Deuxième semaine à Sushi Shop

Monday was delivery day, like last Monday. I’d forgotten until the man came in with the stack of boxes. And then he kept coming, with almost the whole kitchen taken up by boxes of stuff! We had to first check that everything in the order came, then moved the frozen foods into the freezers. The other boxes, filled with paper towels, soy sauce, etc. were left later, since they weren’t in any danger of thawing out. The rest of the day went by rather normally; I started to get into a pattern of bringing out the patio chairs and tables, washing the large cutting boards for sushi, and mixing the rice with the vinegar. There was also prep work, like placing certain foods into containers that fit in the sushi-making area, cutting up veggies and meats (more veggies, in my case, and unwrapping the crab sticks). Rolling sushi were the highlights of my days, as they were the least boring and least tedious. However, I washed dishes three times a day, once in the morning, once around midday, and once at the end of my shift.

One good thing about working the day shift is getting to make the sushi. A positive about that is that I get to keep the ends of the rolls (that are cut off to make the rolls look nice) and use them to make my own sushi lunch. I don’t have to pay for food nor bring food (other than snacks). Usually those who work the closing shifts get the free sushi that wasn’t bought from the day, but that’s at around 9 or 10pm, which is pretty late for dinner.

However, the rest of the job got boring rather quickly. It was a great position, but the constant washing of dishes wasn’t so great.

Lisa and I met up for a movie, Jurassic World (in French), on Tuesday with two others, at the movie theatre for half off days. As the movie was in 3D, we had to pay $9, but the normal films were just $5! I wanted to go see those. We made banana bread cupcakes the next day, which turned out amazingly yummy! We watched Divergent in French while we waited for them to finish (only half an hour), then munched on 3 each once they came out of the oven.      

16 juin: le deuxième jour

Beaucoup de nettoyage – les tables, chaises, fenetres, mur/baseboards, salle de bain…

Got to do some prep work with the food.

Washed dishes (faire la vaissalle) and prepped rice

J’ai pris un petit pose (15 minutes mais j’ai pris seulement 5)

I actually made lots of sushi!!! Mostly advocado, 2 pesto, 2 concombre, 2 Vancouver 🙂

15 juin: mon premier jour à Sushi Shop

First day at work, ever! As my first time in a real workplace, getting paid, working 6+ hours per day, I was nervous. However, mornings leave no room for emotion due to the extreme tiredness (going to bed at 1am was not my conscious fault; my body nor mind didn’t want to sleep early!).

So I woke up at 7 in order to have about 40 minutes to get ready, then walk over so that I’d be early. I got there at 7:50, then sat down to wait for the others. However, no one came. Twice I did a lap around the plaza to see if there was a back door I was supposed to be using instead, but I couldn’t figure out if there was one, as there was no sign with “Sushi Shop” like other stores. 50 minutes went by without anyone coming. I had eventually closed my eyes, just so tired from my short 6 hours of sleep. It was 8:40 when I decided to just walk back to my residence to ask Penelope what was going on, since I didn’t have a phone.

I got to my room around 8:50, then messaged Penelope on Facebook, asking why no one was there. She pointed out that it was only 7:50 right now, confused at why I hadn’t left yet. My eyes looked at the computer clock, then my alarm clock. The latter was an hour early!! I ran back to Sushi Shop, getting there at 8:05 or 8:10. Remi, one of my coworkers, was outside. I thought he was my boss, Alex, but it turned out he wasn’t. He pointed out that they start at 8am, but then I explained my situation and he said it wasn’t a big deal. We went inside after his cigarette and I explained the same thing to Alex when introduced. He laughed, while I was just tired. I had only 5 hours of sleep, after all!

Alx assigned me to follow Remi in the kitchen. I started out with easy things, slowly getting used to the place and quickly having to learn new vocabulary. We cleaned the fridge of the ice buildup, which took quite a while and my hands were extremely cold after it. He then showed me how to make white and brown rice, which made me hungry. Luckily I knew some of these things from Japan, such as adding rice wine before cooking and adding white vinegar after cooking. While the rice cooked, we had the week’s delivery come in. All sorts of food, cleaning supplies, etc. came in a few mountains of boxes, so the three of us worked on that. The other girl, Kym, was working on prep in the front. I learned where most things belonged by helping with the unpacking, which was useful to know for the first day. Remi and I took out the flattened boxes to the recycling bins in the back, which was a nice break from being inside the kitchen (and it was lovely out).

