My group

The first thing I should tell you is about is my group.

Heavenly, known to us as LyLy, is from Gatineau, QB. She has a hard time understanding and speaking English, so sometimes she says some pretty ridiculous things. She is fun to have around and is my work buddy for this first a Trimester and she dresses somewhat emo/goth. But we love her to bits so we don't care.

Brigitte, is from somewhere near Quebec City, QB. She speaks English very well and is also very cool to hang out with. She's very down to earth and a good person to talk to. She helps me with my french and makes sure I know how to pronounce the swear words I might need.

Jean-Sol is from Quebec City. His English is also very good so he and I talk in both French and English and have some secret French jokes that go over the other Anglophones' heads. He and I make up the Second Language coomittee for this Trimester and have to organise some French activities.

Courtney is from near Edmonton, AB. She is the hippie of the house and is totally nice. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body. We talk about her trip to the Netherlands and how things are going in the house and ways to improve them. We are constantly laughing and hug attacking eachother.

Jamie, from Toronto, ON, is very opinionated, which is what I love most about her. She voices her opinions in a way that respects others while still getting her point across. She and I talk a lot about Marineland (mostly just singing the theme song...) and compare Montreal to Toronto. We bonded quite fast and she and I are tight.

Nicole...my ROOMY! She hails from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (I spelt that just to show you I can...impressive, eh?) We have so much in common from our time spent in the Prairies to the way we were raised. She has been there for me during the whole time. We have so many discussions and stories to tell eachother...she's just amazing. We are also we tight.

Alex is from Vancouver, BC (Surrey? Suray? Suree? I don't know how to spell it. Bbut I know it sounds like Sir-eee) His brain comes up with so many ideas that his mouth can't keep up. In other words he's very random. But he is also Philisophocal and can make a whole room of strangers laugh in less than 10 minutes. He keeps the house full of smiles. Everyone loves Alex.

Stephen is from Grand Bay, NB. He is pretty awesome. We are housemanagers right now and doing an amazing job. I'm trying to teach him how to cook, but you know some boys. He's great to hang out with and talk to and loves curd cheese.

Troy is from North Bay, ON and is socially awkward, which goes fine in our household considering we have a goth, a jock, a hippie, a clown, a farm-kid, a city-kid and me, a camp counsellor. He is one of a kind. And he loves my cooking! Yay! And I didn't even need to brain wash him. :D

We had another participant, but she, unfortunately, dropped out because the program wasn't right for her. We miss her, but if she hadn't dropped out, I wouldn't have switched rooms and would have never gotten to know Nicole the way I did. I found the silver lining.
