With the arrival of Team Canada to the west coast, it seems as though the weather didn’t know what to do with us. We’ve had rain, thunder, sun, snow, hail, blizzards (ok I made the last three up) but the weather has been very bi-polar, which of course is no pathetic fallacy to the feelings and ambitions of team Canada. After I (sean) arrived at the airport, it seemed as though I had been unwittingly entered in to a game of pop culture Jeopardy. Our coach Mr. Poirier seem to be very worried about our teams lack of knowledge about pop culture so was testing us constantly, alluding to movies, songs and current events. It seems because of our age, and maybe our lack of interest in Charlton Hesston’s movies about eating old peoples that we seem to have initialed failed at this task. However today, Kierstin, our smallest and most courageous member fired back with a witty remark about number 2 from Austin powers which flew, as fast as capital from Jamaica after union formation over MP’s head.
After a delightful meal at a local Malaysian restaurant, the team retired to their respected houses, waiting for the next day to come. Awaking to the soft sounds of thunder and rain the team arrived to an amazing breakfast made by our hosts here at WPGA. After this point I don’t know how much I am allowed to say. All I can say is that we descended in the most secure bunker on the WPGA campus, apparently built incase of a Japanese attack on the city in world war two, to start prepping. After hours of working, crying, voice exercises, medieval torture practices, case construction, and debate, we emerged, shielding our eyes from the sun, which was out to greet us. We then ventured out; following the sound of Greek music to Greek days, where we had a tasty meal of you guessed it Greek food. After such a meal, we returned to our billets and are currently all working hard on the case. I mean, working hard on a top secrete project. Well I must return to my work. Good night.