After that I did food prep with Remi, cutting vegetables and deep frying the sweet potatoes in the cute little fryer. I was amazed at how much food waste there was and also wondered if there was no compost bins in Quebec (or TR), since that would be much more prudent, with the amount of food going into the garbage. The rice still wasn’t finished, so I washed dishes! (“faire la vaisselle” is a phrase I got to know quickly.) It wasn’t too difficult, except for the larger cutting boards and trickier apparatuses (like the sweet potato machine that julienne’d the vegetable). Then I got to do the rice! It was difficult, as there was so much rice to turn, but Alex came over to show me a more efficient method. There was a ton of rice thrown out because it was brown from being at the bottom of the pot, which made me sad; Japanese rice is SUPER expensive and SUPER tasty!

Luckily I made it through the day. I worked from 8-2 without a break (no one offered so I didn’t know the protocol) and hence dead on my feet by the end of my time. I couldn’t even properly speak French by the last half hour, as I was just so exhausted. My lower back and left ankle were hurting, so I went back to my residence slowly.

After eating lunch, I took a nap that turned into 4 hours. So begins work.

Samdi, juin 6: Montréal!

Saturday was Montreal!

I was excited to go back for the Cat Cafe and roam where I wanted, as I’d already visited most of the tourist areas with my mother before Explore. However, I like history so I decided to go on the little guided tour of Old Montreal. It wasn’t completely worth my time, but that’s alright.

Meetup point by Old Montreal

Walking around, looking for food places in Old Montreal

Megan, Jamie, Alyssa, and I stayed together for the day, as we all wanted to go to the same activities. After the guided tour, we found a restaurant to eat at. Alyssa and I weren’t as hungry, so we shared a smoked meat poutine – I wouldn’t have been able to finish it by myself!

YUM

The cute, secluded patio where we ate

 

After lunch was the mandatory excursion for Beavertails. It was close by, just at the river. Jamie and I got Avalanche Beavertails (skor cheesecake, basically), Megan got a gelato from the ice cream store next door, and Alyssa had to have her ice cream beavertail bouché thing. The Beavertail was insanely sweet, causing me to recall my traumatizing first experience (when I was around 7 years old?) with Beavertails being too sweet (and hence not liking them). I sneakily grabbed a handful of the tiny milk containers used for coffee and downed them like shots as I ate the rest of the beavertail.

Dessert

The afternoon activity: The Museum of Fine Arts. I only went because I didn’t think I’d have enough time to go to the planetarium that Greg, the chanson atelier animateur, highly recommended.  It was alright, but definitely not the most useful nor interesting part of Montreal. Had I known, I’d have gone to Cacao 70, a chocolate restaurant that I didn’t get to go to!! Alyssa, who stayed overnight, had the chance to go and told me how amazing it was. Hopefully I have enough time during my layover on my way back to eat there.

My favourite piece: I thought it was a fat man being eaten by monkeys, but it’s a fat monkey. Metaphor still exists.

Coming back to the meeting point by the school bus, we each headed our separate ways. Alyssa went with her overnight friends, Megan went to do something (I forgot), Jamie wanted to wander on St Catherine for souvenirs, and I went to the cat cafe!! I spent an hour there, sipping chai tea as I pet the cats and finally relaxed. Most of them slept for the most part, but a few were awake, walking around and chilling. It was about 5:30 when they started gathering around the waiter’s door, meowing. They knew their dinner time was coming, and they were hungry! It was super adorable and it confirmed my desire to own a cat or two. I paid for my chai tea on the way out – a steep $4 – but it was a cost for both the tea and the experience, so I don’t regret it.

The 8th was still sleeping.

I walked quickly back to the meeting point, as Megan, Jamie, and I agreed to meet for dinner together. I saw Jamie on my way and he said he regretted not coming with me, as he didn’t find St Catherine interesting nor useful and he wanted to play with the cats. Once we met Megan, we looked around for food and found a reasonably priced Italian restaurant. Jamie ordered a wholesome pizza, Megan a 4-cheese for her cravings, and me a “Calabrese”, with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and ham. It was SO good! I didn’t think I could finish it all, from the size of it, but I did it. Megan had to remove all the cheese after about 1/3 of the pizza since she’s lactose intolerant. I was confused as to why she even ordered that type of pizza with her condition and she replied that she just had to have 4-cheese since it tastes so good.

