Spring Break

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!
