On My Own (except for an ankle biting cat)
Long time, no post. What can I say? Things have been busy, continue to be busy, and promise to remain so for the forseeable future (or the second week of June, whichever comes first). My beloved rommie moved out, headed back to Duncan for the summer, this past weekend. I spent most of said weekend helping her get her shit together and cleaning the place madly in preparation for my new roomie, who promises to be cool.
New roomie, henceforth referred to as NR, not because she doesn't have a name, but because I'm not sure if anyone in their right mind would want to be mentioned by name on my blog. Has a friend (friend of new roomie, FoNR) who is equally cool and is obsessed with Moe and normally lived in Ontario but is visiting our illustrious coast for a while. She is leaving for home on Friday, and so of course NR is making the most of FoNR's time here and is spending lots of time whale watching, drinking, shopping, and just generally being out of the house.
Long story short, I am mostly alone so far this week. I have had Tuesday and today completely off, no school, no committments, nothing. I have spent significant chunks of time biking around, to school, to the library, to China town for fruit and veggies, and some other bits of time walking and running (huzzah for delightful weather! I love being outside). I've managed to be fairly productive schoolwork wise. I've actually started enjoying puttering around the kitchen (no real cooking yet, but I like chopping things up...maybe I ought to consider surgery more seriously...) and keeping things tidy. I realize that with little to no social interaction (aside from my phone calls to Jon and the hour or so of socializing I get in with NR and FoNR and the time I spend at school with all my classmates (wait, solitude...what solitude?)) I'll go crazy pretty quickly, but for now, I'm liking this quiet, slower, restful version of life.
School is going well...we're all ramping up towards the end of the semester. I keep on ricocheting between feeling comfortably in control (I've got a handle on everything, I'm keeping up well, nothing to worry about) and downright panic (really, this is a lot of stuff I need to learn, exams are in less than a month now, I'm so screwed!). I'm enjoying things on the whole, but I haven't had any real breakthroughs lately. I'm just sort of gliding along, paddling enough to keep my head above water.
I am definately looking forward to summer. 3 months of part time work and full time relaxation! Just hope my brain doesn't atrophy too much!
