First Post...and to think I never thought I'd start one

So...this is it. While I'm up and around PEI, I might was well write about what's going on here.

I'm working with Agri-Food Canada studying storage diseases of potatoes. It's pretty interesting, and stuff I've never done before. After this job, I'll never look at a potato the same way again. To think...I'm 22 years old, and have cooked plenty of times before. I always thought it was just dirt on those potatoes. Nope: it's fungus. Probably Helminthosporium. Yet, amazingly, after staring at mouldy potato after mouldy potato, I still will gladly eat french fries.

I'm staying with a nice family about forty minutes from work (an hour, if you take the bus). I live in the basement, between the computer room and the TV room. They feed me, and feed me well. They're also pleasant to talk with and sit down with for supper. The food's usually pretty good, and healthy.

A friend of Mary's (the woman of the house where I'm staying) took me to a church downtown. It's big, and there's a college study group there. I met one of the guys, and he lives nearby, as well as works full-time as well. It's good to finally meet someone close to my age here.

Hmm...I've got nothing else to say right now. This is the biggest update. I'll keep writing frequently. This could be fun.
