Where's the Car?

f you go to Halifax with Lucie "The Stone" Lapierre, you'll know when you start but you won't know when you'll get back to Mount Saint Vincent University—not because she met a beautiful person (unfortunately) but because she doesn't know where her car is. There is a good side to this adventure because you get to visit the city and all the small streets...

I must say that we were five "teenagers" and not "teachers" who didn't know where Lucie's car was. Happily, this story finished well and we came back safe and sound to the university.

My New Job
aturday morning, we went with Lucie G. on a trip to the beach. Ada was the co-pilot but not for a long time. After breakfast, we took the wrong road and we made a 130-kilometre detour.

Lucie fired Ada on the spot because she didn't do a good job: She dared to sleep on the job. We were supposed to arrive at noon but with the detour, we went to the beach at 3:00 o'clock instead. What a difference !! It was a snaky road.

I won the place in the front seat and the job to read the map. . . It wasn't easy with Lucie as the driver. Lucie is a champion of U-TURNS on the highway. I had the scare of my life!
