Different - Day 1: Assiniwhat?

Well, I did my best in killing as many bugs as I could with my windshield and front bumper. I made it safely to Assiniboia at around 8pm today. The entire drive down, I'm like, "man this is different." Both me and my dad, who was caring enough to come down with me, were pretty intrigued by what Saskatchewan is like. My dad had been to Saskatoon once, but it was twenty years ago.

I also had no idea that I was this much of a city boy that I almost literally have no idea what is going on out here in the country. I mean, Alberta isn't your most civilized place - it is still a prairie province - but I feel so out of place in terms of an external environment. Edmonton has the entire population of Saskatchewan, so that gives you a rough idea of what it's like here in a town of 2800.

Anyway, I'm tired so I only unpacked the things that I need in order to let me go to bed tonight. I'll go to church tomorrow to meet the people I'll be working with for the next seven months. I'll feel really young, that's what it feels like based on what I know so far.

Other than that, I don't want to say much more because I want to sleep; so when I'm more energized, I'll give as much as I can.

Thanks to Conner for letting me stay at his place. I am allergic to cats, so let's hope I'm not allergic to his dog.
