Oh boy.

What is this?

A post?

You thought I was dead?

Well, let me tell you about me.

A little over 5 years ago, I was a young 18 years old woman who needed an outlet. A free space to write down everything she was going through from having trouble getting out of bed in the morning to not knowing how to tell her crush she liked him. So, she started to write. It became a daily thing and then more like a weekly thing and after 4 years, a cegep and an undergraduate degree she started to feel too busy to write. She was also in this ‘I do what feels good’ mood and since writing felt more like a job she decided to give it a break. Truth be told, she’d like to say that after that she never looked back but she did. The thing was though that whenever she’d think of writing again, the anxiety of not being able to keep it up felt like too much again.

Today, she opened this site for the first time in months. She was just going to open old posts and see what she was up to years ago on this date because that’s always been what she liked about the writing the most; having the hability to go back to a moment as easily as openning facebook.

But then she got thinking... Why not give this another shot but with no presure. She’s aware she won’t keep it up. The Masters is taking too much time and the presure is not needed. But what if once a month she feels like writing about what’s been going? Would it be so bad?

So here I am. Picking this up again. I’d like to say I feel like not much has changed but I feel like that would be a lie. I finished my first masters semester, I am now much closer with a lot of my master’s friends. I got home less and less but some things have not changed. I’m still close with my family and my roommates, I still like to party and hang with my friends. And most of all, I still like to write. I’ve been putting my emotions into songs too which I like but I do feel like there’s nothing like a good Tumblr post. 

So yeah, to catch you up, not that much has actually changed. I celebrated Christmas with my family, developped many crushes, tried to go back on dating apps too many times to counts and just lived. I have just gone through the whole ‘Let’s find me and intership for the summer’ thing and it’s been some on the hardest times but now that it’s settled I feel much better.

I’ll be going out tonight. Because that’s become a thing I look forward too, weirdly enough. It’s an open bar pyjama party which kind of sounds like the best thing ever so I should be enjoying myself. Then it’s the start of a well deserved spring break although I’ll be catching up on school more than taking an actual break. I’ll try to catch you up on how that goes.

So here goes nothing. I might keep this up, I might never write again. I need this to be a safe space. Nothing more, nothing less.

Until next time, 

Whenever that may be,

L

It’s been all about the school stuff all day. I should actually say all weekend. And I should be doing more. But I just need a break and it’s getting late and fuck this shit. I have the right to a life right? (Ok, that makes it sounds a lot worse than it actually is, I just need a break and I’m trying to justify the fact that I won’t be openning my school stuff again before tomorrow morning).

So let’s take it back to Saturday, day of my first Master’s exam. I woke up quite early feeling extremely tired. With my cold, I just haven’t been able to sleep well. I took the bus to get to school about 1 hour before the exam started. My friend and I met up to study. It reassured me and stressed me out at the same time.

The exam started and it went alright. Not the easiest exam ever and mostly not at all what I prepared for. I got out second after over 2 hours of writing. I’m a little mad about the format, but I seriously don’t think I could have studied more so I got out feeling satisfied nonetheless. 

After that, I was crazy enough to walk to the gym, work out, walk from the gym home. Needless to say I was dead once back here. I showered, ate some leftoevers and started to studay for Sunday’s exam. Then, I started to fall asleep and had no choice but to settle down for a nap.

Once I woke up, I classified all of my notes for the next day’s exam (because yes, for this one at least we could have our notes) and I reread some texts. At 7pm I settled for dinner and decided not to touch anything relating school anymore. I went to bed as early as possible.

On Sunday, I did the same thing. I woke up early and got to school early. We got ready a little group of us and then came the exam. This one was a lot more fair. We could do it at the computer, it was exactly what I expected and it’s wasn’t too long. I was once again the first one to leave which feels wrong but it went ok so I won’t complain.

After that, I really wasn’t feeling good anymore. I had to wait for my friend to finish so we could work on a teamwork together but I didn’t see how I would do that. My brain hurt. She came a while after, I told her I wouldn’t stay long and I didn’t. We got the minimum done and I got home.

Once here, I prepared to meet up with my mom at the cinema. That’s what I needed. Getting there went well. FOR ME. My mom got in 10 minutes after the movie had begun. At least she came with pop corn for my soul. We parted ways right after the movie. We saw Maxime et Matthias. A french canadian movie that I really liked. 100% recommend.

I got back home after stopping to a grocery store on the way back (still do not know how I found the strenght to do that but I did. Then though I put on my pj’s and didn’t do much with the rest of my evening.

This morning, I finally slept in. Oh wait, nope. I had to wake up at 5:55am to choice my classes for next semester. I at least got what I wanted and went back to sleep right after. Thank the lord I got to sleep in a little after that. I took it easy in the morning, eating breakfast and then doing some school stuff.

I got to school for 12;30pm. We had a meeting for the interships. It was somewhat useless but at least it got me out of the house and into the beautiful sun. I also got to see my friends which was nice.

I got back here right after it was done and from then until 6:30pm I did some work. It was complicated but somewhat fun and time passed by in a blur. I ate dinner with my roommate and then we caught up a little longer in the living room. She showered, I showered, we chatted some more and now I’m closing my computer and taking some me time for the rest of the evening. I’ll also be watching the elections closely. Fingers crossed that I won’t have to move out of my country because fucking conservative got in. I cannot believe we could regress.

On this note,

Until next time, L

It’s been the midterms and I have been dealing ok?! At least I think. I strongly believe that right now my biggest source of stress is the fact that I am having my 2 first exams at the Masters tomorrow and Sunday and I am not stressed. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Anyhow, here’s how I’ve been prepping for this lack of stress. Because, legit, prepping is all I’ve been doing.

On Tuesday, after waking up quite early for someone who didn’t have class, I took my time to eat breakfast, get ready for the day, settled into comfortable clothes and I got into Q cards making. I’m still unsure if this will be the best strategy for any of my Master’s exams but it felt right to do it for the exam I have tomorrow. By noon, I had covered about half of the subjects and that’s when my friend arrived. She was coming over to study, of course. So we ate lunch and kept going until we had to make our way to school. Then, we studying with another friend and then we had a meeting for the optional classes. It wasn’t the most interesting thing ever but I do feel like I should have regreted not going if that would have been the case. 

After that meeting, my team and I for the pitch the next day stayed a little to finish that. It wasn’t worth any points but we could win 2 extra points and that felt worth about 1 hour of our time. Once we felt satisfied, two of them left and me and my 2 best friends from my class went out for dinner and a drink. It was cool to hang out outside of school and the food was good. One of them and I came back here and went to bed after practicing our presentation and taking it not so easy all evening.

