Ice Skating Anyone?

It's been about six weeks since I've been here at Nipissing, and I'm finally beginning to feel totally settled in....in fact some of my classes here remind me alot of classes back at home at COB, so you can pretty much say I'm feeling at home here at NU. My classes are pretty interesting as well, two of my favorites are my Gender Studies class which discusses human rights and animal rights, and I must say it has totally opened my eyes to a few things I've never thought about before, and my class entitled "The Scandalous Life". Like the name suggests, the class looks at what was thought to be scandalous literature back in 18th century Britain, and though the books can somewhat be a little challenging to get through, the class discussions are really interesting and engaging.

I'm doing my best to try new things while I'm here as well, because really, what's the point of being somewhere new if you don't try  new things right? Well, I think ice skating is pretty much as new as it gets, especially for someone from the Bahamas who had never even seen snow until a month ago. The other night, my room mates decided to give me a crash course in ice skating, which I really must say is ALOT harder than it looks! Even though I nearly broke both of my wrists, I still had a whole lot of fun, but I don't think ice skating is quite my sport....maybe I'll try skiing or snowboarding instead. Hopefully I won't head back home to Nassau with any broken bones lol. Other than getting a few bumps and scrapes from ice skating, Canada's outdoors in the winter is a definitely an experience. Though I'm obviously not much of an ice skater, my room mates and I still had a great time making snow angels and having a snow ball free for all. Though I do miss home, I must say life in North Bay is pretty good.
