This little rural village PEYge has hit the big city! Here I
am in Toronto, all checked in to my hotel (which has not one but TWO bathroom
sinks!) and ready for my orientation day tomorrow!
I had to pack some of the pieces of my uniform (my white
button up shirt, black belt with a silver buckle and black leather shoes with
no coloured stitching or buckles) because tomorrow they will fit me for the
rest of my outfit (my jacket, jabot and pants). The dress code at Queen’s Park
is very strict. I must always wear my uniform, my hair must be tied back with
black elastics/hairbands and I can’t have any jewellery, died hair, coloured
nail polish, hats or really anything outside of my actual uniform. Some people
might think this is a huge deal for 5 weeks but I’m kind of use to it since my
school has a uniform as well. Not quite as strict as this mind you, but still.
I’ll also have my photo taken tomorrow for my official
security identification! I’ll be given an ID tag to wear at all times. I’ll
also get a pin with my name on it that I will wear on my uniform jacket.
Tomorrow I’m anxious to learn more about the program
expectations. I will be tested on my knowledge of all the MPPs and their
ridings and the ministers (you know, the stuff I’ve been stressing about!).
What I actually can’t wait for is to meet the other students
who are going to be my fellow pages for this term. It’s going to be great to
meet other kids with similar interests from across the province.
One of the benefits of this trip to Toronto (and because my
mom wants to help me get my mind off of being nervous about tomorrow’s test) is
that I now get to go do some SHOPPING!
Look out Eaton Centre… here I come!