On wednesday it was presentation day and I was stressed. My friend and I ate in the morning and took it easy and then we got to school. We practice with my team and had to confront one of the guys. He hadn’t really been around, didn’t do much and we felt like we needed to address this. It legit took any energy that I had left out of me but then I kept going and class started. We ended up equal with another team for the pitch so we got our 2 bonus points and the presentation with my team went well. It turns out I learned yesteday that we even got the best grade and I am very happy about this. After class, I came back here and took it easy. I just felt too dead to do anything.

On Thursday I woke up early once again and got going with my studying. I feel like I got a lot done in the morning. It was a rainy day and so not motivating and yet I felt like shit was getting done and that was cool. In the early afternoon, I braved the rain and the cold and got to school. I studying in the library with friends for a while and then we had a coaching session with the teacher from Sunday’s exam. It felt nice and reassuring to hear from her abou the exam. I got back here after that and once again didn’t do much. I crashed really early and yet could not fall asleep. At least once I did, I slept well.

That’s probably why it wasn’t too hard to wake up this morning. I ate breakfast and found courrage to go to the gym. I then came back and showered and spoke with my europe friends. All of that gave way to a very productive afternoon. I learned all of my Q cards, revised a lot and even got two other side work done. I ate a good dinner alone and chilled for a while. Now it’s getting late and I’ll be showering and going to bed because a good night of sleep is what I need at this point. Wish me luck for tomorrow. I legit have no idea what to expect.

Until next time, L

The. Past. Week. Has. Been. So. Fu.King. Bu.Sy. How are we halfway through October already? Why are the leaves falling? Why is it getting cold? WHERE IS TIME GOING? Yep, this is what is going through my mind lately.

Let’s take it back all the way to Monday which was a busy day. It started off with me being motivated enough to bring my little ass to the gym in the cold, walking on my own. The work out went fine and was motivating. It also allowed me to get to school for my 2pm class feeling a lot more concentrated which was a plus. That class was other team’s presentations and it was interesting AND passed by fast which was great. I then got back to the flat, had 1 hour to finish my ratings of the teams that had passed in class and eat dinner only to leave again. Then I was my roommate and we met up with some other friends at a venue and we saw fucking Lewis Capaldi and it was amazing. I cannot express into words how this dude singing makes me feel but it was insane. He sang all of his songs, he was funny, he was great and I loved every goddamn minute of his show. It also ended early which allowed me to be in bed not too late.

Tuesday was drainning. I got to school for 10:30am (thank god it wasn’t at 9:30am) which allowed me to sleep in a little. Then started the most long and boring class ever. The teacher had asked us to come prepared and yet she read the power point for 2 hours straight. Then came lunchtime which we spent outside in the sun and that at least made me feel better. Then came the teamwork which was better then 2 weeks ago but it’s always so fucking draining it makes no sense. Plus this time it ended at 5:30pm and by the end we all wanted to diiiiie. Back here, I took it easy and after dinner I got into video watching for my morning class the next day. I did in all in order to go to the gym.

On Wednesday I was once again quite motivated to walk and go to the gym alone. Then, I had to rush and get to school for 12:30pm for a team meeting. One team member didn’t show up but the rest went fine and we got things done which was cool. That afternoon class was once again interesting. I swear she is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Once this was over, I dropped my things in a locker and met up with my friend. We ate together while catching up and then we met up with another friend. We then all got to the Center to see 5 Seconds of Summer and Chainsmokers. IT WAS INSANE. Not in the same way as Lewis but the show was just unbelievable. I danced my ass off, sang so loud and had so much fun I just cannot regret going. It was the night of my life, quite litterally. I came back home somewhat late, chilled in the living room for a while and then it was midnight and IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.

On Thursday, I didn’t do much. I had videos to watch once again and I chilled until my 2pm class, just answering people’s birthday wish. My class was fine. It passed by fast and it was nice to see everyone wishing me a happy birthday. After class, I took the metro and met up with my parents. They picked me up and we went out to celebrate. We first took drinks and then we ate delicious food. Everyone was in a great mood and I just loved to spend time with them. I got back to the flat not too late and watched the last Jane the Virgin with my roommate. Yes, we did that on my birthday. Then, I went to bed not too late.

On Friday, I got up and guess what? Walked to the gym! It was a good gym week! The workout went fine and then I got back here, showered and prepared for my evening. I was having people over. So, I cleaned, cooked and prepared a playlist. People started to show up at 6:30pm and then kept coming until 10pm. Most of my favorite people were there and it was great. We played games, caught up, laughed and had fun. At 1am, only 4 of us decided to go out. We went to this club near by. Not really my scene but it was nice to go out and have fun. We danced some more and finally went to bed it was close to 4am.

I slept in on Saturday and then everyone left. I had a little incident with my roommate that I still don’t want to talk about but which led to a great panic attack. It had been a while. From then on my day was meh. I went to the grocery store with one of them after it got better and I stayed in. I got ready for my evening eventually and then I drove to my show. Yes! ANOTHER ONE! This time, I saw Noah Kahan. I might have seen this boy quite a few time in the past year, it was still amazing. He is such a great singer and he amazes me everytime. I loved it. After the show, my day wasn’t over. I drove to some family firned’s house and joined the party. They were all quite drunk though so it was difficult for sober me to join them. I ended up leaving at 1am and got home very tired.

On Sunday, I woke up at my parents’ house. I ate breakfast quite late since I slept in and then I took it easy. I went voting and did a lot of school work. In the evening, I had my birthday dinner with my family. My brother didn’t show but my friend yes. We ate delicious food (thanks mom) and had some fun. She got me a game which we tested and then we watched this tv show. She left it was getting late and I went to bed.

This morning, I took it easy and then rushed to drive back to the city. I got here faster then I thought and ate lunch before getting to school. It might be thanksgiving in Canada but school doesn’t give a fuck. I had a team meeting. It was somewhat productive and I got back here on time for dinner. I made some left overs from last night and ate alone. I then watched some tv shows and cleaned up. I have now showered and I,ll be going to bed early to wake up early and be productive tomorrow. Wish me luck, it is now offically the midterm and it is getting CRA.ZY.

Until next time, L

I am currently just waiting for this tv reality show that I’m watching to become available on the Internet so that I can lock myself out in my bed and watch it. Until then, I’ll be catching you up on the last week.

