it has hit me.
i have fewer than six weeks left in Canada. six weeks. that's nothing, guys. that's six Mondays, six weekends, six episodes of Doctor Who. it's nothing, nothing nothing at all. it's what, 41 days left with my parents? nevermind the cats. maybe two days with Dave and Danilo, maybe two days with Dee & co. it's about 30 shifts of work ( Read more... )

you can take the girl out of Canada, but you can't take Canada out of the girl.

errrrrm. i feel like i haven't written anything decent in here for awhile. i'd love to make it up to you now, but it's quite late already. how about tomorrow? or Friday? in the next few days, i promise you posts on:

- how much i love and miss Dave and Danilo
- my job(s)
