Hiya lovers!
It's hard to believe it's been nearly two weeks! I feel like time has run completely wild, leaving me behind to ponder what happened to the days. Assignments are becoming due, I started working in a cafe and, in short, life happened. I'm so sorry I haven't been updating these past days, it's been on my never-ending to-do list but NO MORE! I love keeping you guys in the know of all my adventures, and especially uploading photos (I like taking pictures of weird stuff and knowing I have somewhere to post them helps me to rationalize said behaviour).
Hmmmm, so whats new? The cafe is awesome, very close to my place, a 5 minute bike ride down the street. This is a major bonus as my shifts start at 6:45am. Everyone I work with is unbelievably nice and helpful, so friendly, and the people that come in are really sweet as well. My accent is a major topic of conversation. My position is something of a glorified runner: I take orders, run food, run drinks, clear tables and (my favourite part) make milkshakes and desserts. I'm currently perfecting my off-the-menu specialty: soy vanilla chai milkshake
I'm counting down the days until Henry comes, and we've been doing mucho planning and booking of various flights, campervans, hotels, trains, circuses, etc. I very much miss him and having the days fly by in a blur is a definite advantage for bringing me closer to his arrival.
Victor Harbor was unbelievably epic but that deserves its own post, which I will follow up with shortly-I promise!
Fringe ended on Sunday but I caught the last performance of a circus troupe: 'Pants Down Circus'. It was absolutely MINDBLOWING! I took Chris, a fellow Canadian exchange student who works at lululemon AND is from Calgary, so we have many people in common. I couldn't take photos but I did take some of the garden, a cool contortionist (although I would argue she's just a dedicated yogi) and Chris being crazy:
The flash makes things really dark and 2-dimnesional looking (case in point, that red shape is actually a really cool lantern) but the flash off everything is blurry so, I apologize for the bi-polarity of these photos in terms of clarity.
Tonight I am going to a midnight showing of 'The Hunger Games' with my Colorado friend Jennifer. No, I have not read the book but Yes, I am excited! She's crazy about the books and her enthusiasm is quite contagious!
I have also become completely obsessed with muesli, I eat it as cereal and it constitutes basically every major meal of my day. Topped with tons of cinammon, of course!
I should let you all go now, so I can go catch my movie. I'll be sure to write up a review tomorrow.
Love you all lots!
Ive been waiting for a new post!!