Last Tuesday was my only day off of the week. We didn’t have a class but we do have a report due in about 1 week so my team and I decided to meet up at the library at 10:30pm to work on that. It actually ended up going really well. Contrary to the first time that we worked together, we seemed to have good communication and it was fun. I liked everyone on my team and time passed by real fast as we figured out what to write about. Once that was done, I got back home, ate lunch and drove to the cinema to meet up with my mom.

We met up and saw Ad Astra. We went because there was no other movies that seemed interesting but I didn’t hate it. It had a powerful message and a nice storyline even if it felt slow at times. Truth be told though, I was mostly happy to see my mom. After the movie, we went to walmart to buy a few things and we ended our evening having dinner together which we rarely do. It was great to catch up and I even got home not too late. I could not have asked for better.

On Wednesday, I had to get to school for 9:15am. It was a pain in my ass but I made it on time. Class was long and somewhat boring but it passed by. During lunch, I ate with some friends from class and it was nice. Days like those are exhausting because then you have to get into another class and concentrate once more. Thank god that this teacher is the best and that that class was actually super fun. We had an activity on estimations. We needed to build a plane in legos and guess more or less how much time it would take. I ended up with my friends and two other dude I don’t necessarily know well but it was nice nonetheless. We even ended up winning so we got some candy. It was a great class.

After that, there was a cocktail planned but everyone felt dead so we canceled. I got back home to find my roommate not feeling too well so I spent the evening with her. We talked, went to the grocery store and just chilled. I went to bed eventually.

On Thursday, I slept in a little and then made my way to the gym. I worked out and it went just fine. Then, I wanted to take the bus to get back but my friends from europe wanted to catch up and it was easier to just walk the way home and talk to them as I did so. So I did just that. We caught up for about half an hour and then I showered and ate lunch before making my way to school.

As my friend said, it’s a good thing we have each other in that class. It was boring but we made it fun. The fact that everyone participated made the class a lot more dynamic and I ended up not seeing the time pass by.

After that, I got back to the flat. I waited for my roommate to come back and all 3 of us went out for ice cream. It’s getting cold but the place near by released an apple and cinnamon ice cream and we NEEDED to try it. It was delicious, as expected.

After that, I packed up my stuff and drove to my parents’ place. Pizza and tv shows with my mom was awaiting me. I went to bed not too late.

On Friday, I did homework all day because I needed to get shit done. I went out once with my mom to pick up fruits and vegetables and get a coffee. At least, I had something planned in the evening. I got to my friend’s place at 5pm, we went out for dinner and then we saw Dean Lewis. There were 4 of us and we arrived quite late so we weren’t close but it was great nonetheless. The sounds was great, the crowd too and I just loved my evening. Definitly loved it more than the first time and it totally changed my opinion of him. I didn’t regret going.

On Saturday, I woke up early to go for breakfast with my parents and my grandmother. She was happy we took her out and it was cool to have a moment with all of them. I only wished my brother could have come. 

For the rest of the day, I took it easy working on my things. I also went to the grocery store with my mom and did some errands. We ate dinner all together and I drove back to the flat late in the evening. I unpacked, showered and went to bed because I needed to wake up early this morning.

I did because I had a class. Yup, a Sunday class. We’ll have 3 weekend classes throughout the semester and this was the first one. It was fairly easy and interesting but just way too long for what we learned. Once again, I say thank god we had each other.

In the evening, I wanted to invite people over but we were all too tired. I got back here, finished a homework, and cooked dinner. I ate alone cause none of my roommate are here and then I just chilled. I now just for out of the shower and I’ll be heading into my bed to watch this said tv show. Wish me a good night of doing nothing after such a big day.

Until next time,

September 30, 2019

Good news is, I have now officially written more in September than I did in August. Not that August was in any way hard to beat but we’ll keep that aside for now and focus on the positive.

This weekend has been exactly what I needed and so much fun but before I left for the weekend in a chalet with almost my entire class, I needed to get through some more homework on Friday. And I did just that. I woke up after sleeping in just a little and got going on the readings. I also had to get eveything ready for the trip so all day long I alternated between finishing up school work and getting ready to leave. At 5:40pm, once I was done with everything that needed to be done and once I was showered and all ready to leave, my new class friend came around and we drove to our other friend’s place. From there, we picked up some food and snacks and alcohol and we drove the almost 2 hours to get to the chalet.

Once there, we got to settle in our room. We were sharing it the 3 of us. Then, we started to sip on some alcohol and the evening got going. We caught up with everyone, danced and shitload and bounded with people we never thought we would bound with. It was a great evening filled with laughs and games and fun and we went to bed at past 4am.

On Saturday, we obviously slept in. We got woken up by someone screaming that there was only 15 minutes left for breakfast. At least they had thought of everything. There was eggs and baccon and toast and coffee and gaterade. Everything you might need. That helped us get the day started. In the early afternoon, we went on the smallest hike ever around the place and then we sat down outside to chill for a while. We ended our afternoon with a little spa with some people from our class and then took a nap before getting started for another evening.

This time, after having played games and eating dinner, we started to drink again but it was a lot more soft. We played some more games and stayed seated just chatting. Our class ended up being the ones staying up the latest just chatting in the common area and bounding. It was actually so nice I could not have asked for better.

We went to bed near 3:30am again and this time my cought kept me awake for a while. Waking up feeling more sick than ever on Sunday was hard but it was sunny and the drive didn’t seem too bad. So, after eating breakfast and saying goobye to everyone, we got going. It was 2pm by the time I finally got home. The flat was empty so I just read and watched videos. My roommate came back as I was eating so we ate together. I took it easy in the evening and didn’t go to bed too late.

Waking up this morning, I still felt like shit. I got ready for my day and read for a while before my brain couldn’t take anything anymore. My roommate was sick too leaving us both chilling on our asses in the living room. At some point, our other roommate who’d been gone 2 weeks now came back. We caught up as I ate lunch and then I had to get to class.

By then I was feeling better so it wasn’t too bad. The class was short since it was just presentations from our classmates. We took advantage of this at the end to get started on a teamwork. It doesn’t seem too bad so far.

I got back to the flat feeling tired. I ate dinner with my roommate while catching up some more and now I’ve just been getting things done. I will be going in the shower soon and taking it easy for the rest of the evening since my weekend is still affecting me. It was definitly worth it though.

Until next time, L

September 26, 2019

So, it did take me a few days to get back on here but a few days is definitly me getting better. So let’s celebrate. WHOUP HOUP!! Also, I’ve been busy for real and for good reasons (like school and working out). Here’s a slight recap of what I’ve been up to.

