I am in New Brunswick right now for a marine mammals course. What better way to kill 3 credits!?! Whale watching, seal observing, sea-bird gazing... woo hoo!
I'll be in Saint Andrews for 2 weeks, then my boyfriend will be meeting up with me so we can venture on our first vacation together :-)
The Huntsman Marine science center seems good so far. I haven't explored much of the campus yet because we got in from our 10 hour drive from Montreal and ate supper. In half an hour, we have our official starting time. A meeting after a sleepy day-long drive and a tummy full of carbs? I detect a little dreary-eyed short attention spans in my near future.
We're all staying in an old summer home, which is right next to a golf course. I'm sitting next to a nice faux-fireplace in a sunny room with friendly people, most of us immersed in our individual worlds, either through laptop computers or a book.
I'm concerned about my food situation. They weren't too pleased with my gluten sensitivity and told me that us types are supposed to bring our own food, which made me a little mad. I'm paying for food to be included with my tuition, and have a food allergy that I didn't choose to have. Plus, I wasn't told that I had to bring my own food, in which case, I would have suggested strongly for a partial refund for what I have payed so far. Sometimes, this world isn't made for people who don't fit the cookie mold.
