I really like it here so far and its not too cold either. Church was nice yesterday, and my roommates seem fun. My house is cute and my bedroom is orange : ) We walked down to the river yesterday, and took some nice pictures of downtown which is just across the river. Gorgeous. Today, I just relaxed most of the day. I was watching Corner Gas to try to catch on to the Canadian culture. Around 3, I went on a run to the river. I tried to run across the U of A campus, but got trapped behind some construction and the boy who gave me directions got me more stuck. When I got to the river, I ran down a muddy hill into the park. I decided I wanted to touch the river...a silly plan at best. The hill was steep and covered with leaves, but slippery/muddy underneath. Nevertheless, I made it to the river after falling and getting quite muddy, especially my shoes. Also, the banks were covered in snow. It was very pretty. I'll go back sometime, but it was a little long for a daily run. The job hunt begins tomorrow, so wish me luck. Love, Marie
