The honest truth

Here it is my friends, the honest truth....
Everyone asks me how we're enjoying Ottawa and I usually just say that it's going well, school is good, etc, because that it the polite thing to say. But the truth of the matter is, I am not enjoying it. I miss my friends, I miss the ocean, I miss the weather in Victoria, I miss it all. I know when I moved to Victoria I knew no one, and I was miserable for awhile, but I fell in love with the city right away. And slowly I made a place for myself and found friends. But it's taking me awhile to fall in love with this city, and while we have made some friends, it's hard to replace friends you've had for eight years. And the weather...well it just plain sucks. It is April 11, and the forecast is for 10cm of snow overnight. My poor little flowers aren't ever going to bloom if this keeps up. My list of grievances is long, and I am not going to innumerate them. The only thing that is getting me through on my down days is the knowledge that we only have to be here for another year and a half. My song might change, so keep checking back.
