Right, so, in the past week Canada seems to have heard that it has a reputation for being cold. So it has got down to about -8 in the day, which I'm pretty sure has never happened back home. Fortunately Halifax hasn't yet cottoned on to the fact that as it's by the sea it should be windy, so that is a pretty handy fact. Anyhow it's still pretty dry and clear skies, although I feel I should make the obligatory fuss about the fact there has been a small amount of snow, so here we go, oh my God it's snowing! Snow!! SNOW!!! Good, glad I got that out the way, can move on now.
Today I discovered that a peanut butter twix is a thing, and quite a tasty thing at that. However that does not make up for the severe lack of pasties here. What else am I supposed to eat when I fancy something filling, savoury, easy to eat that isn't a sandwich? There's nothing that quite fills that spot like a cornish pasty or perhaps a lamb and mint one, but no can't even find anything vaguely similar.
Went to the hockey again, this time the Mooseheads won 7-1, essentially they have a fairly awesome keeper whereas the other team didn't. Got to see a fluke goal as well, it went in off the glass that protects the crowd, really quite embarrassing for the keeper. This time saw some guys get penalties for roughing, perhaps they'd had a few too many pints of lager and felt a bit fighty. Now, Cananda has a few places which I would descibe as unpronouncable and the team they played were from one such place, Chicoutimi Sagueneens, not even sure which one is the place. I have a suspicion one of those words may be pronounced Shoe-Book-Toe as the announcer seemed to keep saying it, however that may just be a list of things he had to remember who knows.
Anyhow I have exams soon so not doing a huge amount of anything so there's not much else to tell. Oh, and I should probably mention that I'm at the Uni with a puppy room to help people relax during exams.
