The List

So recently I took on the task of creating my bucket list, and it is huge! I want to do so many things, from reading all of Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales to climbing a mountain. Again, I think it might be a little crazy, but I think everything on that list is quite achievable.
One of the first things I want to is to get into amazing shape, and maintain that. I was talking to my online friend, (I met him over a year ago, we've never met in real life for the simple fact that he lives in North Africa and I'm in Canada, and we Skype every now and then). He's a great person to talk to...except when the day comes when its been a couple months and when he sees my face he tells me its gotten fat. F. M. L. I know I gained weight but holy heck! Fat face...not cool.
So I have been looking up health and fitness activities that are available at the University. New school, new home, new body, new me!

Worms in the tummy

So when I was little and whenever I was nervous I always thought I had worms squirming in my tummy, not butterflies fluttering (because shouldn't that be a pleasant feeling?), no I had squirming worms. Well those worms are creeping up on me.
I looked at the calendar today and I am officially one month away from moving to my new home in Ottawa. New home. New school. New language. New life. Now I am excited for this change, but there are the worms there. It could possibly be because I know I am going to miss the most important people in life. The fact that I could fail, and then what? Or maybe it's just the simple fact that it will be one of the biggest changes of my life. Thinking about saying good-bye to all the people I love, makes me well up...but when I also think about what an amazing experience I am going to have, I smile. It will be hard, but the more I think about it, I am ready to say good-bye and start a new chapter in life. I will be sure to visit and re-live some of the moments I've had, but the future is bright! One more month....I better make it a good one!
