Living in Toronto: Year 2, Day 2

Posted by Candice on September 7, 2009 at 11:28 am

We made it back to Toronto safe and sound.

Saturday was crazy as we packed up all of our belongings for the 100th time this year. This has become a rather horrific fun event that involves round after round of Suitcase Tetris, Guess the Suitcase Weight, and Try Not to Die While Wrestling a 49.5 lb Suitcase Down the Stairs. However, the ordeal was worth it this time as we brought a stereo and our CD collections with us so we can finally have some music fun times. It’s a pretty big deal though. Once we find a CD rack we’ll have to debate over how the CDs get organised (I’m a fan of by genre, then by favourites) but then we will have to merge our CDs. This is scary. We must be pretty serious about each other.

Anyway, or flight was pretty uneventful. We ended up leaving Deer Lake later than expected but our flight from there to Montreal was very smooth. After a few tears and sookey faces as were taking off I decided to watch “The Proposal” and Tom watched a comedy special and kept laughing really loudly. This distracted me enough to make it to Montreal. Once there we had about 1/2 hour in the airport. Then, after boarding, we had about an hour sitting in the plane on the runway. This was less than fun. Eventually, just a little more tired and hungry, we did make it to Toronto, took a cab back to the apartment and went to bed.

It’s hard to believe that is was over a year ago that we moved here. It’s nice coming back and not having to learn everything about the school and the city the way we did last year. I remembered that there are some things that I like about the city: the food, the weather, the recycling. But, there are also things that I hate: ummm, it’s not Newfoundland.

We’re spending today getting geared up for a busy year, but are already looking forward to getting home again in October!
