I now understand what people mean when they want to go back home for weekends when they were away for university. All through out university, going back home was not a big deal for me..cause it really was jUSt 5 mins away :p I mean yes I would go visit my family every now and then, but it's not like something that I wanted to do every day or weekend or what not..wait- that sounded bad. BUt anyways..i guess As much as I love Montreal right now, I think going back home now brings a different meaning..cause it's no longer 5 mins away but 5 hours away and i will have to travell and...it's just a different feeling. I like the city here, the food, the lifestyle so far,..but i guess i do miss home too..the simple life, the people.. and i think there some things you never really understand until you experience it for yourself.

i've been meaning to post more, but I always and I mean ALWAYs make it a habit to start writing something, save it to draft and by the time I go back to it, its so "old news" that I might as well just start another post :P and also i'm so lazy sometimes that it doesn't really help either ;P

But anyways...I am now officially in MOntreal. I remember talking about it for so long, and now i'm actually here. Time really flies..i've only been here for 4 days, but it seems so much longer...can't quite decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing yet...i guess it's good that I have more time to spend on my research..prayers please:D this is the first time that i've actually really done this kind of research and kinda nervous about it..!I need and want to do a good job. Montreal is definitely a lot different from the loo,I've never lived in a big city before, but so far I am enjoying it :) Everything is so convienient, mall, food, mcgill, and home! I love food..it makes me happy :D hehe

I haven't done too much shopping yet, except for the first day that we came where we met up with herman and posner (herman's friend) and they took us shopping! annnnnd we ended up buying NOTHING! I know..crazy eh!! BUT there is still TIME :D It was also raining that day, so we didn't get to do any sightseeing either..shuchks :( BUt as for now, My day pretty much consists of getting up at 7:30 ( well, that's basically what time i've been waking up these past few days) my godister wakes up a lot earlier, like around 6. she has a cockatail name dute dute..i probably spelled it wrong..but it's so cute. WHen i figure out how to post pics on my blog, i will show pics of her! :) We head to the university at around 8:30, get there by 9...it's a 20 min walk, but it doesn't feel like it at all, its actually quite refresehing to walk so early in the morning :) My hours are pretty flexible, besides the fact that I have class from 11-1:30, the rest of hte day is up to me to study, do research and little things that may pop up. We usually eat at about 7..or so, depending and then go home afterwards. We either go out to eat or eat at home..yesterday she made grilled sandwihc which was SO good! annnd she's nice to me jasy ;P We've had pAD THAI :D i love itttt! Anyways, although it is not a set schedule, I will have to set my own schedule so i get everything done within the time period I have..so hopefully I will be more disciplined and foocused!just sometimes the days go by so fast that you dont feel like you did anything, but so far I am enjoying it. MCgill campus is nice too..it's kinda like western with the "castle looK" but an older versionish.

I promise to update more..and I MISS ALL you guys! :D
