So, I didn't end up biking to Vic again. I know it looks like I'm avoiding it, but I'm really not. My knee has been getting messed up from biking, and I saw my doctor today and figured it out. It's some weird thing that just happens, mostly to runners. Turns out it lasts for like, 6 months then decides to disappear usually. So I'll look for some deep stretches, and take breaks while biking, and see what happens. Yesterday was a really good day. I hung out with Cory, and we walked all over the place, and talked, and chilled up on the summit for awhile, it was awesome. Then we went back to his place and chilled for awhile there, he lives at a really amazing place. He also gave me an amber synth dread, and a couple beads with it, and he gave me a set of runes, and a book explaining how they're used, and what they mean. I'm excited to learn about them. Then after that, I went to Malcolm's, and Tristan was there. Eventually Paul, and Greg showed up. We drank beers, and bbq'ed, and it was a good way to end my day. Today's been pretty frenetic sofar. I got up at 8, left at 9, got to the doc's at 9:40ish. Talked to him about my knee, and the tuberculin test, and a hearing test. Turns out I can get the TB test in Sooke, so I got that done. Then my Grandma and I (She drove me into Langford) dealt with our joint savings account, so now we can both do whatever we need. I also chatted with Jazzy, which was fantastic. Thennn I went home, and set up a hearing test for tomorrow morning. I checked the mail, and I got $500 for my passport to education, which is super cool. So I think I've got $750 total sitting there. Then I biked up Sooke and got our dog's license. So today's been good, busy. I work at 5. I'm just feeling really good after accomplishing a lot, and not having to worry about money or that kind of stuff. It's such a relief. So weird at the same time. I'm feeling really inspired to be out in nature. I want to hike through the Carmanah Valley, Cathedral Grove, San Juan Park, Red Creek, Strathcona Park, just all the old growth areas on the island. Suan Juan Park is home to the second largest Spruce in the world, I think, the San Juan Spruce. Then Red Creek is home to the Red Creek Fir, the largest Fir tree in the world. I dunno, if I know you fairly well, and you've got a 4x4 or some knowledge of the area, or you've been there before, I'd love to go. So uh, yeah. I dunno, I really want to see what this island/coast has to offer before it's all gone. On the whole, I feel quite refreshed and just.... calm. It's nice. I'm so loaded with anticipation it's ridiculous though. I feel like I could explode everytime I think about my exchange. Which is a lot.
*boom*
Be well!
