Life Updates

1. I started a new job about a month ago. It's part time. I wake up around 5:30AM Monday to Friday. It can get exhausting, but a job is a job is a job. I'm a barista. It's OK. 
2. I was seeing a guy for a bit back in August. We're not seeing each other anymore. Instead, I text one of my best girlfriends every day and I tell her two days ago that she's basically my pseudo-boyfriend. 
3. My student loans officially start requiring repayment on November 30th, 2015.
4. I've almost begun the process to begin applications for graduate programs (and others). Yesterday, I met with an old high school advisor and we talked about school and life. She graduated out of Queen's University too, and she told me that when she first moved to Toronto after her undergraduate degree, she was pretty lonely in the city. Fast forward a couple of years, everyone ended up moving to Toronto. That's my hope too.
5. Two Saturdays ago, I had a job interview. I have a second interview this Friday. 
6. Over the last month or so, I've been to this one sushi shop at Dundas & University far too often. They have this great take-out special. It's $4.99 (excluding tax) for 16 pieces of sushi and a can of pop/water/juice. I think the girls might recognize me. I usually get 16 pieces of spicy salmon sushi and a can of ginger ale. 
7. I haven't been making a lot of art, but I'm picking it back up. I started a new journal and I've done quite a few small watercolours. One hungover Saturday after Halloween, I pack my journal and some pens and go to sketch the skyline at Sunnyside Beach. It was windy, I was all alone, and it was divine.
8. I'm still slowly settling back into my life, back into myself. Things are progressing.