On Tuesday, it was my only actual class of the week. And it was one heck of a class. I got to school on time for the 10:30am time that the teacher set (I really do appreciate that she starts 1 hour later) and then we got started. I was fine at first but as the class went along I started to feel more and more tired and I started to zone out. By lunch time, I already felt drained. 

In the afternoon, after having lunch with friends, we at a workshop. We got paired up in random teams and even though mine was fun, it wasn��t the most productive. What we presented at the end wasn’t really good and I just felt like I didn’t have control over anything as the class went on. It really wasn’t the best and it was drainning.

So, after class, when my friend and I made our way back to my place, we both decided that we would take it easy for the evening. She was coming over for the first time and it went perfectly fine. We had dinner right when we arrived, both submitted what we needed to submit that evening and then just chilled. So much that we went to bed at 1am. It was nice getting to know her out of school and we had a really good time.

On Wednesday morning, we woke up after sleeping in slightly. We ate breakfast and then we got started with the online classes. We had to course to do and we did both until mid afternoon. Then, we ate a little, went to the grocery store (she was nice enough to come with me) and we went for an ice cream. By the time we were back, she had to leave to catch her train. I walked her to the station, came back and ate dinner.

In the evening, I ended up going running. I should have gone to the gym after my friend left but I didn’t have the motivation. Running felt good. I still cannot believe I didn’t even want to run a few months back and now I’m running in the street and minding my own business it’s awesome. I pushed myself hard and did more than I usually do. I came back feeling drained. I watched a tv show and went to bed.

This morning, I slept in a little again and then I got my day going. I ate breakfast, did laundry and got started with my online class. Turns out there were so many videos to watch it took forever. I was finally done it was 4pm. I worked on a homework for a little bit and then I headed to the gym.

It was ‘tryout thursday’ and it was full. So, I did more elliptic and then did my usual work out before walking back to the appartment. I came back it was close to 8pm so I ate dinner and caught up with my roommate once she came back from her volleyball. We chilled for a while, I showered and now she’s gone out and I’ll be heading to bed. 

The weekend will be busy since we are going at the chalet with my schoolmates so I’ll have to have a productive day tomorrow. I’m sad that I’ll have to stay in because it’s the walk for the environment but school comes first right?

Until next time, L

September 23, 2019

I know I said I was going to write more and yet here I am one full week later. To my defense, as mentionned in my other post, my grandfather had just past away and the funerals were this weekend. So I never really felt comfortable writting. Now that I’m back at the apartment and getting back to a normal routine, here I am again.

The past week has been heart warming and sad at the same time. Before I went back home to my family though, I still had two full days of school to go through. 

Tuesday was fine. My tuesday class starts at 10h30 which is always fun because it gives me a little extra time in the morning. Then, I got to school and class was actually fun. We exchanged about the learnings we did and then in the afternoon we analysed or psycho and socio ways of being. I like it a lot (it’s been making me think for the past week) and it also ended a little earlier. Back here, I took it easy in the evening.

On Wednesday, both classes were fine. The one in the morning was mostly presentations that were improvised. God knows I still hate those but a lot of people told me it didn’t show and it actually didn’t go too bad. Plus the class after that passed by fast. Then came lunch which we used to do a little team work. Then came the last class of the day and that went well. I was nice and it passed by fast. That teacher is definitly my favorite so I quite liked it.

In the evening, I got back to the flat, got some things done and ate dinner. Then my roommate got back in and so we chatted for a while and I ended up leaving for my parents’ place quite late. Yes, I was already going back because it was going to be a big weekend and I was going to have to get things done.

And that’s exactly what I did on Thursday. I woke up early and got things done. Generally, it went really well. In the evening, I had an hair appointment. I got my hair died blond again and cut it to my shoulders. I like it a lot, still amazes me how great my hair dresser is. I came back quite late and went to bed.

On Friday, I had to be productive in the morning. That’s what I did. Then, in the afternoon, I did some more but also had to get a usb to my dad that was at the exposition for my grandfather. I met again with them for dinner. We went out part of the family and then I stayed in the evening for the exposition. It was hard to see him but a lot of people came and that warmed my heart. One of my best friend also showed up and stayed most of the evening and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let her know how thankful I was for that. We went out for a drink with some of my parents’ friends after and then I went to bed.

On Saturday it was the official funerals. That part was hard. My cousin picked me up and then we had to practice what we were going to be doing. The whole thing was beautiful and I didn’t cry as much as I thought I would. Then we had the lunch all together and we ended up meeting again at my grandmother’s house with just our close family. We burried him in the afternoon and then all hung around some more. I ended up leaving at 5pm quite late because I needed to drive back to the flat, to meet up with my friends and then we were seeing Bad Suns near by. At first I felt like it was too much but the second they came on stage it became exactly what I needed. They were insane and I danced so much my feet hurt. I was also with two of my best friends which made me feel much better. I went to bed late with one of them after we chatted for too long.

On Sunday, we took it easy. My friend slept in until 11pm and I caught up with my roommate during that time. Once she was up, we went out for brunch which was insane. In the afternoon we went for ice cream. Overall, we didn’t do much but just not being alone felt good. She didn’t leave too late but I just hung around for a while and took it SO easy in the evening it made no sense. But, that is exactly what I needed.

Today, I slept in a little and then I got ready for my day. I got a reading done, got ready and got to school. I was meeting up with my team for a teamwork. We were super productive and actually got a lot done in a lot less time than we thought we would need. We had a meeting at 2:30pm with the teacher to talk about it and it went well. I got to come home after. I chilled here and got things done schoolwise and then I prepared dinner. I made springrolls and my roommate came back just as I was starting to eat. We ate together and then ended up chilling together for way too long. We laughed and laughed and went for a walk and got into deep talking and it was nice. I love little moments like these. We came back and it was getting so late and I just showered and now I should be going to bed so I’ll be taking it easy and just try to get some sleep.

Until next time,

September 16, 2019

Apparently I wasn’t kidding when I said the last time I wrote that it would probably be my last time in August. Truth is, it ended up being my last time for over a whole month. I would like to appologize for that but seriously my life has been so crazy I wouldn’t even know where to start. When I last wrote, I was still at my internship. That litterally feels like a lifetime away. So much as happened since then that it feels crazy to think that this was only a month ago. 

I will not be going into details about every single day. Obviously that would take too long and not only that, I would not even remember the details. Also, truth be told, I could have written a little before today since life settled down but I was always scared of having to do the catch up. So this will be it, plain and simple and then I will hopefully start writing more again, at least enough so I don’t have to catch you up each time.

