17 year old friends

Me and my roommate finally made some friends! On Saturday night we get a buzz. I thought it was the drying machine, but BR (British Roommate) opened the door to a young French girl.

She invited us to have pizza with her and her friends the student dorm across "campus". (Not that I understood what she said, BR translated)

About a month ago the same girl plus a guy had knocked on our door and invited us to a party which we couldn't make, and I had already eaten when she invited us so we told her we would be along later for drinks.

So we show up and there is a room full of 17 year olds. Okay not full, because it was a Saturday and the school dorms clear out, but there were about 7 kids.

17 year old friends are better than no friends!

So we end up chilling with them and at first its awkward but then we loosen up and it was fun! We did normal things, that are cross cultural, like watch funny YouTube videos and eat chocolate browines.

I showed them a clip from the film Bad cop, Bon cop, which is a Canadian dark-comedy about a murder that the Quebec and Ontario police must solve together. Its hilarious, have the movie is in French and half in English and it really shows the tensions and stereotypes of Quebec and Ontario.

For instance, the Quebec guy smokes, is hot and doesn't give a shit about regulations (hmm like the real French?) and the Ontario guy is very straightlaced and went to UCC (the best private school in Toronto). Anyways, I definitely recommend it.

These kids are all in this prestgious program which I have no idea what it's called but they make furniture. I saw a wooden chair this one guy made and it was super cool, it folded up and scooped your body perfectly. In high school. There rooms are super nice, nicer then ours! They have full length mirror, a study area with nice shelves, a long desk, and they are decorated with plants. For some reason every room had a lot of plants. They were all boys. I guess they like to garden? Maybe their mothers bought them the plants.

And then they showed us the rooms of other students and they are basically hostel-style dorms.

Apparently a bunch of privelleges comes from being accepted to this furniture program (I'm not sure it is a furniture program. Something to do with wood and making things.)

They also get their own kitchen and get to stay in the dorm during the weekend without supervision.

The girl isn't in this program, shes the principals daughter, so I guess she can also do whatever she wants.
