settling in
Now Playing: "Gotta Have Gospel - On the Street"
I'm disappointed in the selection of emoticons for "mood" in this blogger thing, there is no "content", which is how I feel today. I feel like I am settling back into life in Vancouver.

Yesterday I had a perfect lunch with Karen and Tara (well, as perfect as it could be without Kristy there) at the Bread Garden. The Bread Garden is one of those distinctly Vancouverish places, and sitting on the patio was so westcoast, it almost made me want to giggle. Then we went shopping afterwards at an asian dish shop that had some beautiful stuff, and browsing around Metrotown I felt like I was home, and oh so happy to be shopping with the girls. I was very excited to pick up my UPass transit pass on Monday at school. Now I can be independent again and take transit anywhere I want, anytime I want. I think that is something I missed this summer, being independent. I know I missed public transit (you should have seen my big smile when I took the train to Metrotown yesterday) but I think it was more the independence that transit affords me that I missed.

A resolution for the upcoming school year: take more pictures! I have a digital camera, why don't I use it more often? I used it lots this summer, so I will try to use it often this fall too.
