Saturday my two roomies-to-be and I went paint shopping. We sort of knew what we wanted for colors, but you know how they have hundreds of shades of the same color… yeah. So it took a little while. I really didn’t know what color to paint my room and I felt like leaving it white. It’d be cheaper! But we already had a 45% off on our paint and the landlord is going to pay with us so my roomies pushed me to paint my room. I seriously didn’t care about the paint color so I told them we should take the left over from the different colors we’re using for the different rooms (we’ve got… 4 different colors in all) in MY room. Esther had the idea of painting STRIPES! So depending on how much paint will be left and what color, my room will have white, blue, green, yellow and orange stipes… Very colorful eh.

Saturday night I went to my dad’s church to bring something there. When I came back the metro stopped at Villa-Maria and wouldn’t leave the station anymore. There was an accident on the orange line somewhere. After three different messages, the actual operator took the mic and told us to “Allez en surface, évacuez” (Go ‘in surface’, evacuate). Ok then. Dozens and dozens and dozens of people evacuated (is that a word?) the metro station and we all waited in line for bus 24 that was going to lead us… somewhere. Finally the bus came and it was packed. It was not going in the direction I needed to go, but eh there was nothing else I could do for a free ride. When we were around McGill metro I recognized the area and so got out and took te metro from there to St-Henri. Oh by that time, the metro was working again. So instead of getting home in 30 minutes, it took about 1:30.

Hello! So here’s my new tag.
You can imagine how proud I am to wear it.
Today I spent my first four hours at Value Village. I read stuff for about two hours and then I helped out putting clothes on hangers. Very fun I must say. Hmm. I’m being sarcastic here. Oh yeah, did I tell you? I work at Value Village now. I don’t like to say that. It sounds too… humble. People are all very nice to me. I’m looking forward to the time I’ll know how everything works though.
