Moving In.

As of yesterday, I'm in Edmonton for the next eight months of my life. Now when I say eight months, I mean generally speaking for of course there will be the frequent trips home to visit a certain someone. So technically speaking I will not be here the whole duration of the time although a large portion of it will be spent in this very city. Okay, this is my cue to stop rambling. Moving right along...

Today I ventured outside of my house after sleeping in till almost noon (this was not what I meant to do, rather it was something that just happened after staying up till the wee hours of the morning unable to sleep). After crawling out of bed, I hopped on my newly tuned bike and went out for a spin around the neighborhood with a friend from down the block and his wife. I did avoid visiting campus today because believe it or not, this is all really overwhelming right now. As I said to Nick earlier on the phone, it's total deja vu. For example, yesterday when driving into the city, every street corner from about a twenty block radius of my house had a memory attached to it--something small that I had previously forgotten over the time span of the summer that was simply sparked by driving by a particular spot. The whole drive through the city to my house reminded me of everything that I experienced last year--both the good and the bad, all came rushing back to me. In ways it feels like just yesterday I was packing up to go home to Calgary for the summer and in other ways I feel out of place like I haven't been here for ages. Thusly, I avoided campus as a way of letting reality 'slowly' approach me, instead of having it jump me in an alley so to speak. After biking, I came home to join my mom for an afternoon of errands. I fully equiped myself for the next month with hopefully everything I need from Save On Foods and Shoppers Drug Mart. Seriously, some things I have so much of it's comming out of my ears (odd expression)! You see, when I moved back home for the summer, I left boxes of things here that I wouldn't need over the summer. Now, me being me, I wasn't fully organized and therefore didn't fully unpack today before going out for errands. I bought some things that I had previously packed four months ago. Thusly, I have a surplus of certain items.

After running out and about, in and out of the house, I came inside to start some more unpacking. This went quite slowly today due to my lack of attention span. I'd start something and while doing that, something else would catch my eye and I'd shift my efforts elsewhere. The result? A lot of things are half done!

Now I lay awake in my bed, waiting for a phone call while enjoying my tunes on my stereo.
