Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 4- Thursday: Day 15

I had to start at 9 this time as I would take a look at a set up for a certain event. My supervisor had to install lights. Sadly the crew ran behind so we had to sit and wait outside in order to start.
It was quite hot that day and of course I forgot my sunglasses. I met more crewmembers and one girl was really hyper and friendly. She also knew Dutch. The problem I am still encountering is that I don´t introduce myself, but the supervisor does it for me. This is something that I have to change in the future. Just going out there, saying Hi, I´m Christine. Nice to meet you.
I hardly spoke to them at first though. I had some comments, but that was it. They were talking about things I couldn't talk about. I went inside as it got too hot and had to help measure the light distances. Other than that I couldn't do much, but watch. It was quite a process. Two crewmembers were sitting up high to tie some stuff so they could get the lightbar up.
It took two hours total, but then we got invited to go for lucnh with the crew. The supervisor declined at first, but later did want to go so we drove to Mr Mikes.
I briefly talked to the girl who knew Dutch and she said that  Icould call her anytime and that I could join in some activities like rock climbing or camping as she knew how it is to be in a different culture.
Later we got escorted to the table and I ordered Mini Mr Mikes as I didn't want to have fries as lunch.
It was so good and also free as the leader of the crew paid for us all. So nice!
Sadly I didn't talk all at the table because they only talked about work at first. Kind of felt awkward sitting there, but I kept smiling.

After lunch we hurried home as the supervisor still had a lot to do. We tried to get the music videos working on the website, but of course that didn't happen. He spent hours on fixing that and got frustrated more everytime it failed. I had some suggestions, but at 7 pm I was also out of ideas.
When I got home I quickly warmed up Fettucine with cheese sauce and didn't do much the rest of the night. I gamed with a friend online and recorded auditions.
