(no subject)
So, I've been pretty busy.
A few weeks ago my co-workers were teasing me about how bad my french was when I first started. It was the same day I signed the lease to my apartment. That was the first day I accepted that Montreal is now my home.
I've been meaning to write for a long time now, as usual, but the problems always been that I never really feel like I have much to talk about. It's strange though because this is probably one of the most exciting periods of my life. Alex's father was in town and I had mentioned my situation (all my things are in storage - I've become a professional couch surfer) and there was a twinkle in his eye. He said something like "It's amazing to be free. This is the only time you'll ever be able to just go anywhere or do anything you'd like." I know enough of his life that I know that he's had his share of freedom and adventure but I never really thought much of how important and special my life is right now.
I don't have a home right now and haven't for a few months - and won't for another month - and though it can be incredibly stressful sometimes to never truly be settled somewhere, it's amazing that I can just go anywhere I want and have so many wonderful people willing to accept me.
I'm excited about life.
I feel lucky.
I'm happy.
I've been thinking about school a lot lately. It's been something on the horizon for so long that it's become incredibly difficult to actually take the steps towards it... honestly, it's intimidating. It's not even school itself that's intimidating, it's just the whole application process. A while ago I made and half-hearted attempt and applied to University. I got an e-mail telling me there were missing documents and decided that was enough to dissuade me from applying. I convinced myself that I'd just get my shit in gear and apply again for the Spring semester... I'm not too bad of a procrastinator (well, I mean, I often just don't do things, but things I want to do I normally get on), but I was kind of afraid that I'd keep my schooling on the horizon and never really get around to it.
My education came up in a conversation with Alex and Marisa the other day and they literally offered to get all of my paperwork together and fill out my application. Me being me, I can't allow them to do that... but I don't know how I can express how supportive and genuinely excited they for my going to school.
I'm so happy to have friends that are not only inspirational, but are actually motivating me to become an even better person.
Life is chaos but it has started to feel like I'm surrounded in a bubble with the people who are closest to me.
We're all in this together.
I'm really excited about life.
