She's involved with the music scene in town and you mentioned bringing your guitar up. She's also involved with the Greenhouse Society, something you might be interested in joining.<br /><br />Also, coming up next month is the Alianait Festival (http://www.alianait.ca/) and they are always looking for volunteers. Lots of cool things happen during that event and it's worth taking a look at.<br /><br />There's the Mass Registration, but that's not until September, and I suspect you need something to do before then. That's when every organization in town comes out trying to rope you into joining their group.<br /><br />And the others are right. The culture shock is worse during the first few weeks. You'll settle in soon enough. However, you should need to talk or vent, by all means drop me a line and we'll have you over for coffee or something. We are, literally, right across the street from you.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512447456129695575.post-68968098488667981362009-05-10T18:41:00.000-07:002009-05-10T18:41:00.000-07:00If its any consolation I've been up here for 6 yea...If its any consolation I've been up here for 6 years now and still have plenty of crazy days. As long as you can laugh things off and find ways to vent you'll do just find. Easier said than done I know....but take it from someone who knows. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512447456129695575.post-88918294994305826062009-05-10T18:38:00.000-07:002009-05-10T18:38:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512447456129695575.post-72974356742878557622009-05-10T14:31:00.000-07:002009-05-10T14:31:00.000-07:00Thanks:)
