Welcome, Spring!
Akasha on Apr 13th 2008
It’s been one of those weeks! I don’t know about your part of the world but spring has really come along this week. It’s been bouncing from April showers to cool, sunny days (like today!) all week and I am loving it. This winter has been TOO long and it so needs to go, lol. So I have several good pieces of news to mention:
1. I’m moving at the end of April! G and I found a place in Toronto and we’re finally taking the plunge by moving in together. It’s exhilarating and nerve-wracking all at once. I’m going from living at home to living with my boyfriend? I would have liked an adjustment period (i.e. living on my own for awhile to “test the waters”, so to speak), but it just doesn’t make sense to move out on my own for a year and then move again to another place with G. Plus, I think we can both handle the changes that will come through living together.
2. I’ve been accepted to Centennial College for the Book and Magazine Publishing programme! I have not decided whether I’ll be going yet, though, because I might have a job with a publishing house already … more details to come once I know things have been finalized. 
3. I went to Philadelphia last weekend for a wedding and had a lot of fun. This was my first visit to a major American city and it was a blast! We saw the Liberty Bell, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Eastern State Penitentiary, just to name a few. You’re welcome to see the photo galleries here, here, and here.
So that’s been my life for the past little while. I have been way too busy for my own good and it’s likely not going to change in the next little while either. This week I also made the decision to cut down on my duties at TFL. You’ll likely see the posting soon but I’ll mention it here - I am giving up the FUC and Troubles role for the Movies category. These are the most time-consuming parts of the Movies category and I can feel my control slipping away as I let things build up and up before I update. I don’t want this category to get back-logged so the time has come to step down in that role. I still want to do applications, though, because I still find them a lot of fun! Sometimes you just gotta know when to fold ‘em, though.

Congrats on getting onto that college! It sounds wonderful!! Sounds like that’s a great place for a wonderful writer, or whatever it is that you’re planning to major in.
It definitely must be scary at the thought of moving from home in with your boyfriend, but that shows you’re maturing! Hope it works out for you. If it doesn’t work out, it’s definitely not the end!

It sounds like there’s a lot going on in your life right now. I guess it would be a bit odd moving in with your boyfriend considering that you were living at home. I’m sure it will work out though. =) Don’t worry about it too much. Congrats on getting into the college. That’s awesome.

Congrats on deciding to move in with G! You are not going to regret it. I am so happy that you are taking such a big step LOL! And good for you for getting into the college. If you go, I bet you will have fun. If not, you will find something really great to do. I loved your pictures. I really want to go to a place like that and see the monuments and such. I hardly ever get to go anywhere. Ah, I used to be the FUC staffer for movies and that was enough for me! I could never imagine doing all 3 jobs! I am in awe of you for taking it on for so long! Hopefully though you will now have more time to dedicate to other things.

Oh and I forgot to tell you how envious I am of you…it’s been snowing for the past week and it’s really cold here
