Since moving into this new life in Cornfield Town, a lot has changed. And as much as I'm pro-change, there are things that I miss very dearly. And since we're at this list-making time of the year, here's a list of things (and people, and moments) that I miss very dearly:
16. Short-drive access to decent restaurants that can seat more than twenty people
15. The quaint town-square and its farmer's markets
14. Impromptu Lunches with Her at Petra Cafe
13. The Dickson Street Bookstore
12. Iron Horse Coffee Company
11. Kimpel's asbetos-filled halls (who knew?)
10. My own office space - yegods, old large wooden desk, I miss you.
9. Being able to breathe without the neighbours hearing me
8. Vaulted ceilings (and while I'm at it, in-house washer-dryer systems)
7. Living in a place where pets don't defecate on my doorstep
6. Long, pointless walks
5. Following Galactic Suburbia
4. Writing
3. Reading (yes, ironically)
2. Reading Science Fiction, specifically
And most of all, I miss
1. Having the time to do things for myself without guilt
Clearly, this semester here has been incredibly frustrating, and I'm not even counting the academic stuff yet.*
* Okay, clearly this is not a gratefulness post. And to compensate, I admit that this move has had a couple of saving graces. I've met a few wonderful people here - people that warm my heart. And I've found a awe-bloody-some yoga studio.
