A Hermit for the Week


Hello Everyone, Long Time No Post!

Yes it is true. But admittedly, it has been awfully busy week. 60 hour work week combined with the staff video that I have completed above. Simply one of those weeks, that you question its worth while it is occurring, but will fondly look back upon.

However, along with all this work, there are plenty of positives to speak of. It seems like life is just presenting me with interesting person after interesting person right now. It certainly helps that I work in a bar that could also function as the United Nations of Brisbane City. People at the BBC simply come from so many walks of life, that it is constantly refreshing. It is very much what life in residence at UBC was; a gathering of young enthusiastic people, flying by the seat of their pants. After a while, this group inevitably becomes family.

I'm running a lot more now, mostly due to the weather temperatures normalizing. Last evening, my run took me through noticeably cold temperatures reaching as low as 10 degrees centigrade!

I'm also reading a lot more now. Becky, a friend of mine, suggested I read The Great Gatsby. Somehow I have managed to not read it after all this time, and what a mistake! The dialogue is delicious the metaphor and imagery encapsulating, and it is truly is a book you could not create anymore. It is from another time and another place.

Just wanted to send out a hello to my parents. Sorry I have been a little distant for the time being, I assure you I was very busy. To my friends back home, you are and always will be my rock, and to the grade 12's of Handsworth Secondary...even after my departure you continue to impress and amaze me.

Busy Week. Long Week. Good Week.
