my first year in Montreal

This was going to be a post about my first year and a review of 2012, but I don't want to talk about New Year's, so it's just going to be about my first year in Montreal. Yes, it has been a full year since I moved here [actually a year and a month because I didn't get this written or posted before now].

I've had some ups and downs but it has definitely been a great year!

A different Christmas for 2011

Happy Christmas!

If you have ever spent a Christmas away from home, I can only assume they get easier after the first one. Needless to say I had a bit of an emotional day and I sort of knew I would. Seeing as I know next to no one in this huge city I had decided that I would go to the movies. For years I seen movies with the release date of Christmas Day and always thought 'why would you go to the movies on Christmas Day'. After making this decision to go, I've found out that that lots of people go and I wasn't even the only one that was there alone. I might have been the only one that saw 2 movies at 2 different theatres though.

2 weeks!

I've officially been in Montreal for 2 full weeks!! It doesn't feel like it's been that long and I guess that really isn't a long time.

Anyway today I planned to go to the Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal, Contemporary Art, but after I looked it up online it didn't look like something I wanted to see. So I looked up other Art Galleries and I found the Museum of Fine Art. It looked more interesting and it was free to visit. By the time I left the apartment, it was mid afternoon. When I got off the Metro I went the wrong way down the street. After I got turned around and found where I was going it was 3:30ish. I wanted to see as much art as I could, but the place closes at 5. So I walked all the way up to the 4th level.
