This September long weekend I headed to New York, for a very long overdue visit to my dear friend Esinam. She has lived there since she went to law school in 2012! I haven’t really been able to see her because it is so expensive to go from the West Coast to the East Coast of North America. I am currently in Montreal working with the Canadian Space Agency, so it is a lot more reasonable to get to New York.
This was a short visit during the long weekend and it was so good for my soul! I came to Montreal on my own and was really feeling homesick and isolated. Getting out of the city, really recharged my batteries. It was so nice to feel loved, and supported.
I don’t why I feel so isolated in Quebec. I am really fearful about not being able to speak French. And for some reason getting stuck somewhere. Luckily Uber is here, so I can always get directly home, even if it costs a bit more than transit.
I’m working on not needing these weekend recharges. I want to live everyday and enjoy the process. It is definitely not something that I know how to do, but I am absolutely working on that. I love my job, I just need to get comfortable in my community.
