Wisaka Boocha...

Good news and bad news. Good news: after over a year and a half of waiting to become a citizen of Canada, I have finally been called in to take the citizenship test that precedes the citizenship ceremony. Bad news: I'm not in Canada. So I had to write a letter begging them to let me wait till I get home. I was gonna try to find a place to mail it but them remembered that today is a Buddhist holiday, in fact its the holiest Buddhist holidays. Today is Wisaka Bucha which marks the birth, death, and enlightenment of the Buddha.

Today was the first day of orientation. So far so good but a bit overwhelming. We fnished up at around 4 then I went home and read a bit then fell asleep for a few minutes. Got up and walked over to Big C. In the parking lot were a couple hundred people doing aerobics. It was a pretty funny thing to see. Ran into my apartment mate Nathan, grabbed some supper from KFC and then went shopping for cleaning supplies.
