My 7th week was a shorter school-week than normal because I had a free day on Friday. Guess why..? Because it was Thanksgiving! This was obviously a very exciting weekend, because it has been the first Thanksgiving I've ever celebrated!
School was very good, I am starting to feel very happy in A.N. Myer and my friends are just the best! What I love about Canada is the multiculturalism. I have friends who are descended from Africa, Cuba, Italy, Germany and other countries. On Thursday, we had Myer Spirit day. I guess it's just a day to honor the school, so everyone wore the Myer-colours, which are purple and white.
I noticed that Canada is very patriotic, compared to Austria. In the morning we stand up and listen to the canadian anthem! I've never done something like that in Austria.
On Friday, my host- mum, brother, sister and I went to Kingston to their cottage. I always enjoy staying there, because we can drive with the boat, go waterskiing (in summer) or just enjoy the awesome view from the living room. The colours of the leaves started to change and I almost felt like I was back in Austria. On Saturday, we had a big family dinner for Thanksgiving and it was a bit overwhelming for me. I was surprised that so many people would show up at the cottage! But I had a good time, all the relatives are very nice and the food was super-good. Even if I didn't have any turkey because I am vegetarian, I enjoyed the meal. The next days I had some homework to do and studied for school. Sometimes it is very hard for me to understand, but I try my best to be good in school.
On Monday, we went back to Niagara Falls and I had to say goodbye to my hostsiblings, which is always a bit sad for me. They are just so nice and funny, it's always a blast hanging out with them!
My first Thanksgiving had been an awesome experience and I enjoyed taking part a canadian tradition.
