Just a quick update:

Hi Everybody!

I have spent this afternoon packing up my clothes (which seem to have greatly multiplied) and preparing to move to my second family on Monday.
While I know I am going to miss Laurie and Terry, who I am with now, I am also very excited because my next family has 5 children! That will definitely be an experience.

This weekend I will be going to another Rotary Camp, this time along with the soon-to-be outbound students. This weekend will be more of an information session so that we can tell the Canadian students a bit about what they will be experiencing this time next year. There will be a girl from this district going to the Auckland 9920 District in August, so I am very excited for her.

Over the past month I have caught the train  into Toronto twice, with different groups of exchange students, and I have had a lot of fun. The train trip in is around an hour, so we have found all sorts of ways to entertain ourselves, and I have learnt to say some rather 'interesting' things in German and Danish.

While the weather was really beautiful last week it seems to have taken a turn for the worst this week, and the temperatures have been all single digits with a lot of rain. Apparently this is normal spring weather though, and the sunshine earlier was too good to be true. But, not long until Summer...

In summer I will be taking a Rotary trip across Canada, leaving Burlington on the 20th of June, and not returning until the 20th of July. A lot of the students from my district will be going, as will many students from other districts, so I cannot wait to meet them. I was posted the itinerary a few days ago, and it looks very full on. Some of the many exciting things we will be doing include seeing the Calgary Stampede, and being in Ottawa for Canada Day!

Thanks so much,
Sarah.
