The last while has been a bit of a blur. After celebrating mine and TJ's anniversary, I flew out the next morning and got to see my family and friends and attend my nephew's first birthday in Camrose! And I'm looking forward to a relaxing August. But for now, I have left TJ in van-city and am in Alberta, with two weeks left of my summer institute.
My mom and I watched the fireworks on July1st, from the field by their house. And I ended up getting one of my papers in very early that morning. And now....I'm in Calgary, baby. I have been loving the big prairie skies here.
School has been busy and it's been awesome to interact with my classmates in real life. It's funny how on-line interaction is so different than real life. It's so one-dimensional. I'm glad to see that all my other classmates are human beings, just like me. That may sound strange, but I'm not going to rephrase it! (Frankly, I've been doing enough of that lately...)
Also, I got my first pair of sunglasses in a few years, bit the bullet, so to speak. And I am proud of them, thus the cheesy self-portrait. There, how's that for a random blog post?
And to leave you with more randomness, here's the words to the song I am listening to right now:
Oh very young, what will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though you're dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
Denim blue, fading up to the sky
And though you want 'em to last forever, you know you never will
You know you never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young, what will you leave us this time?
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see better days
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven?
And though you want to last forever, you know you never will
