Four

Day Four:  Movin' on up!

Today is the day I move into my new house!  And I have, and everything went alright, and we got everything here and everything is accounted for.  It is a totally different house than I have ever been in before.  I love the stove.  What a weird part to really like, but I really like the stove.  The handles for the stove top are right at the front, so I can see them safely and perfectly.  I'm still getting used to the house, and I have yet to met anyone but I don't really want to bother anybody...  It will be okay.

I went out for dinner with Chris at Fionn McCool's, an Irish pub that replaced Casey's here in Guelph and has lots of whiskey.  It was nice to catch up, and I walked there all by myself!  Gosh, all these little triumphs, makes me feel like I am actually productive and successful!

It is bizarre living in a big house with lots of people who I don't know. I saw a friend from theatre at McCool's so that was really nice, familiar face...  I need to get back to myself I think, it would just be nice if I felt more at home somewhere...  I am being positive, it's just different hee.  Change.  Change change change.  My faaaavourite thig..

I made some tea after walking home and now I'm ready to get settled for the evening.  I am going to watch a movie and sleep early, Judith's coming tomorrow!  A lot of people move in tomorrow actually, which is exciting, and I am ready for everyone to be here and settled already!  I cn't believe classes start on Monday, I am ready and all but it is unblievable!  It feels like yesterday I was getting ready to go to London, now it's all over and done.

But it was worth it, despite what people might think, and I am so happy hat it has opened so many new opportunities for me.  That's something about University that I always forget:  opportunity.  It is an opportunity to take chances, to be strongand happy, to meet people and learn things from people who know what they're talking about.  Wouldn't it be nice to not chicken out on one of these opportunitiesone of theee days?  I'm working on it.

I am painfully awkward at introducing people.  I thought this would be important to bring up because I forgot to introduce my dad to someone today, and it became obviously awkward later on, and I just wish I could do it.  Maybe that should be my goal for the week:  introduce somene to another someone without makin it excruciatingly awkward.  I don't know if I'm up to the challenge, but I will try my best. 

I am so tired right now, oday has been such a productive day!  Tomorrow should be also.  I wonder if my room will stay this clean.  This is just becoming random thoughts now, maybe Ineed a blog like that once in a while.

Strange as it eems there's been a run of crazy dreams..

If you can decipher this you'e far better off than I,

love,
