Hullo.

Many different types of news for this blog post.

Part the First- Employment. HOORAY. Money coming in. I got a job with Queens Walkhome, which is basically an on campus safety thing, where you walk people home when its dark/cold/wet/windy/unsafe. First shift tonight. Very excited. Can't get paid soon enough, very profligate week.

Part the Second-Academia. Turns out Canadian uni is way easier than England, averaging a lovely B even for stuff that was the sludge from my brain. Butttt way more stuff to hand in and exams in the next two weeks which is rubbish because

Part the Third- MUMMY AND DADDY ARE COMING TO VISIT. Yayyy  I love them, i love them I looooooove them. Its been two months since I saw them, and I'm not homesick because I never get home sick but I do miss my mum and my papi. They leave on Tuesday the 1st which is conincedentally when all my work kicks off. So expect to see me in my room eating a lot of biscuits in my dressing gown. Well to be honest I hope none of you do see me. And Blog prepare for lots of Hilary/ Steward anecdotes.

Part the FOURTH- Autumn/Impending HALLOWEEN. Halloween is gonna be a total bust for me, cos this weekend I got one of my epic superhangovers, which totally makes it sounds like a medical condition of which I have no control, but lets not lie it was the tequila shots. and the vodka, and the wine. and the cider.  This makes me drinking alchol to any level of drunkeness impossible for the next few weeks. So get ready to meet Sober Sindy Canada. Apart from maybe this tuesday because it's a friends birthday at the Spot. I cannot spot without the buffer of alcohol.  I am dressing up as Cleopatra, and Snow White. All about the new bob my friends. Shorter and Browner than its even been. I included Autumn in this post, because the weather is APALLLING, at least the leaves are pretty tho.


Thats the end. There is no part the Fifth, OR IS THERE?





no there isn't. Love you. xxx

Bad me

So someone told me off for my lazy blogging antics. I promise in the future to be better...
So NOW I'm in Canada how is it? Am I homesick? Do I have any friends?  Is it a massive cultural mind fuck?

Good. No. Yes. No. Now thats done. Kingston is pretty but small, but definately an upgrade from Warwick and Leamington Spa. ( City wise, not people wise. I still like you warwick friends don't worry) Overall Canadia is just very American, which I know I shouldn't say but it is.  Halls are pretty standard, lots of other international people. One thing is I do really need some Canadian friends, so far I have been in a little bubble of forignity.  My accent seems to be pretty exciting to both Canadians and forigen people alike. Turns out I am like ridicolously posh, which apparently allows me to get away with a lot of stuff and also brings a lot of questions. LIKE OMG YOU'RE FROM ENGLAND!

I just got back from Montreal for Thanksgiving which was pretty super awesome. Yeah, thats right I'm all Canadain and positive now.  Its such a cool city, and the weather was soooo good. I liked Old Montreal the best it was all continental and lovely.  Went out everynight and drank a lot of  sangria, which was pretty unCanadian of me, but also strangely delicious.  Also saw Eddie Izzard, nearly went up to him and got a picture, just for YOU JEN. ( I know you subscribed bbz)

Bye for now bbz,
Josephine

 P.S. I promise I will post once a week slash more if interesting stuff happens.

"I'm not going to squirt you guys,because you are like... from interesting countries"

SOOOO FROSH WEEK has begun. Its like the scariest thing in the world.

Just found this reminant of blog. Turns out I am very easily distracted from writing blog entries.
