Wolfville

Here I am. Back in Nova Scotia and back in school - Acadia University. Yesterday was my first day, and as I finished getting my i.d. card (for third time in my life) I walked away from the student union building and looked towards the BAC Building and felt like nothing had changed. That the six years that had passed where only a few days or months. Since first arriving in Wolfville in 1989, I've also liked this place. It's the small school atmosphere with big school pride.

When I first applied to go back to school my life was simple - just me. However that changed in January when I met and starting dating TracyLynn. The past weekend I had a lot of time to think - no internet or TV - and realized that I missed two things. Tracy being the first and my cat Boo the other. Sounds strange, but this is only the second time since I was three that there wasn't a pet - mainly a cat around. The last time was in when I returned to Acadia in 2001 and lived in residence - then that summer Boo appeared at 10 Summer Street.

As for Tracy, well I've never had to leave someone. Ideally, it would have been great if she could have moved here too, but it's not realistic. She has her kids, house, job . . . well her life in Corner Brook. So here I sit looking at the clock and realizing that I have to head to a orientation.
