and I know that this is new like your first day of school.

It seems that things are falling into place quite nicely. I found a place to live come December 1st. I'm moving in with a friend of a friend. The apartment is right downtown (amazing location!!) the room is nice and big, lots of closet space, and the girl who is moving out is leaving me her bed and her desk. I don't even need to worry about buying any furniture. It's perfect!! Not to mention, the price is right.

The job search isn't going as well as I'd hoped. I applied at a temp agency. Basically what they do is they place you in different office jobs around the city as you're needed. The upside to this is that it keeps things interesting since you're changing jobs all the time. The downside is that I'm not really sure if I like working in an office. I'm thinking it might help me explore things I wouldn't otherwise think of trying. So who knows, maybe I'll love it. They haven't called me yet and I'm getting tired of sitting around waiting for a call.

2 weeks + no job = i feel useless

Not to mention I need to start saving up to pay first and last. I think that once I'm living downtown I'll just get a job serving at one of the amazing bars/restaurants near my apartment.

I'm very excited for this weekend. We've got some really fun stuff planned. I finally get to see the mountains up close. This is the reason I came down here in the first place. I'm sure standing in front of those huge peaks will make me feel very small and insignificant. We're also going to a shooting range. Yes, I'm apparently going to shoot a gun. I don't know how I feel about this but it might be fun. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures.

And on a final note. Last night while talking to my mom on the phone she reminded me that it's my birthday soon. There has just been so much happening in the last month that it completely slipped my mind.

22 years old. time flies

Until next time!!!!


"Let's fall deeper into sleep
And our dreams become fake reality
I wake, i hope.
I'm on my way, to a coast
Where I know the roads like the back of my hand
Familiar landscapes"

Dear Sylvie G,

I am so happy for you that you have found a place where you feel comfortable to call your home. It sounds as if Calgary is the place where you've longed to be. North Bay and Sudbury aint got nothing on Cowtown. Hope all is well babe. I miss you and I hope to see you soon. Who knows; I may, one day, get to call Calgary my home.
