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

  3. Women in videos often fulfill a crucial part in conveying the notion and atmosphere of the media.

    Whether it is in musical videos, promotions, or cinema, their involvement adds dimension and emotion to the optical narrative.
    The manner they demonstrate senses, through motions, looks, and body language, can considerably sway the spectator’s link to the film.
    A effective display by a female protagonist can elevate a plain storyline into a forceful and remarkable instance, ensuring the clip resonate on a deeper degree.

    The representation of females in videos has transformed over time,
    demonstrating alterations in social beliefs and society’s norms.
    At present, there is a greater concentration on presenting ladies in various and strengthening functions,
    shifting from traditional clichés. This transformation enables more genuine and connectable
    presentations, in which females are represented as diverse individuals with their own stories to
    express. As a consequence, females in clips now add not just to
    the visuals, but also to the significance and reach of
    the visual content.
