a hostel, youth programs, seniors program, just a whole bunch of things and so much happening so I am always running around doing eveyrhting really. The first few days I was training on reception and I learnt it in about 10 mintues so they put me by myself there and everyone was shocked so I basically covered for the secretarys sick day off. First week work was fun, I work with Spencer Mondays and Tuesdays and he works at Birch Brook the rest of the days.

This weekend we were helping out with a marathon and we marshalled and directed traffic. Last night we had to build old fashion labrador tents out of 8 foot poles we cut down in a forest earlier this week. Each tent had a stove in them with a pipe going out and it was pretty cool. The tent we had had bear skin on the ground it was pretty neat but we had to stay there during the night to do nightshift secruity so nobody ruins the tents and shit. Tomorrow were going to NWR to the other Katimavik house for a huge thanksgiving dinner, all we have to bring isthe turkey and stuffing oh and gravy but im sooooo glad im not hosue manager for that lol Aidan had to make 10 loaves of bread just for the stuffing alone! But yeaaaah the week after this one im hosue managing with Spencer which is siiiiiiccckk!

For KCC i was in activities commitee and not on council but this time around im in languages and im chair person! the head of everything! it was between lowen and I and I won by one vote it was a suppppperrrr close call but i was so surprised i won but im glad anyways :)

hjmmmmm what else to sayyyy uhhhhh just livin the life, our house is wayyyyy smaller only one floor we used to have 3 floors and so much room but the only place to go is on the deck or living really but its a newer hosue which is nice but its cozy i like it. I like the town and everything, theres a hgue difference between labrador and newfoundland for sure but overall im liking it bigggg time! a lot of people here are oringally from newfoundland so thats really nice

so far our journey here has just stared and weve been busy everyday doing different things but i like how that is so its not boring. Today we volunteered but the rest of the day we have off since like 1:30pm so its nice to have a break. ohhh and theres a timmys, subway, a&w and actually things here so its nice :) thats all for now but ill be back with more when i get more
