Sooo. Sledding

Lol yesterday was sooo fun!!

A group of 5 of us went out in the snow in the morning before the meeting of whos going and who cant because of snow. And one guy took his snowboard so we used it as a sled and half unsucessfully slid down the icey roads! hahaha


It was soo funny! Mostly we all went tragically straight for the cutter because there wasnt any stering lol.

Iv decided, that all pics will go on facebook, and this might just be my blog? Please comment and say what you think about that? I mean is that a hastle for anyone? Lol

Ok so yesterday we also got to our placement.. Finally second time lucky! Although 5 more mins and we wouldve missed the train as with all the volunteers trainging out there was loads of bags, and Tara's was on of the last. But she got it in time and we made it :)

We were both very suprised to find that there was snow, only a little. but theres snow here! Hahaha

All the people we have met have been really nice and really rather excited that we are the new "gapers" lol. Apparently there is another girl coming through a different prgram from NZ, but she'd still waiting on paperwork.

So we got to our rooms and put our stuff in them. And met some of the others living up here with us, who are all really nice people :) We then had dinner with some of the children downstairs in the dinning hall.
It was an experience i must say. But everyone children and workers where all happy to meet us and everything :) It was great

This morning, Tara and i woke at like 9:30 haha. And had some breaky and went to see Sue the deputy who showed us all around the school. Its so big! Its never ending! And i can see myself getting very lost haha

After that we went to Ter... the supermarket to look at phones for Tara but she couldnt buy any yet because we dont have our bank accounts until a bit later. But we had a look. When we got back, i was delighted to see Madeline talking to Sue :)
We had a cup of tea with her upstairs and she offered to take us to dinner, which we gladly accepted. Madeline said she'd come back and get us in about an hour.

We then sat in the lounge with Yana (not positive on the spelling) and Dave and had a good talk to them, and iv decided that we dont get British music... its all American, because i knew none of the songs on the British tv hits show lol

Dinner was reallllly nice, i had a great time and Tara was all praise :) and we are going to Madeline and Charles house for lunch on Sunday :) Im looking forward to it :)


When Tara and i got back we sat with the other boarding staff in the lounge and watched The Hangover. Funniest movie. Really good quality laughter haha

Im off to bed soon. Miss you all. Hope the heat isnt to bad!

Love Vic xx

Ps sorry about the two days in one haha
