Had so much fun last night at the Festival des rythmes du monde. We couldn’t see much of DobaCaracol’s show because the place was crowded (they close Racine street for the festival), so we saw this amazing group from Guinea and then Luck Mervil made the city dance for two hours with a bunch of really cool creole songs. I didn’t care about the fact I was crampy, I danced my butt off last night with my friends and then we went for a fire and I met a few people from Chile, absolutely nice! Came home around 2:30, all boozed and crinquée.

This morning I’m “chillaxing” (thanks for teaching me weird words, Manitoba!), doing laundry and cooking. I just talked to my mommy and my auntie on the phone and then I received a message from one of my roomies from last session to tell me he’s coming back to Chicoutimi today and that he will be at “La maison du bonheur” (House of Happiness) around noon today. I can’t wait to see him again, this place looks lonely!

I’m looking forward to starting school in two weeks. As much as I loved working this summer, it’s time for a change. And next session will be even better now that I know more people and that I’ve become a real Saguenéenne.
