For as long as I can remember I have wanted to travel across Canada, to see every province and every territory. In the spring when I accepted a job offer as an English Language Assistant in New Brunswick I decided I would not be flying over Canada's central provinces once more! I have never seen what is in between Alberta and Ontario from the ground; I've only seen it as a patchwork of fields out an airplane window.
I left Telegraph Cove yesterday afternoon and arrived home around midnight. I had a full day on the Coast to unpack and repack for the trip! My summer in Telegraph Cove was fabulous, and as this is my "Coast to Coast" blog I should try and post some of my adventures from Vancouver Island.
Thursday July 16th I will be heading out on an adventure across Canada with my father Cash and my brother Grayden. I want to post in this blog about we see and do as we travel the country! We don't have much of a plan or schedule besides leaving in the morning of the 16th on the ferry, and arriving in Quebec City for the evening of August 22nd for my 3-day training session.
As for a bit more information about my job... I'm not too sure! I will be living in Caraquet, New Brunswick, working at Polyvalente Louis-Mailloux high school, teaching English. The program is called Odyssey and is run through the Council of Ministers of Education, and Canadian Heritage. I think I'll be learning just as much, if not more, than my students as I try to pick my French language skills back up!
Anyways, I should get a good rest for day one of the trip! We'll try to add new posts as we go along, and please take a moment to comment so that the time spent on here feels more worthwhile :) Currently listening to Classified's Oh Canada and getting excited!
PS Anyone who knows how I "pack" should be proud of me for the minimal amount of stuff I'm hauling along - I should take a picture! I guess it helps that the apartment I will be living in in Caraquet is completely furnished!
One: I'm so sad I am missing out on this trip.
ReplyDeleteTwo: I don't even get a mention in this blog post? Ouch!
Three: You read enough peoples blogs or at least have them saves in your bookmark bar it's about time you did your own.
Four: As for a little about your job, umm I think you left out the most important part, YOU'LL BE LIIVNG SO CLOSE TO ME AND VICKY!
Five: Of course you would listen to Oh Canada. Pretty sure if it was us driving across that was all I would hear all the way and I might finally learn all the lyrics to the rap like you already have. Luckily I think your dad may have a bit more of a filter authority...after he learns all the lyrics. Bets on who learns them first, your dad or Grayden?
Six: You packed minimal? I notice this says minimal not light. What does that even mean Cassandra?
And finally seven: HAVE SO MUCH FUN, BE SAFE, ADVENTURE, THINK OF ME, AND SEE YOU SO SO SOON!!!!!!!
If we are ever driving together and you play Oh Canada by Classified, I will jump out of the moving car.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a blast! Love reading all about it so far :)