Am I Italian, yet?

I had a craving for a chocolatine, so I looked around and saw  an ice cream store just by our restaurant. I took a chance to look in, and they had the chocolatine! It was $4 with tax (jeez), but my desire was fulfilled.

Too small to be $4

Rather than staying overnight, thinking the price would be too steep and there being not much to do, I took the bus back to TR that night with Megan and Jamie. However, from all that I heard from many people, I wish I had stayed to experience the nightlife, gone to the planetarium, gone to the park with Tam-Tams, and gone to Cacao 70. Montreal isn’t very far from Toronto, so hopefully I get the chance to come back soon.

Le 5e semaine: au revoir!

On Monday we took up all of the worksheets we were assigned the previous week so that we would be ready for the NEXT DAY’S TEST. Yes, the test was Tuesday and we only knew the correct answers on Monday.  That night everyone studied, as it was the only chance we had. On the test were all the given sheets, the prepositions from the first semester, and new verb endings. To write out notes, it took 9 pages, unlike the first semester’s 4, and less time to study. Monday was also the last Conversation atelier, where we did activities on Quebecois lore (which was actually quite interesting). I received my acceptance into Langues et travail and I was shouting and jumping up and down (Megan and Jamie can attest to this).

Tuesday was the test. People were rather nervous or laissez-faire about it – I was one of the latter (I just wanted it over with!!) I did relatively well, since he was marking harshly, with an 89%. Lunch with the animatrices was nice, as they properly knew who I was (somehow) and we had amazing pizza that had the pepperoni underneath! It was the last Chanson atelier that day as well, where we didn’t do much but listen to each person’s favourite French song in class and filled out surveys of the atelier. The “info weekend”/info session was on Tuesday this week to tell us about what to expect in the last few days. The evening was karaoke, but I decided not to go since it was raining and I really couldn’t be bothered.

Wednesday was rather relaxing, as we didn’t really do anything in class and there was no atelier. I cleaned as much as possible, since I learned that my inspection was moved up a day -to Thursday, instead of Friday. I also had a meeting with Penelope and the other students who were accepted into the Langues et travail program to know more details and find out (finally!) which post I got. I GOT SUSHI SHOP YESSSSS!! I was excited about my post and surprised at my luck at being able to walk to work, rather than bike or bus. In the evening was the Spectacle, which actually surprised me at how talented some people were. One girl, Alyssa, in my chanson atelier did an amazing rendition of Edith Piaf’s La vie en rose (her voice was MINDBLOWING). Another friend, Kyle, did 2 acting parts, a rubic’s cube show, and played the drums (SO WELL OMG). That night was the night to go out to Chase Galerie, where I actually met new people like Sam and danced for a while. It was a good final night, so I’m happy about that.

Thursday was our final class. I was late by about 20 minutes since I was drunk the previous night, but I didn’t really care haha. We watched all the films from the first week and the films we made the previous week. Keya was ridiculously funny and ours was pretty good too. The other two weren’t really good, but it didn’t really matter. In the early afternoon we had the post-test (which I finished as quickly as possible because I was just so done). It was then time to move. I decided it’d just be easier to move today rather than Friday, since there’d be less people in the other residence moving in and less people moving out in general. I thought I could maybe get help from people, but everyone was cleaning, so I just made a gazillion back and forth trips myself. It took me about 2 hours, since I was doing things in pieces, and I got Jamie to help me with the big luggage, as my arms were exhausted. Many people were also giving me food, so that really added to my back and forth movement (though definitely appreciated, as I wouldn’t have to do as much grocery shopping). I only had an hour to get ready for the final ceremony, so I showered quickly, put on a dress and a bit of makeup, and off I went. This time I remembered to bring a fan in order to keep cool and not sweat off my makeup. We sat by class and went up alphabetically to get our certificates and then took a final class picture. It was all very cute, but I had no tears to cry. Our group went back to our residence, where we said goodbyes without tears.

