Back in Schedule

Greetings from the chilly Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Life out in the West is okay. I'm in my office at the Museum of Western Development, where Hu Song and I will be working for the next three months. It's a pretty cool place - and all the staff members are really nice. Our job duties include painting back-drops, working in the gift shop, cleaning artifacts, and helping construct an exhibit. Right now we are currently taking a break from setting up Christmas decorations.

My host mom's name is Christina, she is a single mom with a one-year-old baby, but the baby is not living with us right now. There is a big custody battle going on, but she should be home soon. I don't have any experience with babies, especially babies from Saskatchewan, but I think it will be okay. On the weekend she will be taking us to Regina for Agribition, which is some sort of rodeo (I think). Unfortunately we do not have a dog... Heh, but I think I will be doing some extra volunteer work at the humane society, so that's okay. My dog Beau is the only thing I miss from home ^^

In my spare time, although I really don't have much of it, I have been going to the YMCA with a few of my friends to work out or play sports. I've also been reading a lot, lately. Now I know why my mom was always so keen on getting me to go to the library... It's a pretty cool place.

Okay, time to get back to work. I'll talk you all later!
