I got my insurance & a Manitoban Driving Licence *Updated*
This was a busy week, thus many things happened. On Monday night it started snowing, we got about 30 cm of snow in 24 hours. On Tuesday Canadian Life changed :) Traffic almost came to a standstill, buses were running late (a women at my bus stop was waiting the bus for about one and a half hour), lots of university courses were cancelled ... libraries and cafeterias closed earlier ... all that because of 30 cm of snow ... yes, I was really surprised, yet yesterday still the major of the city complained about the very slow cleaning of the streets ... on the other hand, why taking life so serious, it works also without such a hurry *smile*

On Wednesday I got my insurance coverage for the car and I also exchanged my Swiss Driver's Licence against a Manitoban Driver's Licence. Was funny to give away my Swiss Licence ... I'm more and more Canadian now :)
Because of the bad road conditions, I wasn't sure if I should go out for a trip with my car (I wasn't allowed to drive before). Anyway, I went to Canadian Superstore doing some grocery shopping and I also bought some equipment for my car. Against my expectations it was not as challenging to drive on the frozen snow, yet I know that I have to be careful ...
On Thursday I had to prepare for my economics exam the next day. On Friday I went playing badminton, afterwards we went to a "House"-Party (not the music!) ... they organized a party for their last days in Winnipeg (they just came here for a term). They transformed their house into a party house - was cool, probably over 30 persons were dancing to music ... the house was crowded and the ambiance was great. Also a good opportunity to meet new people - there was a big surprise:
I talked to a guy and he told me that he will go study to Switzerland. I was really surprised and asked him, what university he will go to ... the answer was ... University of Applied Science in Winterthur ... and the next point was ... Business School! So funny, I couldn't believe it ... I met just this guy who is going to my home university in Switzerland! He was really excited and told me that a former exchange student that went to Switzerland really enjoyed her stay in Winterthur! His name is Nick, and he will stay in Winterthur for the second term ... would be funny if you will see him soon ...!!!

That was not my plan, but as it looks like nobody saw it ... :)
Why did you get a Manitoba drivers licence? We just had to showed our Swiss licence and got a driving permit for free.
I mean, we just showed our Swiss licence, not had to showed (terrible) tstststs, shame on me. :-)
Next thursday, we have an information session for the IBSEN program, where we introduce U of M. Say hello to Andrea and Nick.
