Where I’ve Been

Hello friends,

It feels like I’m emerging from a void or the “upside-down” with this blog post. It’s been a very long time since I’ve written here. I have some interesting updates that explain where I’ve been all this time.

My 2018 had a very slow start but has become a life-changing year. I began 2018 focused on applying to jobs and updating this website, all while working a part-time retail job. Finally, 80 job applications later, I got an opportunity to start my career in environmental management with an amazing two-year internship! I got news about my placement in June, and by July I had moved to a new city and started my job.  

I now live in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s a small, growing city with lots of character. Callie made it to Peterborough too, and together we’ve been getting settled in our new home. If anything, she’s adjusted much better than me. I still wake up confused sometimes, unable to tell whether I’m in Vancouver, Ottawa or Peterborough. Funny how it feels like it took forever to get to this point, yet my body still hasn’t adjusted to the new reality. 

My new city is beautiful in a small city way. The neighborhoods are lined with big, old trees, and the houses here have colonial style (think archways, columns, and bedroom attics). I’m still adjusting to all my new routines, but I’ve been loving going to work. It’s rewarding to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I’ve spent so long developing. All I wanted while working retail was to be intellectually challenged. I won’t take that for granted now.  

Well, that’s my update. Now that things have settled down, I hope to write here more frequently. Stay tuned for more updates on “Callie and Amanda’s Grand Adventure” haha. 

I hope you’ve all been well too! 

Amanda

  1. Раньше я думал иначе, благодарю за помощь в этом вопросе.
    at the moment the estimated cost of treatment of autism with stem cells ranges from 5,000 to 50,000 dollars based on country and from clinics in which is being carried out.

  2. I’ve been reading through different Flush Factor Plus Reviews, and it’s interesting to see such mixed opinions.
    Some people say it really helped with their joint pain and mobility, while
    others didn’t notice much difference. I guess it might work differently for everyone.
    Would be great to hear from anyone who’s tried it long-term!

  3. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything. However
    just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your
    posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this
    website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.

    Fantastic blog!

  4. Just came across this video and found The Genius Wave reviews consumer reports pretty
    interesting. If something as simple as audio can actually help with focus and stress, that’s definitely worth looking into.

    Has anyone here tried it consistently?

  5. What you wrote was very logical. But, what about this?
    suppose you were to write a awesome headline? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a headline to maybe grab a person’s attention? I mean Where I’ve Been – Nature is
    Love is kinda vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo’s
    front page and see how they write post headlines to grab people to open the links.

    You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about
    everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit
    more interesting.
