Graduated today. I feel someone like now I'm supposed to be a teacher. Dad came yesterday and he's kind of taking over a bit. It hasnt been bad or anything, but I'm feeling stifled. When he came down in the fall I thought I would get sick of him and want my space, but I totally enjoyed myself. This time its just the opposite.
The secret to happiness is low expectations.
I'm feeling anxious about the future, and I'm kind of acting paralyzed about it. I'm not on top of all the things I should be. I'm kind of transfixed by the idea of returning to Ottawa, and its eclipsing all my thoughts, or at least I'm allowed it to eclipse everything. I think on some level I want Mike to do the legwork and I'm seeking some external stimuli. I hate all the uncertainty, even though I should be really used to it.
Our trip to Ottawa went really well. We did plenty of things. In Ottawa, we went out to Helsinki and Lookout, hosted a b-day party, ate at Jericho, On the weekend, we camped at Plein Bois with
tobes31415 and
ottawaadam. The steaks at plein bois were the best I'd ever had. It was friggin incredible. I'm seeing the appeal of steak like never before. Then, we went to Mtl for a day, and stayed at the Gouverneur, ate at ExtAsie, walked around Vieux-Montreal, went to Taboo, Adonis & Sky Pub. There were tonnes of great moments, and nothing sucked. I had a great time but at least I'm not missing Ottawa tonnes atm. Mike is such a big part of that. Its weird how that is.
Lately, Mike and I have been watching Arrested Development. Its shows like that that make me love television. Battlestar Galactica is still my favourite show. I'm sad that its only going to last until Season 4. There just arent enough good shows out there.
I'm liking the book I'm reading - "Birth of America"
