Where I’ve Been

Hello friends,

It feels like I’m emerging from a void or the “upside-down” with this blog post. It’s been a very long time since I’ve written here. I have some interesting updates that explain where I’ve been all this time.

My 2018 had a very slow start but has become a life-changing year. I began 2018 focused on applying to jobs and updating this website, all while working a part-time retail job. Finally, 80 job applications later, I got an opportunity to start my career in environmental management with an amazing two-year internship! I got news about my placement in June, and by July I had moved to a new city and started my job.  

I now live in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s a small, growing city with lots of character. Callie made it to Peterborough too, and together we’ve been getting settled in our new home. If anything, she’s adjusted much better than me. I still wake up confused sometimes, unable to tell whether I’m in Vancouver, Ottawa or Peterborough. Funny how it feels like it took forever to get to this point, yet my body still hasn’t adjusted to the new reality. 

My new city is beautiful in a small city way. The neighborhoods are lined with big, old trees, and the houses here have colonial style (think archways, columns, and bedroom attics). I’m still adjusting to all my new routines, but I’ve been loving going to work. It’s rewarding to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I’ve spent so long developing. All I wanted while working retail was to be intellectually challenged. I won’t take that for granted now.  

Well, that’s my update. Now that things have settled down, I hope to write here more frequently. Stay tuned for more updates on “Callie and Amanda’s Grand Adventure” haha. 

I hope you’ve all been well too! 

Amanda

  2. Awesome website you have here but I was wanting to know if
    you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed
    here? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get advice from other experienced individuals that
    share the same interest. If you have any suggestions,
    please let me know. Bless you!

  3. You actually make it appear so easy along with your presentation but I
    to find this matter to be really one thing which I think I would by no means
    understand. It seems too complicated and very large for me.

    I am having a look ahead on your subsequent publish, I’ll
    attempt to get the hold of it!

  4. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog
    has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or
    outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without
    my authorization. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being ripped off?

    I’d really appreciate it.
