I died so I could haunt you

So I left the last blog with intentions of perhaps the next day coming out with the list of reasons I am happy I moved. That didn't happen right away. So here after delay is that list.

1. My friends
My new friends that I have made since moving away have really demonstrated what true friendship means, and I never thought I could enjoy someone's company so much. It's weird for me to be able to spend so much time with the same people day in and day out and not get sick of them. It's amazing. When becky and I don't see each other all day I truely miss her. To be honest I have no idea how I make it through the summer.

2. Independence
I get to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I never have to eat food I don't like. I can stay up late. I don't have to ask permission to go anywhere. It's amazing. It's also not as though I have been restricted to much at home, but I don't have to think about the feelings of anyone else...well I do, but generally they have the same feelings as me.

3. Networking
Business is very important for networking. I have also had a lot more of a chance to meet new people. Now when I do start looking for jobs I have a lot more people that I will be able to use in that kind of a search.

4. Opportunities
There are many different opportunities I've had. Things like travelling around ontario (visiting various friends), seeing different things and bieng able to live on my own. I'm not weighed down by what else is happening with my parents.

5. No Past'
Not that I have a tumultuous past, but it's nice to meet people and not worry about what they have heard from other people and you don't have to worry about them judging

6. Family
I have had the opportunity to spend more time with my grandparents. That's nice. I'm still working on making my way up to favorite.

7. Shorter ride to school.
If I stayed here I would be attending the asper school of business. That's an hour bus ride, I guess I'd have a car but parking at the u of m sucks.

In conclusion I think that I definatly feel a sense of dualism within myself because I feel like two different people, although I try to act the same no matter where I am or who I'm with (I like to think I'm not a fake). And it's a really strange feeling that I know that I have another life waiting for me in Ontario, but my past is all here. Unless you experience it, it's very difficult to describe. I've also noticed that the explainations here are not as long as what I've given up. I guess that it's the simplicity that I like? Could be....

This has also been a great week. It's canada day today. Let me think what I've done. Monday...I biked to work. This was not a great decision. I already was not feeling well, I got to show off what I had for breakfast to a co-worker...classy. Then Tuesday I biked home and it went so well!! It's so far though. This coming up three weeks though I'm going to be starting work at 7...I'm gonna die. Especially with folk festival coming up...oh well, at least I'm off at 3:30!!

The ukelele playing is also going way better than I thought! It is recommended for all to learn and join my ukelele orchestra!
