gettin easier

I think I’ve started to settle in finally. The hostel experience was tiring and I’m glad it’s over with. I’ve realized that I am more of a hermit than I would like to admit. I don’t like to be surrounded by people all the time as it tires me. I met someone at the hostel and am staying at his place at the moment. He and his brother were from Mexico so I’ve been having Mexican food for the last five days and listening to Spanish conversations. It’s been really good. I get the house to myself in the morning as both of them work and at night we have an early dinner together, watch a movie and go to sleep. They wake up at five/seven while I wake up around ten…b/c I still can’t fall asleep until one/two still.

I’ve finally gotten a chance to sit down at a coffee shop and type something down. It’s been pretty eventful the last five days. Saturday, I got to see the Fashion and Design Festival happened in St. Catherine and McGill University Street. It was pretty amazing to see a runway show in the middle of the street. Also went to the Aboriginal Festival afterwards. I can’t remember what happened in-between…OH, I went back the La Ronde with Liz b/c her membership card allow her to bring a person in for free and expires last Saturday…had dinner at Liz’s house for one of those days…she made curry rice. Days have started to become a blur for me now…not too sure what the meaning of that is.

I saw a place yesterday that I really like. It’s in the middle of the Plateau and eight minutes away from the Sherbrooke Station. I would be living with three other people and one of them is from France and is a programmer. The washroom and the room are a bit small. The place is a bit of a mess but I’m sure I could adjust. The guy’s a huge coffee drinker and couldn’t get up without a cup of strong brewed coffee. I think we would get along great. There’s also a rice cooker! I think if he answers yes on Sunday I might take this place. It’s less risky than the previous one for $250 + utilities and I have no idea how much utilities is. Plus, it is way too far from downtown so commuting would be a pain.

Will be going to Trois Riviere this Saturday! I’m pretty excited. Hehe. Let the whole French experience begin. I’m going shopping today. Both of my jeans are in horrible shape from all the walking. I’ll try to be frugal…

Ciao! I hope everyone is doing well!

PS. i also went to a bar finally...(don't tell mum)...went to two in one night but that is all
