It feels like just yesterday I wrote on my blog, but a lifetime of memories have happened since then. First, let me apologize for not writing soon, I realize it`s almost been a month since I last wrote, but things here just get so crazy, and so busy and so fun, you kind of forget about the world outside KISC.
Let`s recap the last month:
22 April: Tonight was Staff Night out and we went to Bern for a movie (the new Fast and Furious movie). The whole night consisted of driving for an hour, watching the 2 hour movie, and driving home for an hour. Odd lenghts just to see a movie, but it was worth it. As we were filing into the movie, Felipe (BR) turns to me and says `Can I sit beside you?' -sure- `You can hold my hand if you get scared.` -It`s not a scary movie, Felipe- `You can still hold my hand` *Big Smile*. What a kidder, although he was very entertaining to sit beside. It was also Rakel`s birthday today, so we had cake! Banana- my fav.
23 April: Today, Lynsey and I had the day off and went shopping in Bern. We also took Margot (Holand) who is on a two wekk internship. Getting up at 10, we made it to Bern just after lunch and stayed until 5, making it home just in time for dinner. Once there, we made it to the Bear Pits (which normally consist of 3 or 4 bears, but only one was awake when we went), and then worked our way to the Munster, which is agreat Cathedral where you can climb up the tower to the top and see all of Bern. While the walk was long (more than 300 steps), it was most definately worth the burning sensation in my legs. Coming down again, we had lunch in a park along the river, and then it was time to SHOP! Don`t worry dad, I only bought one thing, and it was only 10 CHF, so I did pretty good. The music conservatory didn`t have a gift shop, but the candy shop did have a slide into it (I may have run out the store so I could go down the slide again...and again...until I got dirty looks. Tonight we`re celebrating Rakel`s birthday at Chalet Over-There, so that`s bound to be fun.
24 April: So last night, as you know, we celebrated Rakel`s birthday with a bonfire at Chalet Over-There. Hightlights include when Rakel invited passing army men to join on bonfire, and then giving them free beer, and Felipe and Dave `fighting`for me, lol..
25 April: Strip the Willow!! Tonight was a dance at `Our Chalet` (the girl guide centre in Adelboden). Orginally thinking it was more of a disco, it was good ol`fashion partner dancing with lots of sipping and circles (yes, I got a little dizzy). My favourite part of the night was dancing with Alex. In one dance you turned to you partner, two steps ot, tow steps in and 4 counts to dance as you wish. Everyone was keeping in style with their 4 counts, but Alex and I were breaking out the robot (a very bad one), and club stlye dancing, all to traditional Scottish music. Halarious. As were are Team Awesome (formed one day in Kanderlodge), we made a statue, handshake, method of countin, and a sign. We were pretty busy. After the dances we played sardines (similar to hide and seek) and hide and seek. I am proud to say, I was not found in Hide and Seek! All-in-all it was a good night, ending with Lynsey falling asleep on my sholder on the ride home.
27 April: HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN! Whiel nothing voerly exciting has heppened today, I would like to note that it is CRAZY snowing. It hasn`t started to cellect but big, fat, wet flakes are shooing down. It`s ridiculous.
1 May 2009: Tonight was International Night, so Rob and I had a Canada table equiped with badeges, hockey jerseys, and pancakes (which were a big hit). I also tried noodles from Korea, Scones from England, Vodka from Russia....but passed on the fish oil from Iceland (she drinks it straight from the bottle! YUCK!)
3 May 2009: Late friday night, Lynesy`s family arrive in Kandersteg, and the following day, Lynesy and I both took the day off together, with them. Starting with a sleep-in, we went to a chocolate factory, a cheese facory, a quaint village, and out for dinner, it was an awesome day.
At the chocolate factory we ate WAY to much chocolate, (free unguarded samples- MISTAKE). Getting in the car after, we were all quiet, trying to hit the curves as smooth as possible. By the time we reached the cheese factory, we were feeling much better and had a riot listening to `Cherry the Cow`on the audio sets. Today, I was working in catering, and had so much fun. Time might be one of my favourite LTS here. Finishing early at lunch, we had break until 4:30! So I layed in the sun with everyone, and played with Willow before Lynsey got back and we (Lynsey, Mr Waters, Mrs Waters, Mark, Scorpio and I) headed to the marmotte for cakes. Sitting on the patio, I manages to get sunburnt, even with sunscreen on. The best part was in the kids playground on this spinny thing that Mark FLEW off of. He scraped his sholder pretty good, but it was still funny! I walked in my room just before dinner to find a card and small present from Gillian. I let her borrow my camping bad whilshe went on vacation, sailing. This card was accompanied by Dariy Milk Chocolate and a small bean bag salamander. In Mallorca (or wherever she went), Salamanders are suppsed to bring good luck, which is why she chose that. How cute is she?

That`s all I have written in my journal now, and I am currently late for lunch, so I`ll update my journal, and then update here, soon....I hope.
Love,
