Hey guys, funny story. So, my name is Aisling, which many of you may know is said like "Ashleen." Because of this A LOT (i.e. most) people call me "Ash." This is no different here. Except that it seems to have confused some of the francophones that I live with. And because of this, I have a new name...

....

H!

You see, in French, the letter "h" is also pronounced like "ash." So that is my new name, as demonstrated by my bagel that was labelled this morning as "Sexy H" by the luverly Alex.

In other news, last night we took CNIB impact training, which was a lot of fun. During the guiding exercises (learning how to guide blind people) I kind of cheated by telling Alex exactly where to go since I obviously know the building pretty well, since I work there. The whole course was quite interesting and I learned tonnes. I've also been learning lots at work in general. For example, just from shredding dead files, I have learned so much about eye diseases and deficiencies. It's all really cool, and weird, and kind of scary.

Tonight I was really sick for a while, but then I kind of got better so Joelle, Alex, Jade and I went to Orchard Park (which is a giant mall), and I bought a swimsuit because we're going swimming tomorrow for this week's physical activity. We had to take a taxi and a bus because Joanne is on her 24 hours off, so we had nobody to drive us. But it wasn't too bad. The taxi only cost us 2$ each, and we have bus passes that were donated by the city. It's true what they say about this city's bus system though- it's awful!!!

Well, that's pretty much all I have to say today, other than, if I promised you letters, I'm sending them out soon, I promise!!! I have so many stamps and envelopes just waiting to be used! So, watch your mailboxes!!!
