No, I didn’t
fell of the earth the past couple of weeks…and yes, I know I should have spend
some time updating each and every one of you about my life here in Canada. I’m
sorry!
Life has
been so busy that I kinda forgot about my friends and family in Belgium. Not to
be rude or anything, but the time difference and the fact that we all have busy
lives just doesn’t make it any better. Just don’t forget you all have a place
in my heart and it will be great to see you all again in summer!
After the
last blog post, I decided to move to another room as I was turning into a
little grumpy gremlin in my old room. The noise, the lack of sleep, and myself
slowly running out of patience made me move to the quiet side of the building.
As of mid January, I live together with only girls in a POD that’s so quiet it
sometimes freaks me out :-)
Accompanied
by a dozen little spiders (dead or alive) we spend a lot of time on the couch
doing what we call “homework sessions”, making sure to not fall behind on our
readings, assignments, and huge projects. Combining taking 7 courses at the
College with working a couple of shifts a week at A&W definitely isn’t the
easiest thing in life, but it keeps my mind and body busy.
As for now,
we can all enjoy a well deserved Reading Break, which is exactly what I needed!
Having time to catch up on some big projects, do some readings, and get ready
for some midterms. But also enjoying sleeping in and taking it easier on my
body are things I desperately needed, as I’m currently out with in-ear
infections in both my ears. Having little or no balance due to the ear
infections, I’m doomed to bond with the couch and Netflix pretty much all day
:-)
Can’t
believe my first year being a TRMP student at the College of the Rockies will
be over in 2 months. So far, it has been a great adventure! I’ve met some of
the most beautiful people, whom I hope I can call my friends for many more
years to come, and I’ve learned a lot of things about myself and my personality
as well. Guess it’s a safe thing to say that going to school doesn’t only leave
an impression on your brain, but also on your heart!
