My National Costume

I'm still excited about being able to wear my cold weather clothes here! Some of the students here are also my colleagues from where I normally work, and today, one of them was looking at me, and I could tell he was trying to figure out what was different about me.  Finally, he said, "You're wearing trousers!"  Even though I've worked with him for a couple of years, he's never seen me in a pair of trousers.  I got a bit tired of being cold during the day, so I decided to wear my trousers to the office and class this morning.  And even I felt a bit odd, literally covered from neck to toe!  And I just keep telling my colleagues who are quite puzzled at the change in my attire, and seeing that yes, I actually do have legs, that trousers, sweaters and socks are, indeed, my national dress.  It's what all Canadians wear, normally.  Except for in some places, in the summer.  Which I hear is the current season...

Tomorrow, I finally get to teach!  Unfortunately, I have also this evening caught a cold from someone that I'm sharing an office with :(  So hopefully, I will have a voice and a clear head to be able to teach tomorrow!  We're going to have lots of fun looking at how to check, publish and market health related literacy materials :)
