Time To Finally Update This Darn Thing

Its been quite a while since i last updated this and quite a lot has happened to me since.
I'm now living on my own, in my own place near the university. This is something that i have wanted since first year. To have the independence that many of my peers have. For those of you who are not familiar with my struggle, i have been living with my parents all throughout my four years of university and for 3 of thos years i have had to car pool with my parents in and out of the city just to get to school. some days i would have to wait around for 8 hours to go home, others i would make my parents wait for me. and each and every night the Rutherford family would have to have a family meeting right before bed to discuss how Rob was going to get to uni and then back home again. I hated being so dependent on my parents, i honestly felt like a parasite. As a matter of fact i got so depressed by it in second year i nearly had a break down.

Now that i have moved out i truly am enjoying the liberty that comes with it. However i am feeling a bit torn. Somehow i fell like i am missing the life that i so romanticised about while i was waiting all those times. The place i am in is great, awesome in fact. My roommates are decent, though i have been here 3 days and still haven't met one of them. It all seems a bit lonely somehow. I can't help feeling like if i had asked Chris to move in to his place, it would have been better. Like that situtaion would have been more what i was looking for than here. A cool place to call my own, lots of friendly roommates and all the ammenities that come with living in the city.

Maybe i'm being too whiny, i do enjoy where i am and the situation i am in. It just doesn't feel like home yet, and I guess that is what is bothering me. All my stuff is here, but it doesn't feel like this place is mine...yet.

Just give it time, and i'll be too busy with school to even thing about my living situation.

Speaking of which, for those of you who read this in the UK, classes started this week for us Albertans and i have been getting the coursework thrown at me like The professors thought i wanted all this work. I don't know what their problem is, but they're making me read way too much! just kidding, i'm acutually really looking forward to this semester, it should prove to be a very stressful, challenging one. I'm looking forward to breaking the old procrastination habit and actually buckeling down and getting some high quality learning done. which, on that note i will leave you because it is 11:30pm and i have many a reading to get done for tomorrow.
take care.
Rob.