The end of my summer vacation was great. I had a last emotionnal week at my internship and I also had to take care of my friend coming from the netherlands to visit. It was hard to balance both as I wanted to spend time with the people at work and with my friend but I think I managed. We had the end of internship evening and it was nice. I basically secured an internship for next summer if I want to which was cool. I also got to go eat with my fellow interns that last week and with my coworkers on my last day. It was hard to say goodbye but I had too eventually. We still keep in touch a little though, I actually just caught up with one of them yesterday. 

Once I was done with that, it was time to finish my report. That took a whole day and then it was packing time. We left for Alberta on August 24th. It was me and my friend from the netherland and my friend from here and we were meeting up there with my roommate. The week there was awesome. We got to visit places I had never been to, revisit some of my favorite spots and just have fun. It got complicated at times to be 4 peoples all with different needs and desire but overall I have to say it was the best way to end my summer.

After coming back to Quebec, my friend from the netherlands left and I went back home to my parent’s place for the weekend. School was about to start and so I litterally didn’t do anything. I wanted (maybe even needed) to just do nothing and chill. I also wanted to be as stress free as possible to start this new chapter of my life. Thank god for my mom who shopped with me before starting and kept me sane.

Then came the Masters. I got back to the flat and hit the first meeting on Tuesday the 5th. I met a few people and the program seemed nice. Then came the actual start of classes and it hit me like a brick. I actually had to take a whole 3 hours just to organize my calender. Bottomline is it is and it will be probably the hardest thing I have ever done but it is oh so interesting and I feel like it will open so many doors for me it’s crazy. Also, the people I’m with are just so nice. It was hard at first but now I have settled into some kind of a routine and I like it. I’ve just started week 3 today and I’m getting there. It’ll be a challenge I know that but we support each other so much that I feel like it makes it 100 times better. I do feel like I can do it.

In other news, my grand-father passed away this weekend. It’s been weird. I don’t think I quite realize it just yet. It’s like I forget and then it hits me all over again. The funerals will be this weekend. That will probably be the hardest. Hopefully I make it out intact. So this post is actually dedicated to him and his great life. Here’s to going after you want and never giving up. That is exactly what he did and he led a beautiful life.

So I think that’s what’s been up. Obviously a lot more happened on a day bassis but it would take too long to catch up. I’m glad to be back but I also feel like I needed this break to take control of my life once again.

Until next time (hopefully soon),

August 13, 2019

Oh lord. This is only the second time I write in August and it might be the last. With my friend from the Netherlands coming in tomorrow I don't know how much I'll get to write. Anyway, I'll do my best.

Wednesday the 7th,

Wednesday was pretty ordinary. I went to work, did my things, enjoyed my time there and went to the gym. My workout went well and I came back to the appartment where my roommates were. I ate dinner and then me and my roommate watched an episode of Jane before I went to bed.

Thursday the 8th,

In Thursday I could have written but I didn't have the best day. My anxiety was at its worst and I got into a conflict at work. My coworkers were supposed to come visit the farm, they cancelled, my parents were pissed, I felt stuck. I came back to the flat after the gym feeling drained. I had the whole place to myself so I read a little, watched a tv show and enjoyed my time to try to cool down.

Friday the 9th,

On Friday, things got better at work. My coworker that's the closest to me was nice and even offered I finished early. I ended up only leaving at 4pm but at least I felt better. I got back home at my parents' place and my friend arrive a few minutes later. My parents also had friends over and we ate corn and sausages all together in the solarium. My friend and I then watched a movie alone in the living room and got to catch up a bit more. It was a nice evening.

Saturday the 10th,

On Saturday, I had to get to Kingston to meet up with my friend from the Netherlands. I wasn't feeling good, full of anxiety still and the thought of driving 7 hours alone in two days scared me to the point of panicking. My parents were good though and helped me get ready. I left with my grandmother's car since my is broken and got there before my friend did. The road went fine, thank God. We then settled in at our hotel and spoke with our other friend. We went out to visit the city center and came back to our room with dinner and games. We called it a night early. It was cool to be reunited.

Sunday the 11th,

On Sunday, we woke up, got breakfast from the hotel, packed up and went on a cruise. It was cheesy but fun. It lasted for 3 hours which was maybe a little too much but I enjoyed it. Then, we had lunch and I started my long drive home. I got back it was 6:30pm and I was drained. Thank God dinner was ready. I went to bed early.

Monday the 12th,

On Monday, work went fine. I was back on track with my coworkers and got assigned a few small interesting projects. The day passed by fast and then I hit the gym. After the gym, I left in a hurry to pick up my roommate near by. We drove back to my parents' place. She was sleeping over because we were maybe having a hot air balloon ride this morning. We ate dinner with the family, she visited the farm and then before settling for sleep we watched a Jane. It was nice to be with her and let her see my environment.

Tuesday the 13th,

Waking up this morning at 4:30am was both hell and super exciting. We got ready and left by 5am to get to the site. It was my roommate's birthday and hence the best birthday gift ever. We made it and we're pretty sure it would work out. But then it got darker and darker and after 1 hour and a half they canceled our flight. We were all sad. Plus, my family was going for breakfast instead but I had to drive my roommate back and head to work. At least my coworkers didn't say a thing about the fact that I was late and I got to work. I asked if I could go out for lunch with all of the intern which we did and my boss said yes. So, for almost 2 hours I was gone with my favorite interns at a restaurant. My lunch wasn't really good but I was in good company and I was glad we did this. I got back feeling tired but ready for the afternoon. I did my things and time passed by. I left at 5pm to catch up on my time a little and drove back home to my parents' place. YES AGAIN. I didn't feel like being alone and both roommates were out so I decided to come home. I hung around with the parents for a while and then we ate dinner. We went out for ice cream after and now I'm all showered and we're about to watch a tv show before I head to bed. This good night of sleep will be needed after such a short one last night.

Until next time,

August 6, 2019

Argh, I suck at this lately. This summer has litteraly passed by in a blur and days blend into each other and then I just never write. It’s a curse I think. Or maybe a blessing. In a way I like to see as I’m too busy having fun to be writing and yet I still find time at least once a week to update you so it ain’t the end of the world, right? RIGHT?

