back on the scene....have been without internet for 2 weeks after moving due to some rogers related problems. oh well, back to being connected to the world. it's amazing how these days being cut-off from the internet feels a lot like having a limb or one of your senses removed. i felt lost, disconnected and uninformed...realised i not only communicate through the internet (a lot!) but also use it all the time for things i take for granted like checking the news or the weather, listening to songs i love (i was cut off from don't stop believing for a whole two weeks!!) and using maps to find places. i guess in a modern life the internet really has become a sort of extension of our daily reality, a commodity i feel naked without....lol i hope it doesn't take this long to set up the net at my posting :)
so i've now been in ottawa for 2 weeks. not too much to report really. i'm set up in a new flat, which is pretty much entirely empty as my stuff is still in alberta due to some organisational mishaps at headquarters. i have a really fancy blowup bed though. language training is hard going....i definitely feel for those who have had to learn from scratch, i honestly don't think that i would've had the patience or perseverance to go through with it. the 4 weeks i need is excruciating enough! grammar 7 1/2 hours days a week. boo urns! then i get to move over to the CIC office and commence something i've gotten really good at/used to.....yes, more waiting. but should find out posting availabilities come summer....
