I know that I've only been in Canada for three months or so, but I'm already planning my next trip! My excuse is that Carole needs someone to come visit her in Turkey and bring her winter clothes. Instead of spending a small fortune to fly to Nova
Scotia during Christmas peak times, I decided to go for a trip to Istanbul instead! And (because Carole needs a vacation too) we booked a side trip to Scandinavia. It was a toss up between that and Egypt, but we decided to go for the Christmas-y option! We'll spend a few days in Copenhagen, Denmark then take the train to Stockholm, Sweden. On the way back we'll have a night in Riga,
Latvia. Both Copenhagen and Stockholm have outdoor Christmas markets and special Christmas traditions and food. We'll even be in Sweden for St. Lucia day!!!
But, more practically, life is going well here in Edmonton. I'm very happy in my cozy 9
th floor apartment with two great (quiet, clean & nice) roommates. I've only had a week of classes, but I'm already busy. My TA job takes up a lot of my focus: tonight I'm working on learning outcomes for a grade 11 assessment for English Language Arts. How would you compare and contrast Romeo and Paris in
Romeo and Juliet? Most of it is just re-typing things, but I actually have to think up an answer for that one. I'll freely admit my dependence on Spark Notes!
