Arrived and well...in Chicoutimi!

Bonjour! I am in Chicoutimi and I love it so far! The drive from Ottawa wasn`t bad at all!!! I had a mini-sing-a-long and ate celery and carrot sticks :D I arrived and then my host family came to get me, there is a mum and a daughter who is 19. They are both super friendly and kind. AND, the mum works in a health food place and the food is amazing. YUM!!! There is another student who lives with me, excecpt she didn`t arrive until today...she`s awesome too! And she`s from Ottawa and a huge SENS fan too! We watched the game-woot woot for sure. We`re leading the series 3-0. Sweet. We were going to go watch the game with other people but we were SO tired that we didn`t...but we`ve made plans to go on Wednesday evening to watch the game. The thought of Ottawa in Round 4 makes me smile SO big...but I`m trying to take it one game at a time and stay chill style. so for now I say "GO SENS GO!!!"
Back to my day...in the morning I walked to school and then we took a placement test which I found super hard, I didn`t have a clue what any of the answers were...next we had an oral interview which was a lot more comfortable. We find out tomorrow what group we`re in, but I really don`t mind...In the afternoon we took a walk around the main street in town which is right on the river and quite beautiful.
Well, I am exhausted...speaking french makes me tired but everyone is nice! Tomorrow I sign a contract not to speak english! Hopefully this will get easier...I`m sure I`m making tons and tons of mistakes...and sometimes I get to the middle of a sentence and have no idea what the next word is. It`s kinda funny.
Ok, I better go...I`d love to hear from you who ever is reading this!
I am wondering how all the marathon runners did and whether mum`s flowers arrived!!
Bonne nuit!
P.S the internet connection is dial-up. I`m kicking it old school... :D
