Wow, Time Flies

I can't believe how far and fast time has flown since I was last writing. Since the last entry I have worked as a teaching assistant at the university, worked for EIA, finished my Honours Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, gotten in and out of a year long relationship, moved out on my own in a cute one bedroom apartment in South Osborne, got my kitten Tigger, applied and was accepted to all five schools that I wanted to attend to do my Masters degree in, decided to go to Carleton, and rented a one bedroom apartment in Ottawa. It's been a complete whirlwind.

Three weeks from today I officially move to Ottawa to begin this new chapter in my academic and personal life. It's not going to be without struggle. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, and she will have surgery on June 23rd. I'm thankful that this is before I leave for Ottawa. She will need Chemo and Radiation, but we will skype back and forth, and I'll be home for Kevin and Lisa's wedding in September, so I'll see her then, and then I'm assuming I'll be home for Christmas as well.

Dad and Frank are driving my stuff out in early July and I'll fly out with Tigger on July 6. It feels so soon, yet I knew this was coming in September. Somehow the time didn't seem to dull all the anxiety and worry about leaving.

I'm happy that Anna is doing her Masters in Montreal because then I at least know someone in the driving vicinity to spend time with. Hopefully her and I will get up to many adventures over the course of the next few months.

I still have to register for classes and I have no idea what I'm supposed to take. I'm hoping that sorts itself out within the next few days.

Before I leave I have to get into the eye doctor, see the dentist, get my glasses fixed, pack up my apartment, move to my parents, get everything in order and then move all in a very tiny space of time. Let's hope it goes smoothly!

More Soon

Me.
