Montreal for Beginners

What a long and satisfying day! (Also, most of this is probably for my Mum, so I'm sorry if it bores you, who might not be my Mum).

So, as it turns out, I will not have a roommate, which has its ups and its downs, but mostly it's kind of great to not deal with anyone else's stuff. But I will admit that I don't feel like I have enough to fill all this space. But so it goes.

After moving in my things (with the valiant help of Pop and our family friend Danyelle), they took off and I unpacked at ninja speed. The girl from whom I am subletting went out for a few errands before her plane, and was astonished that when she got back, I was moved in, for all intents and purposes. After that, I went grocery shopping and supplemented the pasta supplies that I brought from Vermont, as well as the usual, yogurt, milk, fruit, etc. I was fortunate that they left like, rolls and rolls of toilet paper. Also, this grocery store delivers for free, and my groceries got to my apartment in like, 35 minutes. This was an awesome realization.

After I unpacked my groceries and went and bought my books for class and some McGill merch (okay I cracked and bought a sweatshirt I'm sorry), I went to a place called Dollarama and got a dish drain and other such plastic things. Finally, I showered and made dinner, for which Conrad came over, which was nice for the company. He told me about a dining coop in the city that has an open meal on Thursday nights, which we'll check out at some point soon.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to take it easy, but there's a Contact Improv jam at 11:30 am, which might be a really fun way to meet some people. I might hold off until next weekend, especially if I'm really really sleepy tomorrow (a possibility, to be sure). It's within walking distance, so that's really tempting.

I have really been enjoying the cool air that comes in from my balcony. It really keeps the apartment cool and full of breeze. I think I shall spend many a night out there.

I'm finally settling down a little after a crazy-long day, which feels pretty okay for me. There's plenty of room, visitors are always welcome. Tomorrow I will probably write many letters, so send me your address! by email if you can. So much love to the States, I miss you all.
