Frenchness to the max!

So much has happened since the last update. Where to begin?

I guess I’ll start with the fine folks at the Atwater Market. A week and a half ago one of the girls I work with, Cynthia, was being asked by Ben (who works at the butcher shop) what she wanted for dinner and I got invited to come along and have dinner with Ben, Cynthia, her boyfriend Mathieu and his twin Max. I had a blast. It was my first time hanging out with francophone folks outside of work since I got here. The dinner was incredible, they are such a great group of people and I’m really glad I got to meet them. We had a lot of fun. It’s been pretty good for my french to boot. I’ve been hanging out with Ben quite a bit since then and he’s introduced me to more francophone friends. It’s been hard to find time for everyone and I’m quite drained these days, but it’s a good exhaustion so I don’t mind.

My other friends have become better friends and I’m really starting to feel at home with them. My friend Saf (Asaf, but I am lazy so I knock off a letter) helped me to get a job at the Bank of Montreal. He really pushed them to call me, which they did on Tuesday. I had a face to face interview today and was told afterwards that I have the job. I start on June 18th. Until then I’m still at the market. I’m going to miss working there and I don’t doubt I’ll be stopping by after work often once I’m gone.

I’m excited to be going home this weekend to see fambly and friends and to graduate and what not. Various things that I needed to do, I no longer need to do due to all the paperwork and opening of bank accounts with BMO. But several other events have been added to my list so I’m still going to be crazy busy while I’m there. It’ll be good to see everyone though.

Tomorrow’s another busy day, working from 9 to 2, then getting some new keys cut (I lost mine somewhere on Monday night during the course of Alex’s going away party… damn that boy!) and then packing for the weekend. What to wear for grad? It’s all gonna be covered by the gown anyway! Anywho, that’s what’s been up with me. I’ll try my best to keep this thing updated, but if I don’t, send me an angry email and I’ll get right on it. Stay well my lovelies! A+
