</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These are my toys! I have Hamtaro rubber toys, and a space shuttle, and some playmobile animals, a rubber duck, a dinosaur, Kanga and Roo, my meerkat family, and my animals from the zoo! The poster in the back is of the 2010 Winter Olympic Mascots! They're names are Sumi, Quatchi, Miga, and Mukmuk! I have stuffed toys of them, but I'm waiting to get that box from Vancouver still, as some of our things are still at our old house. </div><br />

Contrary to popular belief, there isn't a creek there, and no otters. However, it's pretty, pretty school on the river! How cool is that!?<br />
<br />
Getting ready in the morning has been a pain. We just moved in last week, and I still am living out of my boxes. I didn't do a very good job packing when I was still in Vancouver, and some of my clothes were mixed in with toys. It's a mess!<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I finally settled on my warm jeans and Canucks shirt. I couldn't find my green high tops, so I settled for a pair of my flats. I put my panda twins in my bag, just in case I didn't meet anyone to talk to at school, and headed upstairs to leave.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In Vancouver, I rode a bus to school, but now I live close enough that I can walk! It was pouring, but rain doesn't bother me, and there were sidewalks all the way to school. My dad walked with me to make sure I got there safely, and I headed into the two story school all by myself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My teacher, Miss Ostrovsky, is really nice. She reminds me of Miss Honey from "Matilda". My class was very welcoming, but it still wasn't like home. I met some girls in my class, and some of them even invited me to eat lunch with them! One girl was really interested in my pandas (I knew I should have brought them!) and why I had an orca on my shirt. I told her all about hockey, and guess what - she thought it was cool! I'm going to eat lunch with her tomorrow, and maybe I'll remember her name. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was still raining when I got home, but not it's snowing! Maybe we'll have a snow day tomorrow! That would be nifty!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I'm Nora Francesca Foster. I'm a 10-year-old Canuck (that's what some people call Canadians...) who recently moved to Cincinnati, Ohio.<br />
<br />
Since I had to move far away, my mama let me get a blog to post what I'm up to and keep up with friends, while making new ones.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd start by introducing myself for my new friends. Like I said, my name is Nora, and I just moved to Ohio from Vancouver, Canada.<br />
<br />
I'm REALLY into acting, hockey, and animals. When I grow up (if I ever grow up) I want to be an actress or a zoologist. I think those would be nifty. My favorite animals are okapis, otters and moose, and my favorite movies are The Parent Trap, The Muppet Movie, Enchanted, UP, and Beauty and the Beast. My favorite hockey team is the Vancouver Canucks.<br />
<br />
I start my new school, Otter Creek Elementary, tomorrow. I'm really scared no one will talk to me or like me. My dad said I'll be fine, but the butterflies are still eating at my nerves.<br />
<br />
How do you handle the jitters when you're doing something new?<br />
<br />
Greetings,<br />
Nora<br />
