DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDES!! I've been in this crazy insane town for three weeks. I really can't believe my good luck. First off, my roommates are amazing. Second, my friends here are unbelievable! Thirdly, my job is the most kick ass one out of all the exchange jobs!!! Only shitty thing is that I missed the Saint Alvia in concert last week. Ah well, Bedouin's playing in Toronto on June 13! Yay! I'm so excited! Like seriously, I have no reason to NOT go. *sigh* Why oh why is music so amazing???

.... and weird on top. What. The. Fuck. This is only one of the memorable quotes from David Lynch's 1990 Cannes Film Festival winner, Wild At Heart . I went to go see it at a theatre here in Montreal with a few other interns from Alberta and one of my roommates, Paul.  Even though the movie was completely insane (hello?? David Lynch??), we all had a terrific time. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. After the movie, we all went to a 24-hour Second Cup that was around the corner. After we finished our coffees, we all headed home... The metro close to our apartment closed at 12:19 so we had to walk home in the rain. Two hours later, we finally got home; we were wet, tired and thirsty. All in all, though, it was fun hanging out with him. He is very easy to talk to and I'm going to invite him out with us more often. 

Life in Montreal is pretty awesome. We had a party last night at Steph and Codie's place. They're insanely adorable and their little apartment is insane! Their stove only has two settings: On and Off. Hahahah!! This is what it looks like   it's checkered and tiny... and a-fuckin-dorable! I just know that this summer is going to be crazy insane fun! I didn't get home until 6:30 this morning!! Hahaha!      

It feels like ages since I last wrote. Montreal is beautiful! I love my neighbourhood, my workplace and my new friends! So far, everything is going swimmingly. This is the view from my window: Today was my first day of work and (yay!) I have my own desk, my own computer, my own mailbox… and my very own project! I’m so stoked. It’s a bit intimidating when I stop and think about it, but I know that everything will go well. It’s not like I’m an idiot or anything… right?? Don’t answer that. I’ve made a few AWESOME friends! I love all of them already and I can’t wait for what these three months have in store for all of us. There are about seventeen of us at the moment, but fifteen more Uni students from Ontario came in yesterday. We’re meeting them all tomorrow for an afternoon of what I hope will be “goodness”. Only downer is that there are only THREE boys. Ahem. What the eff is up with that?!?! Although the Montreal boys are much more oh la la than any Edmonton boys I’ve seen. Must be bec

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go... And so begins my trip to Montreal. I am so mellow right now that it scares me. Is it a good sign when you feel nothing... no jitters? No butterflies....? I can only assume that this calm is a good thing. I mean, what's there to worry about, right??? It's not like my plane's going to plummet into the ground and I will die... right?? Oh my morbid, morbid mind. 

This past week I've had to say goodbye to all of my close friends. I know I'm only going to Montreal for three months, but  Jenn and Crystal are moving to Cowtown in August Jo is moving to Vancouver in August Armando is starting his teaching job in September, and Alex is traveling through Europe for SEVEN months!!! Eeee. I'll miss them all like you have no clue. They're all especially nice and funny. Knowing that I won't see them whenever I want to, really sucks. It's not that I'm regretting my decision to work in Montreal, but it's going to be tough saying goodbye to so many good friends.