Anywayyyyy, the past week has been nice. On Tuesday work was fine. I was busy in the morning but then had nothing left to do in the afternoon so I kept on working on my intern report. It wasn’t the most interesting thing to do but it did feel good to be making progress with this. After work, I drove straight to the flat. With it still being construction week, there was no one of the roads and I got home earlier than usual. I got to enjoy my roommates company BEFORE dinner and then we ate poutine all together with my parent’s cheese. We kept going with the roommate night by going to get an ice cream and then going to the grocery store before getting back here. I even had time to settled in for a Jane with one of the two roommies. The evening turned out really fun and more than I could have wanted.

On Wednesday morning, I worked on my report again. I knew I had work coming in soon so I didn’t want to ask for more and I liked to have the opportunity to get a little bit of this done so it all fell perfectly. I did indeed get quite a lot of job coming in in the afternoon so the rest of the day passed by fast. After work, I went to the gym. So, I came back later and then I ate dinner and it was already getting late. I watched a Jane with my roommate and showered and went to bed.

On Thursday, work was fine. I had things to do and it passed by fast. I also went to Costco with my coworkers during lunch which was fun. I like getting to know them more. At 4pm, I was allowed to leave and so I drove home and got ready for an evening somewhat out. I ate toast quickly to fill up my stomach and then I took a drink and we were one our way to Air Co. We’ve been a couple of times but this time was the best. I was with my roommates and her friends and it was warm and sunny and fun. I saw a few people from work too which was nice. We left a little before 9pm and overall it was exactly the evening I needed. We came back to the flat after and I chilled with them until it was time to head to bed.

On Friday, well it was Friday and I was excited. The day passed by fast and I finished a little earlier since it was Friday. I didn’t have any plans for the evening though. I legit tried to hang out with every single friend I could think of and no one was available. But the evening  turned out nice. Both of my roommates were out and so I had the flat all to myself. I read outside for a while, ate dinner while watching videos, played the ukulele and the piano, showered and cleaned my bedroom and vaccum cleaned the whole appartment, watched a few tv shows. With all that, the evening passed by fast and was really fun.

On Saturday morning, I slept in, prepared breakfast and chatted with my friend from europe that just landed in Canada today. She had a few last minute questions and then we ended up talking for over 2 hours. Then, I got ready for my day and my friend arrived here. We ate lunch while catching up and then our other friend arrived. It was really cool. We chilled for a while, went out to Lush and David’s tea, just chilled some more, took some pictures, hung around, ate dinner all together outside and then chilled in the living room. We called it a night it was 9pm but it was perfect. Then, I drove to my parent’s home to be there on Sunday. Once home, there was no one so I called and they were at some friend’s near by. So, I drove to meet up with them and it was really cool. We ate dessert by the fire and i chilled with the kids. Everyone was in a good mood. I came back home it was past midnight and went to bed.

On Sunday I took it easy. I hung around, read a lot and just chilled with my family. I hadn’t seen them in a while so it was cool to catch up. I went to see my grandparents too and then in the evening we did a dinner for my brother’s birthday. His girlfriend was there and we sat down and stayed at the table until past 10pm which my brother never does. Everyone was in a good mood and it was cool. He seemed to like his gift and I was happy to make him happy. I had to go to bed eventually but it was a nice evening.

On Monday, the day passed by fast. I had a lot to do and it was cool stuff. After work, I met up with my mother at the cinema. We went to walmart for 2 seconds because I needed a few items and then we went out for dinner. We shared a pizza and got to properly catch up which was cool. I had had an evaluation at my internship that day and it was only good news and nice comments and advises so I was eager to tell her all about it. Then, we saw Yesterday. It’s been out for a while but it was nice. We were the only ones in the room which was cool. I drove back to the flat after the movie and went to bed after getting things ready for today.

Today was another typical day that also passed by fast. I’m still working on that same fun project which is nice. I enjoy it. After work, I went to the gym and then I drove home. It was super fast to get back here. Once here, I prepared dinner and jumped in the shower while it cooked. Then, I ate while catching up with my roommate but she had a friend so they ate outside together and I was left alone to clean up after myself. Then, I prepared everything for tomorrow and now I’m writing this and I cannot wait to end and be able to read a little. My book is good and I want to keep going.

Until next time, L

And once again it took me a few days to realize I had been forgetting to write. Yep, I just forgot I had to. Good news is summer is ending soon and hopefully I’ll get on a more regular schedule. Until then is it still summer and fucking hot outside. Thank God for the AC.

The past few days have been busy but oh so good. Work on Thursday was busy as the whole entire week was. The day passed by very fast and I ate with my collegues which was different from the usual. At the end of the day, I drove to my friend’s place. I had all of my things to stay over there. We were at her dad’s house but he was away so we had the whole place to ourselves and it was so nice. We went to the grocery store, made dinner together, drank some sangria, chilled by the pool and ended the evening with an ice cream. It was still so warm outside which made it perfect. I slept really well in an empty bedroom and spent a really cool evening with my friend.

On Friday, I was closer to work so I took my time having breakfast with my friend and getting ready. I got to work on time and I do have to admit Friday was a little slower. It still passed by fast and I had lunch with just my close friend which turned out really cool. We hadn’t seen each other at all that week so catching up was nice. I left work barely earlier and drove back to my parent’s place. There, my order to books had arrived so I got to reading a little. I ate dinner alone and at close to 9pm drove to my friend’s place who’d just finished working. We caught up and eventually another of our friend arrived. I had not seen him in a while so it was cool to catch up. We went to the pub for not even that long and I barely drank but it was still very cool. He drove us back to my friend’s place where we ate cheese sticks while still catching up. We ended up going to bed at 2am.

On Saturday, we walked to a restaurant for breakfast. It was hot outside so we were sweaty but the food was great and eating outside felt amazing. I left after breakfast, got home, changed and left to meet up with another friend. Together, we went to an expo. It was relax and we didn’t stay that long but my mom had had free tickets so we didn’t care too much. We spent some time together and in the sun and it was cool.

I got back home after grabbing an ice cream with that same friend. Then, I went in the pool with my parents and we ate dinner together. It was cool to take it easy and be with them. We also visited my grandparents and watched a lot of our current tv show. I also ended up helping my dad at the farm which was nice since he seemed really happy I had helped. I went to bed eventually, not too late.

Sunday morning, I took is easy. I woke up to a delicious breakfast made by my mom. Then, I went grocery shopping with her and I packed up all of my things. I drove to the city but to my friend’s place first. I put my groceries in her fridge and we caught up. We chilled in her bedroom for a while until her roommate had to leave for work (she’s also one of my friend) and we decided to go with her and grab a coffee there. Then, we went back to her flat and ordered dinner. I ended up leaving it was getting late but I had lots of fun. Once here, I unpacked, showered and went to bed.

