IN SASKATOON

So I've been in Saskatoon for almost a week. I really like the city and campus and I am excited to meet new people at church. So far things have been interesting, as they usually are. The day we moved all my boxes and furniture up to the second floor it was 34 degrees. It turned out to be a windy day, so windy it blew the screen out of my kitchen window. The second day was fun, also very hot. I went to the gas station to fill up my car only to realize when I went in to pay I didn't have my wallet so I had to walk home and get it. It wasn't too far, only a few blocks.
Thursday would have to be the best day I've had so far. I was on my way to Dollarama (the best store ever, the first dollar store I've been to where everything is actually only $1) which is on Circle Dr, a really busy main road in Saskatoon. I needed to turn left and had a green light so I was inching into the middle of the intersection. The light turned yellow so I went to turn and my car stalled. At first I freaked out because I had no idea what was going on, my automatic has never stalled before. All I knew was that I needed to move and I couldn't. So here I am stuck in the middle of the intersection during 5 o'clock rush hour. When it came to mind that I needed to restart my car, only a few seconds, cars from the perpendicular lane already had the green light and were driving around me. I had to sit there until I got the next green light before I could go. It was so embarassing.
Anyway, that's some of what has happened since I have been here. I can't put any pictures up because... well I don't know why, it just won't let me.

Glad Saskaskabush is good! I'll be home tomorrow, can't believe it. And I'll start calling after I'm home. Love you!
