With Summer 2009 way past us, I often find myself looking outside my window just thinking 'Where on Earth has the time gone?!". The truth is, time has been going as it usually does, as it has been going since the beginnings of civilization; I just haven't noticed it yet until major time periods in my life go passing by.

The transition to university has been definitely with its challenges, but also with it rewards. No longer do I have to be in a limited food varieties cafeteria, I can now choose from an array of delicious treats; some inspired by places halfway around the globe. My classes are a different story; lectures and tutorials, labs, whatever kind of class they may be are larger than life! Some professors will make the effort to learn your name and your face, while others are just satisfied with getting their ideas out there to the students they teach.

And well, thats just school. Work in itself has become somewhat of a staple to my life. My schedule has become routine: nine and a half hours every Saturday, except for the occasional Saturday I take off, fearing that I will go utterly insane if I don't. My tasks, the same as they have always been: cashing out customers, dealing with customers, stocking shelves, filling homes. I remember back to a time where I was actually excited about this job, but now my feelings have plateaued. Its not that I hate my job, its great, but as a young adult in the modern world, you can't help but wonder "Whats next, where can I go to further myself?".

Then there comes social relationships. Whether they be platonic or perhaps something more, one can't help but wonder whats around the corner. There have been a few events such as the YorkFest concert which rhythm and blues artists came and performed as well as a few electronica acts. That was enjoyable as well as the daytime fair along campus walk. It was my first little taste of the university social life and I think I like it. An inter-racial novelist once wrote "When you look for love, you never find it". I pace back and forth wondering whether or not that holds some truth.

Whenever I come across quotes I can't help but over analyze them until I can interpret certain outcomes. Quotes I think are the spice intellects and regular citizens alike can get used to.

Recently, (Friday evening I believe] I went to the poster sale they were holding in Vari Hall at York University. Not knowing what I wanted to purchase, I started talking to a few strangers. Before I knew it, I came home with three posters that I am quite pleased with. The first, being a Twilight poster. But not just any ordinary Twilight poster, this one was a photo of Edward and Bella; a very cold, yet stunning pose and below their photo a quote from Edward Cullen straight from Midnight Sun (An unreleased Twilight piece by author Stephenie Meyer). The next, a painting of a crying girl, while two other figures are hidden in the background. There is this element of strong emotion that I couldn't draw myself away from it, and I bought the piece. And lastly, a piece consisting of a couple called "Kissing Quartet". It was shot in black & white, and it seemed so candid, so romantic and so I bought that as well.

Art has been somewhat of an interest of mine, although I see myself more as an appreciator of art rather than a creator of it.
