I have already spent a good deal of time talking about all the new things I get to learn here in LP. I have shared my excitement before at the thought of filling my head with all kinds of information. But there’s another matter, that of unlearning, that is fast becoming my default line of … Continue reading Unlearning

Thanks Again :)
Is it cheating if I say I'm thankful for the same things every week? Or if I say the things I'm thankful for that I have back in the States but don't have here? Well, I suppose I can make up the rules but today I have new things to be thankful for anyway (along … Continue reading Thanks Again 🙂
House Hunting No More
I found a place!!!! I'm supposed to be moving on Sunday if they make all the changes I requested by Saturday. I can't wait to unpack, start decorating, cook dinner, have people over and all that.

But its just one bedroom so that means it will always be $300. The 3 bedroom that … Continue reading The House that Couldn’t Be
To House or Not to House
Its about that time when I have to make a decision about my permanent living situation. I can stay where I am until the 23rd of this month, but I had hoped to move after four weeks into my own place. I haven't unpacked, I've done no decorating, and although its starting to feel like … Continue reading To House or Not to House
The Bottomless Jar of Adventure
I am instituting what I would like to call a ‘bottomless jar of adventure’ (BJA) that I’m hoping starting in July to crowd-source. What that means is that I want YOU to help me choose my next adventure. This BJA contains slips of paper drawn once a day, six days a week, with a task … Continue reading The Bottomless Jar of Adventure