This morning, it was hard to wake up but I made it through. I got to work in record time and got to work right away. I didn’t have LOTS to do but little things here and there and next thing I know the day had pass by. I had with my collegues and we went to Acai bowls. It was my first time and it was delicious. I liked to hang out with them too it was cool.

After work, I hit the gym even though I had zero motivation. The workout went well and then there was no traffic left so it took me 35 minutes to get home which is crazyyyyy. I made lunch, caught up with my roommates and chilled with them since I hadn’t seen them in forever. Now, bed is calling since it is once again getting late. I do have to finish laundry though first. Wish me luck.

Until next time, L

I could be in the shower right now but I lost a game of Pile ou Face to my roommate. Oh well, say thanks to her because here I am writing about my day instead.

The week has been going along quite well and it's been quite busy. I got to work on time yesterday once again leaving from my parents' place with their car. The drive was smooth although more busy than the day before which did stress me out a little.

The day then started and I had a lot on my plate. I ended up spending most of my day just doing traslation of a presentation that my team will have to do. It was in english and needed to be translated to french which isn't my cup of tea. I much prefer to translate french to English. But oh well, it went okay and although I had to rush at the end to finish before 5 and not be late for my evening, it kept me busy all day which was nice.

After work, I drove home. The roads were not as bad as I expected and I got home a little before my friends arrived. Then they arrived and we took it easy. My mom had made me a little plateau of cheese and meat and bread and we drank wine and caught up. I hadn't seen them in forever which made me sad so it was cool to finally be able to spend time together. They left at a little past 10pm and I showered and went to bed.

Today I though I wouldn't have much to do but then I had a lot of managing to do for my projects and I liked that. I faced a lot of roadblocks but it was challenging and keeping me awake and there. The day passed by in a blur and then it was past 4:30pm once again and I went to the gym. Working out was a pain in the ass but it felt good after having been sat on my ass all day.

After then gym, I drove back to the flat, finally. The drive was fine and back here my roommate was waiting for me. We made dinner each on our side and finished at the same time so we sat down outside and chilled while eating. We laughed a lot and it was cool. I had missed that.

Then I cleaned up after myself, made my smoothie for tomorrow and chilled with my roommate and then with the other one who finally arrived. Now, I'm back in my bedroom about to head into the shower because it's finally free. Bed will come in not too long.

Until next time,

July 22, 2019

Still at my parents' place. The car should be fixed by tomorrow but since I had my parents' car for the day and it doesn't have my parking pass on it it felt complicated to go back to the city. Plus, I'll be here tomorrow too since I'm seeing some friends that live closer to my parents' place than my own. Oh well, I'll be happier to get back to the city and chill with the roommates when I do in Wednesday.

Today's been nice. I woke up this morning and it was quite dark outside. That made getting out of bed a little harder but I pushed through and made it to work on time. Since it's the biggest vacations week of the year here in Canada, no one is on the road. So, even if getting to work with my parents' car was stressful and even if I left 10 minutes later than usual, I still got to work safe and sound and on time.

The day started with me shuffling around a lot. I changed desks twice since the dude I was taking the desk of was supposed to come back and then he wasn't. Good news is, I got my desk back. I also had a meeting for a future project that seems interesting and I got lots of little projects thrown at me. For one of the first time since I got there I felt a little overwhelmed and not sure of where I should start. Overall though, it got better in the afternoon and I think I managed to do everything that needed to be done quickly. I left the office a little later since I wanted to be sure I was on the right track for tomorrow.

I didn't leave right after I finished working since I went to the gym. I did a short but intense workout and got back to my parents' place smoothly (again: no traffic). Once here, dinner was all ready. I could actually get used to that. We ate all together in the living room and my mom had even made one of my favorite dessert: oat and raisins cookies.

In the evening, I took it easy. I had to shower and wash my hair and make my lunch. I also watched TV with the parents. Now, I'm ready to head to bed and get a good night of sleep because nothing feels better than sleeping.

Until next time,

L

July 21, 2019

The initial plan was for me to be back at my appartment on Sunday evening. I should have finally been able to get to work from my place on a Monday. But then on Friday my car was making a weird noise and on Saturday my brother told me it'd be dangerous to use it. So here I am, sleeping at my parents' place on a Sunday evening once again because I'll be taking their car tomorrow. Yeah.

I do have to say that other than the car trouble, my weekend was actually nice. I woke up on Saturday after having slept in. I had the whole day free and I wanted to do nothing but chill. And that's what I did. I watched a few episodes of tv shows I had missed and then I hung around in the solarium. It was fucking hot though so I didn't stay there too long. We ate poutine outside as a family even though it felt like 42 degrees outside. Then of course, I went in the pool with my mom, the only place outside that felt somewhat nice.

I ended my afternoon by reading and then I was invited to a little party at an old friend's house. I convinced another friend to come so I wouldn't go alone and after getting ready and having dinner I picked her up (in the pick up lol) and went. It was a little awkward at first not knowing anyone but then games got going and it was actually fun. I had met a few of them back in the spring when I visited her at her flat so it wasn't too scary. The games were fun and even though we'd planned to leave when we'd get awkward or bored we ended up staying until midnight. I got back home safe and sound and went to bed right away.

This morning I had a chat with my Europe friends. I woke up at 8:45am, was out of bed at 8:52am and was chatting with them at 9am in my PJs. They were both in a good mood and even though it was short because one of them had a football game to watch at 4pm their time (10am here) it was so nice to catch up. We'd all been so busy in the past few weeks that we hadn't talked so it was cool to know what they had been up to.

Right after we hung up, I got dressed and we went out for breakfast with my family. It was delicious and cool to catch up. Even though I've been back all weekend we didn't really get to actually talk.

Back here, I chilled a bit and then did some errands with my mom. We stopped for an iced coffee that I drank as I read. Then, my roommate arrived. Yep, she was coming here for the afternoon to enjoy the pool. And that's legit what we did. We were in there for over 2 hours just catching up. Being both busy the past weeks we hadn't properly caught up in a while even if we'd live together and since she's my friends as well as my roommate, it was nice.

We chilled at the piano for a while and then outside. It was so relax and yet so cool. We had a drink and had dinner with my parents. We had chocolate fondue for dessert and she left a little after. It was great.

Once she went away, I finished my book which was great by the way. I read Broken Things by Lauren Oliver and I loved it. Then, I prepared my things for work tomorrow, jumped in the shower and now bed is definitely calling if I wanna start the week correctly tomorrow.

