Sorry for the lack of posts!!

Hello everyone!

We've made it through our second week of internship... it's been crazy busy and somewhat overwhelming, so please forgive us for not posting all week (though we haven't had much to say anyway, besides complain about how tired we are)! S had to give a presentation last night (and he did a super job!) despite hating presentations with every fiber in his body - so we're particularly tired today. To quote S, "presentations are for weenies!"

At least it's finally the weekend!! We are going to read SO MUCH HUNGER GAMES (book 2)!!!!!! On a related note, S is legitimately disappointed in the lack of teen angst thus far. K agrees that there is less than expected... but there's usually a pretty hilarious angsty paragraph every few chapters or so. (S might be missing some of them because apparently K's voice is a sleep drug for him.) One of the best ones yet, paraphrased: "I know I love Gale... but what kind of love is it?? I don't know! But I can't think about that! I have to start a rebellion! Why do all boys love me?! AHHHGHGHGHHHH woe is me!!!" We are currently debating whether we will go see the movie soon at the regular theatre, or wait till it comes to the cheap cinema near by. Huge life decision, obviously.

On Monday evening, we had an actual "night on the town" (sans Subway)! We ventured out on our chauffeur service to the Bushwakker Brewpub, where Monday night is Jazz night. PLUS, it's wings-and-a-pint night! So, we listened to some nice music while scarfing down hot wings and a HUMUNGOUS pile of fries. Overall, good times - we will definitely be going back.

On our way to Bushwakker, we had a funny experience: as we were getting off the bus, S says "merci" (in his cute anglophone French accent) to the bus driver... apparently you can take the man out of Montreal, but you can't take Montreal out of the man! Needless to say, the bus driver had a good chuckle and so did K.

The next evening, Jazz music came to us at the mansion!! There was some sort of performance in the lobby of the mansion by a group called the Jazz Band-its (best. name. ever.)! Speaking of the mansion, we don't know how we're ever going to go back to not having our own cleaning service. Life's rough.

Tonight, as we ate a healthy balanced meal of perogies (and baby carrots) for supper, we played a bit of Trivial Pursuit that we found in the mansion's library... You know a game is old when the answer to a question is "West" Germany! (FYI, this version of the game was from 1981.)

The weather is supposed to be super nice this weekend, so hopefully we can do some more exploring of our beautiful area (not sarcasm)... maybe we'll actually make it the whole way around the lake.... or, at the very least, read some Hunger Games on a park bench! :p
