The big twenty-one.

Today is my birthday!

So, I thought I'd update my blog since I'm not really doing anything special, after all, it's the only day where you're forced to face the fact that you'll soon be entering the boring, grey world of adulthood. Yay.

All bad jokes aside, I did want to use this blog as a means to express my gratitude for this amazing year that has gone by incredibly fast. This has indeed been the best year of my life, so far. Something I insist on emphasising. This year has been such a rare experience, as well as one that has taught me so much. Literally. I've tested the waters of adulthood, and I guess it isn't so bad. Although, I must admit, sometimes I just want to cry and be back at home, but other days I wish this experience would never come to an end. (Sorry mum and dad)

Having tasted the life of travelling, I am hooked. I am expecting so much from the future, and am definitely going to take up any opportunities that arise. I have already planned so much, and cannot wait to take advantage of my years to come.

So that was my little birthday blog- and finally, happy birthday to me.

Bisous.

Back to reality.

Wow, this time it really has been a long time since I’ve posted a blog up. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel guilty. It’s been bothering me for ages; I just kept pushing it back. My aim was to write one up once a month, but I guess things don’t always go according to plan. Especially when it comes to me.

So obviously much has been done since my last blog, and I guess I do excuse myself for not having posted one up for such a long time, holiday season can take the blame. I flew back to London and spent three weeks at home, but damn, I really cannot even put into words how quick the time went. Too fast. I actually managed to fit in quite a few interesting things- thing’s we Londoners take for granted and don’t bother doing. Something we should truly reconsider.

Now I’m back in my temporary home of Quebec City, of which of course I do enjoy, but this time around I’m finding it much harder to get back into routine than the first semester. I guess it’s the fact that so many of the friends I had made have mostly all left, and I’m left here feeling rather lonely. The modules that were open to me at university this semester were so limited, and let’s just say my level of motivation is already so low. Also, having enjoyed my time in London so much, I just miss it already. Ha! I do realise how much of a whiny baby I may suddenly come across as- that I should really be appreciating my opportunities, blah blah. But my blog is basically an open diary, so I figured why not free at least a tiny percentage of my thoughts. Oh, and everybody who knows me well, knows I complain a lot. Awful, I know.

I only have a few months left in this country, to which I have to enjoy each and every moment. Activities tend to start around February here, so I mean there will be plenty to do. Oh, and about Canadian winter, it’s not as bad as they say. Really really. But then again, this is the nicest winter in a long time, so lucky me I guess!

Bisous.
