New Start, New City, New... Everything.

Well hello blog, I honestly forgot you existed.

Anyway, decided to clean things up and begin anew. I read old posts, and they were honestly kind of... boring/whiny/derp.

I ended up moving in August to Edmonton. Holy hannah, this is definitely hard for me to handle. I've never lived anywhere but my quiet house with the huge backyard. And now I'm the little girl in the big city, not comfortable with driving to new places, not exploring on the weekend like I'm used to, not enjoying nature like I would be back home. It honestly sucks something awful.

It's getting better, though. Thanksgiving break is coming soon, so I shall be heading back home to spend time with my parents, my dogs, my family, and perhaps my boyfriend and his family. So excited!

Oh yeah, boyfriend. It's been 5 months today. I usually don't count, but one of my roommates pointed it out recently. I can't believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday when we went out on our first date. Hm. I honesty miss him a lot more than anyone expected. Well, I suppose when someone causes you to go back to the person you were/wanted to be, you can't -not- miss them. I keep hearing that "L" word, and I refuse to drop it until we're in person. It's there, I'm just a shy little bird that has to have a push to say things like that. (AKA I'm pretty sure I've never actually been IN love and this just gives me butterflies like no one's business).

OH MAN. So I started taking cabaret dance classes. It started off pretty tame: belly dancing techniques (which I got to try out in April), cardio work, etc. THEN WE DID WALL SITS. Normally, I could care less; they're just another way to strengthen my weakened core. But then she kept insisting we do it sexily.

WHAT.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I've ever actually made a point to "act sexy." That is definitely not a facet of my character. And yet, she got us sliding down the wall like we belonged in Girlicious. Then we basically gave a chair what I'm imagining to be a lap dance. I am so out of my comfort zone with this; I'm not a dancer, I'm not a "sexy" person, and I most definitely can't remember choreography to save my life.

I love this. I guess that's why it's called "confident core cabaret."

Hmph, otherwise, my life's been boring. I study all the time (maybe not as much as I'd like), I go to class, I make meals and freeze them.

Oh good gravy, I've turned into a student house wife.
