early mornings that turn into a good day

A good day in my books, doesn't usually start until about noon. However, sometimes getting up early has it's advantages.

Like today for example, I set my alarm for 7:30 and planned to be out the door by 8...well it was closer to 8:15 by the time I was out the door. So I rushed to the Metro, which was full of people. After I was nearly down the 3 flights of stairs/escalators I saw that there was a train already there. Instead of rushing to get it, I figured there would be another along shortly. It was hot and starting to get crowded again, so I looked at my watch to see that it was nearly 8:30. Usually I have nothing but time but today I had to at the VIA train station for 9:05. I knew it would take a good 15 minutes to get to the Peel station and then about 10 to get me to the VIA station. So I was starting to panic a bit.

on this date in 2007

Five years ago I was in Pittsburgh, PA witnessing my first (and only so far) live NHL hockey game with my sister. The game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Pittsburgh Penguins was broadcast live on Hockey Night in Canada, so my parents were able to enjoy it too. I don't remember all the details about the game (I have it written down, don't worry) but the highlight of the night wasn't the game. After the game we went down to the locker room area, I don't think we were that close to the locker room but that is irrelevant. We were waiting down there for the best player in the NHL, Sidney Crosby!

Hello Montreal!

I’m really not sure what that is from but we’ve, my family and I, have been saying it for years. I thought it was a perfect title for this post, considering I am in Montreal!! And I said Hello to Montreal early this morning!

You read right, I’ve made the big move and Montreal is my new home.

As I posted last night, my flight was early this morning. We left home around 4AM, it was dark and raining, we got to the airport with lots of time to spare. I’ve only flown twice before today and it seemed to be a normal trip through the airport, except almost not being able to check my luggage, see it was 79 lbs, 80 is the limit I think. I managed to fit my ‘whole life’ is one large suit case, a book bag, laptop bag and a camera bag, I thought I did pretty good. If I had to remove something from my suitcase that might have caused problems but I would have done it, if I had too. However, I didn’t have too, yay! It didn’t make traveling any easier though, it was me that had to drag it through the airport and me that had to drag it on and off the shuttle. But I made it!

your move orrrr My move...

I know I have been MIA, but I haven't really had any new news. I didn't want to write "I've been looking for a job, a place to stay and at plane tickets..." I would have had to write it over and over and that is not interesting to read.
So I can officially say that I am moving to Montreal! My bags are packed (almost) and I have already checked in and printed my boarding pass. That's right I am leaving in the morning!! It's only been a week or so since I purchased my ticket.
I'm going to try and keep this blog updated on my adventures.
