i think that living in southern ontario you start to take for granted everything that's available to you. whatever you want whenever you wanted it - something was always open. if you want groceries and it's 2am - no problem, 24 hour groceries stores are everywhere... want broccoli at 2am - you'll be able to find it 99% of the time.
even nature seems that much more available. with the exception of major bugs and/or flooding trails seem to be open and plans are able to pull through...
labrador isn't like that... here you go to the grocery store (if you make it before it closes) and cross your fingers that most of the produce you want is good - or that the trucks made it in and there are food on the shelves... and from there you adapt --- if somethings missing you go without it for a week - and that has become the norm for me...
nature also has it's added fun... today after school mike and i were going to do survivor 2; a geocaching adventure... however once we had arrived at our first coordinates (by 4 wheeler of course) there was a moose and 2 calves blocking our way... since we didn't want to get charged by her... we just went for a ride instead... living here is really emphasizing the need to adapt and change plans --- and that is done easily around here... people just see what they have to work with and move on...
kinda like it.


also - i'm leaving in a month exactly... by this time july 2 i will be most of the way to lab city (hopefully!!!) i haven`t decided how i feel about all that yet...
