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

  3. Hey there! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!

  4. I think what you said made a great deal of sense.

    However, what about this? what if you added a little information? I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid., but what if you added something that grabbed a person’s
    attention? I mean Where I’ve Been – Nature is Love is kinda boring.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write post titles to get viewers to
    click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written.
    Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.
