tra la la la la
back in vancouver.i graduated, the ceremony was on the 25th, and the adjusting is, well, i'm working on it. however, it was glaringly obvious that saskatoon was not the right place for me, so i quit my job, hopped in my car, and am making changes. i give you, the nutshell.
trip was really good for the most part. the bc part was when it got bad. fog and rain slowed us to 75-85kph, then my car died on the way to the coquihalla. one hour later, wheels were turning again, and we rolled into vancouver ~3am. drop dan off, and my car dies again. only this time my phone is dead, and i'm in north van without any payphones, or traffic. 3:45 a cab pulls over to let me use his phone, 4:20 joel arrives to rescue me, 4:45 we call the tow truck, 5:30 we're at the apartment, 6:30 all of my stuff is moved in and i get rest. (add two hours to these times to get saskatoon time)
now it's the waiting game. calling people so they know i'm in town, calling agents to get promoted, calling unions to get paperwork, calling honda to figure out what's wrong with my car, calling arlin to help me figure out why i'm unable to get internet (thanks buddy!), calling calling calling.
the good news? we did groceries and only bought healthy stuff. i have a really awesome gym in my building that i plan on starting to use today. and xbox and tv to provide me with low cost entertainment. and all of my crap actually fits in my room, i just need to work out a better system. right now i lift the bed to get to the luggage. it's quite comical.
the bad news? anyone who knows me, knows i worry. so i'm worrying about work, about cash, about getting home for christmas (the show i'm probably working on is running till the 24th and is back up on the 29th...) . If i'm not working, it's more time for me to worry. that combined with the rain and i'm really pushing and struggling for motivation. i'm working on that bit.
however, i had a beloved coconut bun and sushi yesterday. I made amazing lasagna for dinner the other night and left overs are quickly being demolished. and hopefully i'll see rachael today! scripts and projects to be discussed! poker to be played! oh so exciting! that and i really do not want to be a hermit this time around, so i'm making a list of things i haven't seen yet, and am going to start tackling them.
