I have an appartment. It actually didn't take that long to find. It's $675 a month which is really cheap for Toronto and it's in a great neighbourhood (Davisville/ Mount Pleasant, if you're familiar with TO), ten minute walk to the Eglinton subway stop. We signed the lease the third day we were there and then went straight off to IKEA for 4 HOURS ( Read more... )

Today I finished my third long breakfast shift in a row. Long breakfast sucks, it's 7:45am to 1:30pm but you usually end up staying way longer without getting paid for it. It was actually kind of fun on Sunday except that I almost keeled over because David kept my up past 2am that morning and I got about 3 hours of sleep. I've been so tired after ( Read more... )

I'm back in the city for a bit. I might go to Toronto in, like, a week to find an appartment. I'm officially gone at the end of August. It creeps me out. I have a constant headache and weird flippy feeling in my stomach because I know I'm not here much longer. I'm so sad Amy's gone. I won't ever be able to call her up five days in a row and go out ( Read more... )

I'm back in the peg for the night. I came in at 4 for my appointment. Hehe, I've done a crazy thing. It's actually not that crazy, it's just change. Thai food rules. Amy, Kate and I took pictures around Osbourne, the Exchange and the Parliament buildings. Amy will claim we saw a street motorcycle gang stabbing each other in a back alley. She's ( Read more... )

It's July 1st. Summer's officially here. What happened? I feel like Christmas vacation just ended and now it's summer?!? I'm going to the lake in three days. I'm not as excited as I usually am. That's a shame because the lake's really fun. Whenever I'm doing any kind of meditation or relaxation exercise and I'm told to picture a happy, peaceful ( Read more... )

Goodbye ( Read more... )

I watched "Casablanca" tonight. It was excellent. I got to thinking about a list of "100 things I want to do before I die" that I typed up when I was 14. I remembered that seeing "Casablanca" was on the list so I checked it to see what else I'd done. Before, after I wrote it, I figured I should do three or four things a year, but after re-reading ( Read more... )

I went to the doctor this morning and she made me get a blood test. It was horrible. I'm very afriad of needles and though I tried my best to be calm and adult about it, I was freaking out on the inside. The stupid thing is that once I start freaking out, my veins collapse and they're really hard to find. As a result, the lab technician had to poke ( Read more... )

I'm still having trouble comprehending how much our lives are about to change once high school's over. There are so many things that I start to think about and it just blows my mind how crazy it is (like that there are over 6 billion people in the world and probably at least a third of them feel lonely). This future thing is the craziest though.

We pray for you to come ( Read more... )
