I love how I come back here every once in a while to catch up. It's like that friend from high school who you never see but each time you meet up it feels as if nothing has changed. I'm in a much different place now than I was a year ago. New place, new volunteer experiences, new way of living. I couldn't be happier.
The Place
I am officially a resident of the coolest neighborhood in Winnipeg. I suppose that's not saying much. I moved in with a girl from school at the beginning of the month and I love it. Everything is so close, the place is so nice (and clean), and the kitchen is actually use-able! (see below in the food section)
The Job(s)
I'm stupid busy all the time, which isn't really new. I enjoy the challenge of taking on new roles and responsibilities and I enjoy being a leader. I also enjoy a discount on clothes, but that's another story.
The Volunteering
Lots of new things going on here. Applying for new positions, applying for practicum positions - not really volunteering but whatever, and coming into my own in the positions I have already.I foresee a really fun (last) school year ahead of me!
The Food
In the last year I've really started to support the local food movement. I think it's really great to know where your food comes from. I've already been to Crampton's twice this year and picked up some delicious food, and I hope to visit many more times this summer. St. Norbert opens June 1!!
I've also tried my hand at making a number of things from scratch. Anthony and I have almost perfected our pizza dough recipe. I'm not sure why anyone buys pizza, home made is amazing! I also recently made my first real whole wheat yeast bread. Again, not sure why anyone buys bread? I cannot wait to experiment with this recipe by adding seeds and herbs!
The Fitness
I'm not going to lie, but I've been going to the gym. I never would have imagined actually wanting to go there. On top of that, I'm running in the relay this year, at the friggen marathon.Who am I? Someone who likes exercise, that's who.
The Friendships
Another year of school has flown by and it as a busy one, albeit fun. Lots of bonding time with the 'best school friends' made the days a lot better. I'm so lucky to have these girls in my life, they keep me together on the days I just want to fall apart. My CPL has been doing some amazing things and I am so proud of her everyday. We don't see each other as much as I would like but we make a point of catching up as often as we can.
The Love
I've been waiting to write this one but I don't even know where to start, I'm just so happy. I'm in love with my best friend and he's amazing. He's been working so hard this year and I'm proud of everything he's accomplished. Spending time with him is what I look forward to most and I can't wait to see what shenanigans we'll get into next.
The Future
As an aspiring medical student my summer looks chalked full of physics, chemistry, and other exciting things like that. Sometimes I get very discouraged, but I try to remind myself of what I'm working towards. I have a lot of support from my family and friends which is also very encouraging.