Friday people left. It was all over so quickly. I took stuff that people left behind, since there was a lot left behind, and lots was useful to me (such as tissues, food, etc.) I remembered in time to change my train ticket (and good thing I waited, since I only got an email on Thursday about how I could leave on the 4th of July, since I was to work on the 3rd). I went to 1088R to see if I could get more kitchen supplies, since people were bringing back theirs, and I was able to take a lot! I got a dishrack, toaster, pot, strainer, etc. On my way, I saw a friend who was waiting to be picked up (lucky him!) and we chatted for a bit before his mom came. It was quite adorable, but sad for me since I wouldn’t see my family for another 3 weeks. I organized my room that day and didn’t really know what else to do, as there was nothing TO do.

And so the weekend came, where I also didn’t have anything specific to do. Now starts my time with Langues et travail…

Semaine quatre: BUSY BUSY BUSY

SUUUPER late, but it’s really been quite busy.

The second last week of Explore was full of things. It was the week of basically all of the material for semester 2, since we barely did anything the week before and the week after was all tests and presentations. We zoomed through worksheets – unlike the first semester, the prof didn’t really explain things properly, so we had to figure things out (which was relatively simple, with the sheets he gave us). But it was a lot to learn for the next week’s exam. Our test was only on Monday on 1 or 2 sheets, so all the rest would be on the exam.

Our book presentations were due this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Mine was Friday, since I spoke with M. Bégin about how I had two interviews that week (Tuesday and Thursday) and Friday was the only possible date for me. That went well, with a 98% even though I read quite a bit (my presentation was a Prezi, not a powerpoint, so his eyes were on the presentation the whole time muahahaha)

The interviews also went well, one for the school year and one for Langues et travail. I was super nervous for the latter, but luckily it was rather casual and short so I didn’t have to stumble too much.

What took up a lot of time was filming the group film. We got together at least 4 times that week and it came out relatively well. I did all of the editing, but it was a group mark (that I never saw), so I didn’t get extra credit.

Friday was the optional canoe/rock climbing activity that I didn’t sign up for because I thought it’d be kayaking (like it said in the agenda), and canoeing with 9 other people in my boat didn’t sound so fun. It was also cold and drizzly, so although the trip went ahead, it wasn’t so fun according to my friend. The casino night was alright, everyone looked lovely. I helped a friend, Eunice,  win a lunch with the animatrices, so I got to eat with them the next week. I also tied with my friend, Liam, at bras de fer (arm wrestling), since he’s actually pretty weak.

 

Semaine trois: un fin et un début

Monday was uneventful. Tuesday evening there was a “scientific conference” that was really just a overview introduction into health and disease, with emphasis on viruses and bacteria. It was interesting only for learning (the stuff I already know) in French.

Tuesday was also the end of semester 1 and start of 2, with the morning being mostly the exam for semester 1.

We watched Les Choristes (The Choral) on Wednesday (which was actually so good) and chose books for our oral presentations the week after. I took out two, not being able to choose, and asked for advice the next day on which book I should present on. I saw another book in the library under “advanced” that looked more intermediate, and it was gorgeous. I wanted to read it just for the images, but after when I looked at the cover properly, the author’s name is almost the exact same as my friend’s! What a coincidence~

On Thursday I received another blue card in the chanson atelier.

Friday was the outing to Chez Dany, an all-you-can-eat French food “sugar cabin”  that included ham, omlettes, pea soup, pancakes, and other things. My friends and I split the drink “Caribou”, which is a mix of red wine, whisky, and maple syrup. It was alright, but not amazing. There was live music and people danced around~ Before we entered, though, there was a cabin where we learned a little about maple syrup and how it’s made. After feeling super full (from eating 1 soup with 1 slice of bread, 2 servings of the main meal, and 4 heavenly pancakes), we went outside for the last item: maple syrup taffy! It’s when maple syrup is poured onto ice, cooled to a denser liquid, then twirled onto a stick so that you can eat it. I couldn’t even finish mine because it was TOO sweet! And I’m not ever one to say anything is too sweet, so that’s saying something.

When we got back, it was just in time for the soiree quebecois. Those who went to Chez Dany included a lot of the people who do go to the activities like the soiree, so ther were maybe 6 students there when I arrived. I decided to just go peek in to see what was happening, but ended up staying for an hour and a half! There were people who came in to perform live Quebecois music and teach us their traditional dances. I was paired up with “hot” Keven, one of the animateurs, since there were shockingly more males than females present when I arrived. That quickly changed, but we never switched partners. There were big circle parts to the dancing, line dancing, etc. and it was actually super fun! However, I was dead once the round of dancing finished and music chairs were being set up, so I decided to go back to my residence.

