Most people have heard of the Bucket List, a list of things you want to have achieved before you die. Well there's mine on the right side of the screen. I thought this blog would be a fun way to document each item as I accomplish it, and hear others opinion's on my Bucket List items. If anyone ever finds my little blog, feel free to leave comments, I'd love to hear from you. It would amaze me to have people decided to follow it!

126. Move Away From Home

It has been an extremely busy last few days.  On September 1st I left my house at 5:45am in the morning, and set out on the highway for Edmonton, Alberta.  I'm going to the University of Alberta, and taking Engineering. A couple days ago I moved into residence, which totally counts as moving away from home!  I have started a new chapter in my life, and I'm ready to embrace the new experiences.


The residence I live in is dorm style living; I have a double room with a roommate.  Since I hadn't shared a room since I was four years old (with my little sister), I worried about how I would get along with my new roommate.  At first we were both quiet, but we get along pretty well as we get to know each other.  Having a roommate is an important part of the university experience!

I tried to write a post on the day I moved in, but there have been so many things to do, I haven't had the time.  I have met countless new people, most of which I have forgotten their names.  The university of Alberta has a very competitive dodge ball tournament between the tower floors in residence; I have had fun playing in very competitive dodge ball games.  The University's campus is big, and fun to explore!   Slowly I'm adjusting to my new life, and I see many bucket list items being completed in the near future.

P.S. Tomorrow I start classes, it will get busier, but I will still find time for my blog!
