New Begginings..

Grocery shopping takes so much longer when you don't know the store, or haven't built up your own stores.

Stupid things rack up grocery bills, and suddenly I'm sweating over the price of Ziploc bags.

I have the blessing of living within a 5 block radius from a Loblaws (ie Superstore), Fiesta Farms (think halfway between Capers and Save On), and Street busy with independently owned small shops. Fresh is found easily, and best prices can be quickly compared, its ideal really.

My bedroom is nearing completion. I'm simply in need of a drill and level to hang my shelves and really get settled in. My room looks great thanks to my mom, IKEA and Homesense, the only downfall is the lack of natural light, fortunately there is a window that lets in fresh air.

So now, with a great pad, I am ready to set out and begin my journey...first day of school comes quickly.... more updates to come.....

T Dot...dot...dot...

I have arrived.

Random Thoughts...

I have traveled through so many cities as a visitor, knowing that my footprints would so soon be eroded by the hoards of folk whose paths would cross my own. But here, I realize that I am simply taking the first step of my just like it. The new subway route, that I will eventually sleepwalk through, finding the classroom that will become a second home, the new city that will become my own. I live here now, I dream here now, I happen here now... how strange it is.

I cried when I saw the first building that displayed "Ryerson" on the side of it, an iron affirmation that I had indeed made it..got in..stayed in...traveled..arrived...enrolled and now this is the vessel that will move me forward, and I couldn't be more happy that I have made it aboard.

And I am nervous beyond belief, nervous about independance, nervous about school, about really making this happen for myself. I am so sad, neausously sad, achingly sad to have left my nest, home, mom, family, friends, co-workers, students, loves, cafes, restraunts, Westcoast downpours, mountains, the sea bus, the sky train...and...and...

BUT

I realize that today is the first day of the rest of my life. For so long I have been dreaming, scheming of what the future holds for me but now I must leap, and reach for all the dreams that I have dreamed up.

I knid of like it here...
