Back to reality

We’re leaving today. Be back in the Phils by Sunday. Of course there was no way I would be able to stay. I don’t have enough work experience to get a job. It was just wishful thinking. But our plans have changed now. I need to go back to school full time. I don’t want to pursue a Master’s degree. I learned that after the one class I took last summer. An MA is for the really serious students. Me, not at all a serious student. Okay, must find a culinary school. I think I’d like that better than taking MA classes. I’d definitely enjoy it. Can anyone recommend a school, besides CCA?

After our month long stay here, I’ll miss:

-The interesting weather. We experienced really great weather, when the sun was shining, no clouds and it wasn’t too hot or cold. Then there were days when you’d need to wear a couple of layers of clothing

-The tree lined streets, actually seeing greenery everywhere. And the fresh air, I’m definitely going to miss breathing in good clean air

-As lame as it sounds, I’m going to miss the bus system they have. It’s so convenient

-Wearing shades at 9PM. They have longer days; it’s so weird to see the sun still up at 9PM.

-Perfect strangers greeting you with a “hi” or “hello” as you walk bye

-Tim Horton’s hot chocolate. It’s so creamy and rich and delicious and perfect to warm up freezing hands

-The Millenium Library where I would probably enjoying living in, if they let me(hehe). I’d be perfectly happy reading book after book after book...

-Seeing people asleep on the grass

-The fact that pedestrians have the right of way. Every car stops and waits for you to cross the street as soon as you activate the crossing signal thingy

-Not hearing car horns honking. Seriously, no body honks their horns!

-Strawberries! We’ve had strawberries everyday during this trip. And they’re huge! Awww….I’m really gonna miss the strawberries
