Billeting round two, it doesn't feel like a boxing match now. I honestly had one of the most amazing times billeting in Quebec. Although I do feel like Katimavik is just making me billet to show the world how socially awkward I can be. I went billeting with a girl named Joelle, she is a 26 year old girl with a degree in art. She has her own studio, a lovely little home tucked away in the mountains, a cute cat, an amazing job on the farm. I am in love with my billeting experience. How am I supposed to describe moments of such great bliss. It was amazing! I got to work on a farm for five days, I peeled challets, sorted potatoes, cleaned a green house, sorted tea, helped package chili peppers, cleaned dishes, it was so much fun. Joelle would always bring us tea when we were working. A guy who worked there kept asking us how much french we knew that way he knew if he could be stupid in french or not. I loved it there. I was billeting with Jill and Morgan, and honestly I love them so much.
We were allowed to smoke in the house (disgusting) and drink in the house (I am allowed to drink?! This is weird... obviously I didn't) Alas there was no internet, so I watched B.C. News with jill. The cute little kitten kept attacking jills feet, and it always wanted to snuggle. Jill and I shared the loft upstairs which required you to crawl up the stairs in order to reach it. Morgan had her own bedroom. There was a wood stove that heated all of the house. We had a fondue night, cheese fondue from Charlevoix and a meat fondue from the lady who runs the farm as a thank you. It was fun.
The last day of billeting was very sad. We had to say goodbye to Joelle, who was like our sister. She gave me maple syrup, tea, jam, pickles, and chili peppers to take home with me that was all made on the farm. I am really excitied about the syrup to share it with my family.
Anyways. I miss Joelle I miss the farm. I miss billeting (Never expected to say that) That was just a quick run down on billeting because there hasn't been a blog in a very long time. Also because there is so much to do
30 days left?! SAY WHAT?!
