I have trouble posting frequently don't I. I swear I do post more often, but they're sometimes personal vents that are private...
Lately, the major thoughts in my mind relate to moving to Cardiff. I really want my confirmed papers from the University so I can feel a little more at ease with my future. I have not rejected YorkU's offer yet, just as a precautionary move; but should not need to worry about that. Every time I think about September I get antsy worrying about my visa, res, actually going that far away, and the cost of it all. Yes I'm a worry wart, I know it! Regardless, they are mostly things worthy of my worry!! I think when I have my visa, when I've picked my residence and well when I feel like I really am going, I think I'm going to freak out. It's exciting, but at the same time terrifying. It is far. I don't think I ever expected to go, so it's kind of a shock to think I'm actually going... hence the need for the reassurance of my final papers from Cardiff to make it set in stone, so to speak. Eek!! =D
I've been pretty obsessed with my new book GreenTopia, I love it. I'm almost done and most of the essays are great for introducing one to various perspectives on the sustainability of Toronto and how one might accomplish such a feat. From urban agriculture, to acoustic ecology, or green property taxes and concrete retrofitting, I love it. It has been great for me to find topics to look deeper into, as well as to broaden my view on sustainable measures that a city such as Toronto can, and is using to ensure a better future for its residents.
I'm sorry to say my Jared Diamond book is still sitting there unfinished. I put it down when I got the GreenTopia book, and don't feel motivated to finish it, it was not nearly as enticing. Hopefully I will force myself to finish reading it before the end of summer. Oh books, I love you! hahaha.
Camping has eluded me this summer so far. I should be going on the August long weekend *Crosses fingers* and the Labour day weekend. I have to say I really do love being outside...there is something relaxing about it. The other day I somehow came upon the question of "what are my favourite memories of recent years?". I realized most of them were peaceful or joyous moments outside enjoying nature. How earthy of me. lol I don't think I'm unique in this, most people tend to feel most at ease in a beautiful sunny day, watching the sunset as you lie on a beach, pure beauty.
Anywho, I must get ready for another day of surveying... ugh lol. 23 more days of surveying I hope!!!! or 33 days of work left... either way it's not too bad, it's almost over!!!! =D
over out.
