oooon tour =): bitterly coooooold =)

this week i wasn't lazy at all...

on last tuesday we had a speaking exam with our school manager =)
my roomy natalia was my speaking partner and we did very well.
we also decorated the christmas tree unfortunately our teacher couldn't find popcorn without butter. so we had to decorate the tree without popcorns. =(

then on wednesday was our big day. the real speaking exam was on the program.
we had to wait in a class room until our names were called and then we could go an show off with our speaking knowledge =)
fortunately i was in the first group. and what a coincidence, natalia was my speaking partner =) we had a lot of fun during the speaking =)
that evening we wanted to go to ceilis... but like always the line up was sooooo long that we didn't go.
so we stayed at home and had our own home party =)

on thursday we only were 5 students at school =)
so we chilled out more or less the whole day :P
in the last lesson we went to Blenz coffee to enjoy a great caramel latte =)

a day later on friday, was our graduation =)
which was great =) but also sad.
i am not leaving tamwood but i will miss my class so much.
my classmates were the best which you could have wished. (ken plan öb de satz richtig isch :P )
after school, pili and me went to grouse mountain with some other students =)
it was sooooooo coooold up there =) even though it was great. for the first time in canada i have seen snow =) that made me so happy, because i really miss the snow and i was told that we won't have any snow here downtown =(
so we rented skates and went ice skating on the frozen pond =)
as when our toe's were frozen we changed our skates with our boots and walked to the beaver tail stand =) where we enjoyed a hot cider and a beaver tails. :P
soorry i can't explain what it was like, but it was really delicious. yammy yammy =)
after a few hours we took the gondola back to the valley :P
it seemed that we were lucky because the bus was waiting there and was supposed to leave in a few seconds, but unfortunately pili and me hadn't had enough coins to pay the ticket and they don't accept bills. so we had to go to starbucks to break a bill...
but the bus driver was sooooo rude and drove away. so we had to wait an hour only because we didn't had 2.50 in coins right then.

the whole week we have had beautiful weather with sunshine everyday.
soooo we took advantage of this weather and went to capilano on saturday.
in capilano is the suspension bridge and a little rain forrest =)
it was amazing. =) have a look at my pictures =)

on sunday was the santa claus parade.
it wasn't very weihnachtlich... =) more advertisement than christmas. andere länder andere sitten :P
but to keep a swiss tradition i baked some "grittibänz" for my roomies and me =)

yesterday we stayed the whole day at home and "studied" =) haha... we tried to... :P
in the evening we were invited to have dinner with the host family of Philipp another swiss student. they cooked some really delicious swiss food =)
i felt like home =) it was great.

today we went to a few job fairs. it's soooo hard to find a job here. i didn't expect it to be soo hard. i hope we will find something soon.

as you may know tomorrow is our big CAE exam, the written papers.
=) so i will let you know how it was ;)

have a nice day =)
