Well, I'm in Winnipeg now, with Sam!
Funny I ended back here I guess. Going back and fourth between my Katimavik placements. Katimavik is over now, but the people I met through it, the things I learned in it and the places I went, they'll always be in my heart.
I can't say I'm much of a city person. So taking the bus has been a bit frustrating at times. Being alone, I don't mind. Being alone among people is different- that's lonely. In Chisasibi, I rarely felt alone among people because there was always a familiar face in every place. I'm learning to adapt, and things are slowly getting better though.
There are a lot of good things about being in the city too. Sweet shops all over the place. "DERICIOUS" (delicious) restaurant all over, better grocery stores and everything just seems to be right at your fingertips. You forgot to pick something up? Well, it's on the way from here to there. The main thing that makes a difference though, is living with Sam. Well, we have our differences sometimes, but we always sort things out and for the most part, everything just feels effortless around him. He's quite patient, considerate and well informed about everything. As we get used to each other, we're noticing more and more differences, which can make things more challenging, but that, and learning to accept or not accept those are a big part of being in a relationship with someone. It's hard sometimes, because you have someone with you all the time, being a part of so many of your everyday little decisions, questioning your reasoning for doing things a certain way or making certain decisions. It really forces you to think about it more. It's so different when you live with the person, share your space with them and do everything with them and be in an intimate relationship. It forces you to think even more about every little thing you do and how they can affect that person. Evidently, it's another part of life that changes completely how you see and do things.
So I guess if I were to make this part of my life into a chapter it would just simply be living to love. I'm not going to school or really working on my career, but really, I'm just here to learn to love myself and one other. (Well, one in particular.) Honestly, that seems to be my main focus these days, since I'm not working a lot :S
Another nice thing about Winnipeg is the music and events always going on! Sunday, we went to see a cute French film called Le Havre. It was rather different, a bit strange sometimes, but overall I thought it was really cute and I liked it. There was also a Free movie festival (which we didn't end up going to) and this weekend there's an open mic folk event. We probably won't go since we're going to the farm but I love that kind of stuff! Then, we have some friends here that we've been able to visit a couple times, and more that we plan to see!
All in all, I'm well, and I plan to keep up with my blog so long as I'm not feeling overwhelmed with school and what-not.
Peace and Love to everyone in my hometown! And wish me luck on my job search!

Well I guess I could've edited this before posting like this but it's far more interesting upside down isn't it?
Sam and I put a map of the world up so the world would be at our feet and we could put pins where we've been and want to go and pictures of the places we've been :) I'm excited! :)
