Where I’ve Been

By Amanda – Posted on

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!

  3. I’ve been exploring for a little bit for any high quality articles or blog posts
    on this sort of space . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this website.
    Studying this information So i’m satisfied to express that I have an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I found out exactly what I needed.
    I most for sure will make sure to do not put out of your mind this site and give it a look on a constant
    basis.

  7. This is the right website for anybody who hopes to find out
    about this topic. You realize so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually will need to…HaHa).

    You definitely put a new spin on a topic which has been discussed
    for a long time. Great stuff, just wonderful!

  8. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to shoot
    you an email. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it improve over
    time.

  16. Запой никогда не проходит самостоятельно, и если он продолжается в течение нескольких дней, организм начинает испытывать серьёзный дефицит жизненно важных веществ и страдать от прогрессирующего накопления токсичных продуктов распада алкоголя, в связи с чем необходимо незамедлительно обратиться за помощью к профессиональным врачам, чтобы предотвратить развитие опасных для жизни осложнений.
