is gorgeous!
Not only is the european feel very addicting, but the lifestyle and the amount of things to do is amazing. I love how I can go 15 minutes from my house to the Byward Market, chill on the patio of the hundreds of restaurants. Or if it's too hot, I can sit inside with the A/C next to a gigantic opening in the wall so it's LIKE i'm sitting outside. Definitely not environmentally friendly but definitely audrey-friendly.
I love how there's so many flavours of gelato that my friends and I have decided to try them all before we leave. I love how people are so active here that it makes me want to be active as well. I love how our parliament hill is on a cliff and I never knew that but when I saw it, it was one of the most gorgeous sights I've ever seen. I love how I can hear random french everywhere I go or how the asian food sucks so I'm forced to try new white food.
Going to a Ottawa garage sale for charity tomorrow. Hoping to pick up some furniture(?) or at least some useful things to use in our Waterloo home.

i heart law and order
Being at home having nothing to do is a great time to watch series that are old yet you never got to watch. Take law and order for example... according to tv shack, there's 417 episodes in law an order... that's not including law and order: _______ fill in the blank.
I don't know what it is... the acting sucks, the fashion is so old school
but i love the stories!
and not to metnion this man
ben stone.
i don't think he's particularly good looking... he's kind old... but i think i need to marry a superhero or something or someone who fights for justice like this guy... its just so.... 멋있어!! hehehehe
ANYWAYS
Went to pastor will and pastor joe's convocation today.

the short athlete life
My cousin just competed in the Ontario winter olympics for figure skating. She got a gold medal. And now she is ranked 10th in Canada, number 1 in ontario. Good for her! Mind you, she's still pre-novice, which is a long way to go, but she loves it and honestly, she has a talent for it.
We got onto the topic of Kim Yuna.
She did her first triple axle at age 11.
Some girls never get enough power to do a triple in their lifetimes.
Its' the equivalent of a guy doing a quad.
Mind you I don't think she does it in competition but still... 11!
For those who have been clearly out of the loop, Kim Yuna killed her own world record for scores at the Van2010 olympics, winning the gold medal hands down.
People say she should retire.
Why? Because she's top. It's undeniable that she's the best out there and people say that's good enough. She has enough money to support herself for the rest of her life and she could probably do easy gigs here and there.
But really? She's so young. She's 1990.. i'm 1989.. Freak man. If my career was over at 20, I don't know what i'd do with myself. Wouldn't I want to keep challenging myself? Go for a gold again! Or keep beating my old record. Try a quad. Add triples in competition... Would I be that scared of defeat that I would retire when i was at top?

excited!
i got the job in ottawa!
I'll be using SAS to do stats analysis finding risk factors for diabetes and other chronic illnesses.. Perhaps write a paper?
I was kind of dreading this job interview just because i didn't want to go home. I feel like with waterloo coop, you're always coming and going and i actually haven't been at home for more than a month in the past year (now it'll be year and a half). On top of that, with the KCF exec thing I'm trying to get an 8 month position in waterloo meaning i won't have been home regularly for 3 years in a row. Even worse, I really wanted to stay because of all the changes and huge things that are going on in church and softball...
But strangely enough, I'm excited.
I looked up housing finding out that my great aunt lives in ottawa (free housing!)
My mom said that since my aunt isn't exactly close to my workplace i could have the car (HEE)
i looked up watpubs and there's a ton of ppl in ottawa!
ottawa's pretty cool.. tons of events!
and most of all, i have an awesome job that i think and hope i will love!
