So yesterday the international students had a free trip to Niagara Falls!! We left Brock at 10am on a couple of those yellow school buses you see in films and I was surprised that its really not that far away! When we got there we were just told that we could go off and do whatever we wanted as long as we were back at the buses by 1pm. I was with friends from Keele, Sabrina, Laurel and Jess and we went straight to the Maid of the Mist boats! The falls were amazing we got really good views from the top of cliffs and again whilst we were making our way down to the boats. I never seen anything that big before it was unreal! Especially when we got on the boats and got so close. Before we got on we were given these blue poncho raincoats and how we needed them! We got absolutely soaked from the spray - still got some great pictures though. After the boat tour we just wandered around the area looking in shops, got some lunch. Then at 1pm we got the buses and went to Niagara on the Lake, which from what I saw was just a little town... not really sure why we went there but it was a really nice place :) we bought ice creams and I got sun burn :(
Today was Brock's annual residence games. My housemates and I got all face-painted up and had to dress in green for Village Residence. Was SO SO SO hot and I got more sun burn :/ but was really good. We didn't stay til the end though because the heat was just getting too much. There were games there with inflatables, waterballoon toss, relay races. Every residence had their own colours and everyone kept talking about TEAM SPIRIT.... was a really Canadian afternoon....
Afterwards, Sabrina and I went to the Mall and got caught in a storm coming back... got soaked again. Right now its 19:32 and I'm sitting in bed watching this week's Doctor Who for the THIRD time.... yes, it was that good. :)
