Dear Readers,
I am definitely on an adventure that I would never have thought I would be on. After applying to Teachers College and being put on the waiting lists I was down and out until a friend told me of a school that was still looking to fill spots in June. I applied, was accepted and had basically one month to find a place to live, get police checks and the TB test. I made it except for the police check which will mean a trip home Labour Day weekend to get that.
Today just makes this experience seem not real. I never would have thought that I would live somewhere that would allow me the opportunity to cross paths with a black bear on my way to church. Yes you read that right...my first Sunday here by myself and I saw a black bear 2 blocks away from church. When I first saw it on the road I thought “man that’s a big dog...or maybe a wolf” but 2 seconds later as it realized a car was coming and started to move I noticed that it was a bear. Scared me a little bit to think that I was in immediate bear country and I wasn’t just watching a show on the discovery channel. And it probably didn’t help that just last week I saw a program about a lady who was obsessed with feeding bears and then they killed her.
After I passed the bear running through someone’s yard, I thought “what have I gotten myself into????” My car had better not break down on the way to church because I could end up being dinner! The trip home from church was uneventful and for that I am grateful. There is only so much I can handle in one day.
Love,
Katie

Oh the fun of the North! May I suggest that you not watch any more discovery channel for the remainder of your time there. We love you.
Always remember to have your cell phone charged...that way you can call for help if something happens to you car and then you don't have to get out.
