I finally moved into my beautiful Ottawa apartment, and i love it. It's near the market and there are parks and bike paths everywhere. yesterday i went jogging along the canal, then i rollerbladed through the crowded streets of the market to parliament hill. i got an ice cream cone and sat on the grass pretending to read, but really.. i was just people-watching. a five year old playing hide and seek with her dad, a drumming circle in one corner, frisbees and footballs everywhere.
dear summer: i love you.
in other news.... i've stopped stressing about my roommate situation. i was the first to arrive; the rest will move in between today and wednesday. i'm living with three women who i really like, but who are very very different. two of them are pretty inflexible; i spent a lot of time worrying, but now i've become curiously detached. it has now become a bit of a social experiment; i'm interested to see how long it will take them to kill each other.
my one roommate brought seeds for an organic garden, stuff to make a compost pile on our balcony, and her sewing machine so she can make more reusable pads. my other roommate is working on an environmental video on global warming for the Discovery Channel, and they fly her all over the world every couple of weeks so she can do more interviews. she's also working at CIDA doing environmental assessment work. And then there's the third woman, who bringing half an ounce of pot, can't even say the word "menstruation" in public, and thinks that global warming is a myth.
it's going to be fun.
i think i'll spend a lot of time sitting on parliament hill, eating ice cream.
