I made it!

I have arrived in Canada for my Winter adventure. Classes start tomorrow, but there aren't many people around yet. It's been snowing since I arrived yesterday. I've seen at least 4 inches of snow accumulate on my windowsil since this morning.

Today I wondered around campus in their crazy network of tunnels that connect all the buildings trying to find all the the places I need to go tomorrow. I have to say, the tunnels are a nice way to get around. It's been pretty brutal the few times I've been outside. The current outdoor temperature is -8°C (that's about 18°F). I'm getting the hang of those conversions. The tunnels are lined with murals painted by the different floors of each Residence Hall. They are all pretty creative and most of them are pretty funny.

Classes start tomorrow and I've got several errands to do on campus plus a couple of orientations. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday I will catch the bus and take a look around Ottawa.

  2. I want to post a comment too so that you have two comments from Kristins! :)
    I am enjoying reading the blog. We are expecting really cold weather tomorrow and Friday, like teens and 20's, but I know that doesn't compare to what you are experiencing.
    Keep writing - I love reading what you're doing. :)
    Stay warm!!