Until next time,

July 19, 2019

It's crazy how time feels different on weeknights and on weekends. During the week, I find myself running out of time and having to force myself in my bed at 11pm to have a good night of sleep. On the weekends, I take my time, enjoying every little thing just because I can and don't have to go to bed early and yet I find myself in bed, ready to sleep at 11pm. How does that happen?

Anyways, this week has been ups and downs but as I look back to it overal I find myself thinking positively of it.

Let's take it back to Tuesday which was a warm sunny day. It was nice and at work time passed by fast. I ended up eating lunch with my co-workers instead of my usual group of interns because it was something that was discussed during my midintern assessment and I wanted to give it a go. I'm naturally shy so I can't say that I talked much during lunch but I was proud to try something new.

At 4:30pm, I was out of the office and making my way to the cinema. This time, my mom and I met up at the right one and saw a Quebecers movie. It wasn't the best but not the worst and it was a good time. After the movie, we went to the mall were we ate small Thai soups and shopped a tiny bit. We ended our trip with Starbucks drinks. It was so nice to enjoy some alone time with my mom that I decided to follow her home (ok, the fact that my roommate was having her boy over might have weighted in a little too). It was cool though. Once here, we chilled in the pool, she helped with my lunch and I even went to bed not too late. Early movies are officially the best because they give you lots of time after to enjoy your evening.

On Wednesday the day passed by fast. Mostly because we had a lunch and learn that lasted longer than my usual lunch time. I went with 2 other interns and it was interesting. After the end of the day, I went to the gym and surprisingly a lot of my intern friends were there too. We all worked out at our own rythme but near by and at the end they told me they were going out for dinner if I wanted to join (it was one of them's birthday). One of them landed me a towel so I could shower and I said yes. We went to Lov and it was nice. We ate outside which was cool. The food took forever to arrive but it was good which made up for it. We went for an ice cream after and it ended the evening perfectly. Except that my evening didn't end there. There was construction. Everywhere. And it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes just to leave the site I was at and then I still had to drive myself home. I cried, panicked, talked on the phone with my parents, thought I would faith of heat (my AC wasn't working anymore), thought I would pee my pants and just couldn't take it. Thank God for my parents and my roommate that I ended up calling so she could make my smoothie for the next day and she totally helped me calmed down (she's studying to be a psychologist and it showed). I got home at half past midnight and died in my bed.

So, Thursday was actually hard. I still got to work on time and went on with my day. Thank the Lord for a long team building lunch. We went to Lafleur for poutines and I loved it. It was funny to get there all dressed up in our fancy work clothes. I got to get to know some of my co-workers more and it was really cool. The afternoon after that was hard and I was thankful when the day ended. I went to the gym and then drove home. I chilled with my roommate after taking a shower and eating dinner. I tried to go to bed early but my other roommate came in and we caught up and then it was late and I went to bed.

This morning I was happy simply because it was Friday. I got to work a little later but still on time and started my day. The morning passed by fast but the afternoon was painful, I just wanted to leave. At 4:10pm I just couldn't take it anymore and left. I drove to my friend's place and we made dinner. We took it super easy since she sprained her ankle last week. We drank iced tea and rosé and coffees and caught up and watched stuff and it was relax but cool and I didn't come back too late so now I'm back in my bed at my parents' place, showered and ready to sleep. Good news is, tomorrow I can take it easy and I feel like I have not done that in forever.

Until next time,

Wow. It's been a while since I've only had 3 days to catch you up on. Also just so you know, I had to choose between writing or reading for the last 20 minutes before I go to bed and this is what I chose. Trying to make up for the lost times I guess!

This past weekend was nothing it was supposed to be. I woke up Saturday feeling good. It was sunny and I had 3 hours to get everything ready for a weekend in Quebec city for the festival. I made lunches, got myself ready, packed up my stuff and got to my friend's place with just a few minutes late.

From her place, we drove to a city on the shore of Quebec where a family friend lives. He was landing us his place for the weekend which was awesome. The road went well and we got to catch up. It took less than two hours and a half which felt nice. Once there, we got settled, got ready and left for the festival.

Getting there was a challenge. We were supposed to take the ferry by foot and park the car on the side we were on but couldn't find parking. So, we took it with the car. It was short and once there, after getting stuck in traffic, we found a parking.

Then, we had to walk to the festival which took a while and wait in line in the sun for 1 hour. Once in, we had to deal with a mean crowd until the show started. It wasn't ideal but felt worth it. The opening acts came on and were really good. I was still eager for Imagine Dragons to come on though.

And then it all happened. It started to rain. But liking pouring rain. But the show started and it was epic. Everyone was wet but dancing and singing and having a good time. The singer took off his shirt and came out in the crowd to be in the rain with us. It was awesome.

And then it all happened. They had to stop the show after 2 songs because of a storm. That said storm was far and afterwards I feel like evacuating us the way they did was probably more dangerous. We had to get out of there while not seeing anything, being wet and disappointed and not knowing were we were going. Turns out we ran in the wrong direction for a while and ended up having to back track for over 1km. It took us over 1 hour of walking to make it to the car and 1 hour in traffic to get back to where we were staying. Needless to say it was a disappointing evening.

Sunday was better. We got ready after sleeping in, packed up the car and went to the old Quebec. We had lunch there and chilled for a while. We settled at a picnic table and played games in the sun. We saw the artist we were there for do his soundcheck and it was a nice afternoon. Then came the opening act. It was a little awkward because we were first row and didn't know them but they were good. Then though came Noah Kahan and he was great. I've seen him a lot lately but he never fails to deliver.

Once his show was done, we got to the car and the drive home began. It actually went smoothly. It wasn't my turn to drive anymore so I chilled in the passenger seat for over 2 hours. I got to my house after driving the 20 minutes from my friend's place to mine and then I went to bed after showering.

This morning it was hard to get out of bed. I had to though because it was Monday and work was calling. I got there more than on time since there was no traffic at all and then I got to work. I was actually quite busy all day which made the day pass by fast. Usually afternoons can be slower but today it was all good.

After work, I drove to the nearest Walmart and did my groceries. I hate it. Doing it alone scared the fuck out of me. But I did it. And it went ok. In 15 minutes I was in and out and driving home. There was no traffic on the way home so it went well.

Once here, I unpacked my stuff and caught up with my roommates. My mom had made me dinner that I had brought from home so I ate that and it was great. I chilled in the living room for a while then I showered and watched a Jane with my roommate. Now, bed is calling because I need to catch up on that missing sleep.

Until next time,