Saturday: no park outing because of the unpredictable weather (it thunderstormed later in the day). This messed up my whole weekend, which was planned out as such: Saturday – park in the morning/midday, come back, rest/do homework, then go to Le Temple at night. Sunday: sleep, go for crepes, do some work, go for the movie and/or volleyball. However, we went for crepes on Saturday instead, since Jamie had never tried any before, and we were almost caught in a flash thunderstorm while returning (but luckily it held off until we got back into our residences). ALYSSA PUT 3 SUGARS IN HER GREEN TEA OMG. LIKE WHAT. WHY. I just couldn’t get over that for a while. Even now it’s weirding me out. That night we still went to Le Temple as planned, as there was no other good day to go, even though Jamie and I were a little sick. It was really fun, although the cover of $7 was not, especially the people watching. Being able to understand the DJ was also really cool!

Sunday: It was so cold at the park, so I got on the first bus back around 1pm. I got pretty sick and so I got out of there ASAP. After returning, I took a nap but until 9:30pm, then did work. It’s the constant weather changes! Super annoying with the hot cold hot cold and flash rains…

Dimanche, mai 24: Québec City!

Quebec~ I know I’m quite late, but this week has been quite busy!

We left around 8:45am from the school to get to Quebec at 10:30am. Our guided tour started at 10:45 and ended rather early, at 11:30 or so, and we went to the Parliament and then through the fortifications into Old Quebec. The tour didn’t have as much history, talking, etc. from the animateurs, so it wasn’t as interesting.  The atmosphere was lovely in Old Quebec – just like Europe – and I wanted to see more.

Parliament building on a bright day

 

 

 

For lunch, Alyssa (one of my suite mates) and I went to Queues de Castor, the well-known place for Beavertails. Beavertails, poutine, crêpes, and pastries were on my list of To-Eat things, so I was fortunate to find the restaurant! Megan, Alisha, and Jamie ate at another restaurant on the staircase (I stole Alyssa from them, after I came back with information of the restaurant).

Apple cinnamon beavertail and regular poutine. The latter was so big I couldn`t even finish it! The beavertail was heavenly.

I decided to walk around for the rest of the day instead of going on any trip. I had tickets for the waterfall at Chute-Montmorency (2.75$) and the Governor General`s House (free), but I didn`t feel like either of those were a good use of 3-4 hours of my time.

I’m quite glad that I did, since I got to see so many things in Quebec. Yes, the falls were nice. Yes, the governor’s house was pretty cool. But I’m happy with my choice and all that I got to see and do in that one single day that I had to explore a city. After walking around Old Quebec, I went toward Rue St Jean, as it seemed to have all the places I want to go to (when I was googling the day before for research). I saw a candy store, gelato stores, pubs, and a hat store on the way to the street. I had an amazing view of the city while walking by one of the hospitals. Taking a detour, I saw a government building and the VIA train station, both beautiful architecturally, and a park with a little gazebo that held artifacts from the first ship settlers in the city. While walking back, up a strange hill road, I found a hidden furniture store. There were so many little things like that that made all the random walking worth it.

Inside the Simons were some beautiful wooden pieces, such as this one.

On Rue St Jean, I saw a large church that was turned into a library and exhibit gallery. Beside it, a cemetery that held 135 people, but only a number of tombstones because people were buried on top of each other. The tombstones were actually quite fascinating – some still relatively readable and others completely worn away. On the street were many shops and restaurants, that I couldn’t help go into a few. There was one with some amazing  furniture, especially cabinets, that were all carvings and different woods and exotic…if only they weren’t so expensive! I walked along until I was at the end of the interesting part of the road, then walked back. Until then, I hadn’t bought anything (though many things looked tempting!) because I wasn’t hungry – I was still holding the poutine because I thought I’d be able to eat more! However, I decided to buy things on the way back, having looked at all the stores and knowing what I was interested in buying. In two different stores, I bought different chocolate pastries: one was $3 for an almond-chocolate-coconut one and the other was $1 for just a chocolate pastry. They were both worth it! I also treated myself to a gelato – it took me forever to figure out which flavours I wanted because 1. I wanted to sample things before buying and 2. there were so many people in the store at all times that it was difficult to even ask for samples! Eventually I chose passion fruit, mixed berries, and meringue, rather than opting for the richer chocolates, since I had chocolate ice cream at the residence and I associate gelato with sorbet/light flavours/fruits.

