So. I'm home !!!!
It's hard to describe a 27-day journey in a few paragraphs, but I guess I'll have to try - just later. I'll also update (or actually, make over) the website I built about the trip as soon as I get our pics developed. I took approximately 6 times 24 pictures. Teehee. And Tweety had 3, if I remember well. :) Anyways, so I'll probably put out most of what we wrote everyday in our journals and also a lot of pics. Of course it's gonna be all French, but you all should be able to appreciate the pics, and the most important (or funniest) parts of the trip I'll of course tell here in a few days.
I'm glad to be home, although everyhting feels awfully strange. First I'm back to driving the Mazda after a whole month of driving the Sentra. Let me tell ya that Mazda is sooooooooo TINY !!!! Then driving here is weird too, I feel like I haven't been here in ages and I could almost find my way around more easily in Winnipeg or Vancouver now. Almost. And then I slept in my own bed last night and everytime I woke up I thought I was still somewhere out west, and I had to remind myself I was home. HOME. How weird.
I had a ton of mail waiting for me when I got home, including my new health insurance card, which I asked for the day right before I left, and it's funny because that whole month made me lose a little over 5 pounds, and my face is a bit rounder on that pic !
Yep, I lost 5 pounds, and I'm still waiting to see how much Tweety lost. The most disturbing part of it is that we absolutely didn't starve, we had cookies everyday (heavenly cookies, mm... GOD they were good) and pasta as well, and we even ate two big bags of chips in Alberta and Saskatchewan. So now all my pants are either definitely or slightly too large for me. That would be the frustrating part.
So, I was talking about the mail - I had a ton of junk from the three Universities I applied to. Luckily I already know which one I'm choosing, so that leave only the third of it to read. I had received my credit card bill, which amounted to 200$ and is kinda a kick in the head for the first day back at home - but I also had two checks from the government. Got to love GST returns.
My stuff is mostly already pretty much back in place (Tweety, your chewing gum is over here, you forgot it in the car) but I still have a lot of things to do... I might go to the mall already this afternoon to get a new watch, for mine died in the hot springs in Banff, and without it I'm going crazy. I really am. I mean, even more than what you'd expect. ;)
So yeah, I'm really glad to be home again, and as soon as I've caught up to what my world became while I was gone, I shall resume being the same old, ever-crazier, blogging-all-the-time Quartz you (should) remember. :)
Missed ya !
