Yes, I've been AWOL...
Sorry I haven't had much time to update this blog. I'm hoping once I manage to get into a steady state with my job, it'll be easier to get things done in my own personal time. Right now I'm away from home 12 hours a day 5 days a week, so once you factor in sleeping, eating, getting ready, and all that, there's not much time to spare. I really do wish I lived closer to work, and that the commute wasn't an hour and a half each way, but I'm going to try to hang on for a while at least, to build up a bit of a nest egg before I move out of my parents' place again.
To make things worse, this weekend and next weekend are both concert weekends, so my precious free weekends have been more or less blitzed away by the concerts. I like the music we're playing, but I kind of wish I had more time of my own to do the things I want to do (mainly talking to and/or hanging out with friends, practicing more cello, and the like). But like I said, we'll see how long I last with this commute. Maybe I'm just a wuss, but I really do miss the days back in Victoria where I could walk 10 minutes to a bus stop, ride the bus for 15 minutes, and be at the school. Ah, the good old days!
So, for those of you who've contacted me in the last couple of weeks, I haven't forgotten about you, and thank you all for your encouragement. I'm just trying to catch up with my own life at the moment!
In the meantime, Dad has lent me his iPod, so I am busy downloading music to the thing, to help entertain myself during those long bus rides. Next up: learn how to use the thing...
