So far I'm a big fan of North Bay. I went for a run tonight (yes *gasp*!) and near the end I stopped on the beach to stretch and watch the sunset while I was there. The beach! I know that might not seem that exciting but to me it's freaking awesome. Plus very pretty sunsets. And after spending the entire day on campus today I like it very much as well. There is a 'pond' out back which is the biggest pond I've ever seen :) Plus it's surrounded by forests and hiking trails and marvellous nature! Such excitement. Too bad I am actually going to be forced to do work while I'm here.

I found a post I wrote last week that somehow got stuck in drafts instead. Now it's time dated though and no longer interesting to me. Sorry. It was mostly about food though. Foods I misssed while being abroad.

Well I'm quite tired after being so perky and friendly today and meeting all sorts of new people so I'm going to chill with the Becster then sleep. It kind of feels as if we're at a sleepover in high school, since that's the last time I was spending this much time with her. I enjoy.

Oh and much excitement with the new laptop today. It's a very shiny Toshiba Satellite A100. Whatever that means but it's nice looking and I am in love already. Although not with the keyboard.

Back to everyday blogging now. Let me tell you being home is quite strange. So far I have found that since I left and returned home alone, and since everything in Guelph seems to be perfectly the same, it feels as if I may have imagined the entire last year. Lucky I have hundreds of pictures to prove otherwise. And another hole in my ear. And really worn down feet (too much information?). And lots of wonderful and life-altering memories. It's been a good year.

But it is nice to be back on familiar ground for a while. And in a few weeks I get to move again and go back to school. University lifestyle certainly was nice.

I'm going to try and get out of my pajamas now.

Back to song of the moment...