Nearing dinner time, I returned to the meet-up site in hopes of finding some friends coming back from the waterfall. Instead, I didn’t see anyone and went to wander around some more. I went to the Citadelle and saw a bit of the Plains of Abraham (not exciting) and then went back to Old Quebec for a bit more. I found Megan and Jamie, and we were all quite tired from a day of walking around. I got a tea from a café since I was so tired, but then we made our way back to the buses an hour before our departure time to just rest. We took the cable car up from lower Old Quebec to the Chateau.

A lot of people slept on the bus back, exhausted from the day. Some people chose to sleep over, as there was a bus coming for them the next day ($20). I didn`t see the need to, so I just rested on the bus back. It was a long day, causing me to sleep in the next morning.

 

La deuxieme semaine

Lundi soir: I conquered my fear of singing in front of people! I actually hate karaoke since I’m so afraid of doing this, but I was able to get through Adele’s Skyfall without crying, running off stage, or even just not going up.

Mardi matin: Our presentation didn’t go so well, but I got 39/40 haha. The two groups who didn’t go on were bored, so we expected to get a low mark on that. Now I have time for doing the rest of my homework. One person quit the program because she didn`t like it. I don`t really see what`s not to like, other than the disorganization.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make things brighter. On my jog I saw a swingset and that caused a smile, but the view at the end of the trail was lovely. There was a bunny in our back yard and it stared at us for a little before hopping away. Receiving a compliment from my friend for my singing at karaoke was unexpected and super nice to hear!

Sushi Wednesday! There was only 5 kinds of rolls, and there were 7 of us. we had 4 of us eating one plate and 3 eating off another, and we ordered 3 rounds of the rolls and 6 of the side platters. Keya and I shared the choco-caramel fontane – it was heavenly. There was a miscommunication about the drinks: I thought the server said a non-alcoholic drink came with the meal, but it was actually that we had to buy a drink with the all-you-can eat. I did all the ordering and most of the talking with the server, and we spoke French most of the time. Our taxi group coming to the restaurant got blue cards for speaking French! Those are lotteries for speaking French and trying hard 🙂

  

Jeudi après-midi: In the chanson atelier our group got blue cards for winning the song-off!

Langues et travail (Languages at work): we’re finally getting information this week about the program! There’s pretty good chances, with about 33 students applying for 23 spots, and you need to have at least some ability in French in order to get the position. A number of people in the program don’t, so that works well for me 😉

Vendredi soir: we had a superhero themed party that night, in which it seemed less people than last time came out, but those who did were mostly very into the theme; most people dressed up and, ironically, the guy who was the <<supermarché>> won the giftcard to Loblaws/Provigo (the top prize for best costume).

All in all, a “normal” week.

Lundi, le 18 mai: Allons-y!

7:30am wakeup -> eat good breakfast and get things prepped for the day

8:30am get to the main UQTR building, Albert-Tessier, for the buses.

8:45am buses leave for Via Batiscan, for ziplining activities!!

We started off by splitting into smaller groups so that it’s easier to manage and faster to climb. I was in the same group as a few guys I’d met the previous day at volleyball, so it was better than not knowing anyone.

We went on two sections: the first was the best, in my opinion, as it had the 2 major ziplines across the river rapids! We started with a long zipline across to a tree course on the other side of the river, then did a few small ziplines with other activities like hopping from one wooden plank to another (always locked in, of course). Coming back over with another zipline was the end of that first course. It was really cool, but not so fun because of all the waiting/backup of members, since only 3 people were allowed on a tree dock at a time and one person on a course section at a time. The second section I made my way to be the first in line so that I could move faster, freer, and it was so much more fun! I actually caught up to the previous group and even had to wait for them.

That’s me!

Rivière Batiscan

Nebeyu on one of the most difficult parts

I made some new friends here, which was definitely good~

This was definitely worth the money ($45) and I’d do it again! It’s good to know that I’m not verrrrry scared of heights anymore 🙂
