I'm not even going to bother explaining why I haven't written on here lately...I just haven't. It's not as if nothing note-worthy has happened in the last 3 months but I hereby declare that I will write more often!
I have just moved into my new (little) suite in Vancouver. It's a bachelor suite (which doesn't mean that bachelors are lining up at the door to take me out on the town...I should've read the fine print!) and it has everything I need. It comes furnished with a bed and a big desk and the landlords upstairs are a dream! They are so welcoming and lovely! My Grandma met me at the house to help me move in and before I even went downstairs to look at the place, we were invited to tea and had a great visit in the back yard (beside the hot tub!!). Not only that, they were going to invite me for supper on my first night if I wasn't going to G&P's so instead, they gave me some bread, a new jar of peanut butter and 2L of milk for the morning! I'd post pictures but I forgot my camera at home (I know, I know...) -- I'm getting it this weekend so I'll be able to share the love.
The other day, my cousin took me on a transit tour. She grew up taking the bus and since I'll be commuting by bus and leaving Gladys to rest, I thought it best I learn how to get around the city. We started at my place to figure how to get to school...a cool 14 minute walk to the bus stop and a 9 minute ride and we're there! Easy as that. I've discovered that I'll be walking a lot (and there are more hills than I've ever paid any attention to in the past) and that's a good thing because who knows if I'll have time for exercise between my tasks of colouring between the lines! ;)
Well, this is just the beginning and I'm getting ready for the ride!
Happy Canada Day!
