Hey, well its one month, 28 days, until i get home. And even less til i actually begin the journey home. Things are going okay here in Toronto... I have everything I require, nice little flat to myself, but it feels abit like im just passing my time here. It gets pretty boring when there isnt anything on TV and the radio plays annoying flute solos on Jazz FM. Theres no supermarket thats easy to get to and my new addiction to the market means a one hour transport network trip. So its not THAT easy here, but ive got into quite a routine. Missing out on a lot of sunshine what with spending alot of my days in a basement, and then, when the weekend arrives, like today - THUNDERSTORMS. allllll day. Rather typical really.

But nevertheless, Im very much looking forward to coming home. Got so many many mannnnny things to do, and planned. I counted the number of cross-country trips i need to make before i can go back to uni . 14 in total. And this is even with the most stringent 'bulk reasons for visits' policy being employed. But at least i shall be busy, very busy, and get to see alot of people that i havent seen in a while, even before i ran off for 9months around the globe.

I got my funding studentship confirmed this week, so thats rather nice to know fosho that i have some money coming my way (albeit not for very long) in the near future. I say near, i mean October. which to me... is VERY near. like the blink of an eye. As ive been trying to organise things with people for when i get back it has dawned on me just how utterly different my sense of time is now. One month is NOTHING! whereas most people dont seem to know what theyre doing next week, let along this week. But i rather feel that without planning alot of time gets wasted, and money is often brought into it aswell. I prefer to be efficient in the things i do, and so plannings a big thing to me, one plan isnt usually enough anymore. Alot of my time away has been spent thinking about things i want to do when i get home (seems a tad ironic i agree), but now im pretty sure what i want to do, and it does seem like alot, but im ambitious to prove that it can be achieved! I guess i used to think tht some people let their lives pass them by, but now i think its probably something we're all guilty of. it actually seems kind of lazy in a way, to have time when things arent being achieved... but lazy isnt quite the right word. Its just that it is non-productive i suppose. I guess thats why ive decided to fill my life with so many new things, and also to boost the amount of time dedicated to things i was neglecting in the past.. because doing NOTHING is pointless, why not rather do SOMETHING that you enjoy as a break from work, or study, or whatever else is the main thing.

Well thats enough rambling for now. It looks as though todays thunderstorms may be clearing up abit. Get out your calanders and start crossing off the days in big red pen. :)
