Here we go again...

I know I start almsot every blog like this, but yesterday and today were really good days! Yesterday morning I went to the gym for a run, and in the afternoon I went skating with Julie and her friend Catherine in the shopping mall. I was a little bit nervous, but it was such a splendid afternoon! We joked around a lot, and I had so many good little conversations (yes, there were animal noises involved!) It was so good. I felt like I progressed so much, and i did what I have been trying so hard to do : I put myself out there. I took risks, and they payed off! I was really happy and proud, and I know everyone at home would be proud of me too!
Last night, I made me room a little bit more... me. In my room at home I have so many little motivational and self-esteem boosting things everywhere. Last night I made about 20 little motivational post-its and put them all over my room! I finally feel at home!
Today I went to the gym for the morning to cross train. Did 10 miles on the bike! Now, I just got home from the Twilight movie. All together, this is my fourth time seeing it, but my first time in french! It was weird, because the voices were so different, but it was neat, and considering I pretty much have the book memorized, I understood a lot!
Tonight I leave for the Cadet Games for the weekend. Besides the fact that I have to wear my uniform (kill me now, please.) I am actually kind of looking forward to this weekend! Unlike last weekend, there is a goal and a purpose to the weekend. Friday and Sunday are the opening and closing parades, in which Im in the band, so that will be fun. Saturday is the actual games, in which I am playing soccer outside, and there is a huge dance in the evening. This schedule is a lot more appealing to me than last weekends, 'lets stick these kids outside for 40 hours and see how much fun they have!' I know the people a lot better, and there will be a lot more time this weekend for socializing, which will be good for me. I have a really good feeling about this weekend. I know with time things will fall into place, and I think that is starting to happen! Friends and conversations are coming a lot easier, I have a routine I am happy with, and I love Quebec city and the family I am staying with! I couldn't ask for much more, and I am having such a magnificent time here!!

Happy.
Carly.
