A fairly frustrating past two weeks.
*Weather seriously affected my productivity. I am really psychologically connected to what's happening out my window, and now that the sun is shining I feel a billion times better. Couldn't ever live in Vancouver.
*Had personal bull to deal with. Evil government. Grrrrr.
*Spent much time at York U's library, researching for my thesis and also organizational structure wrt TIG. It is challenging attempting to be new but restrained by the reality of now, isn't it?
*Really feelin the yoga stuff, I love the mindspace it takes me to and I'm definately commiting myself to it.
*Bartending is mucho fun! And the establishment I waitress at for some reason is going through a rash of Bar Mitzvahs, which are fascinating.
*Goals for next week are getting moving on TIL stuff and approving articles, getting more authors in the zine loop and planning with Karis on a topic timeline.
GO LEAFS GO!!!

*Still attempting to get into the groove of my new schedule!
TIG Things in my world:
1.We had a TIG@York meeting on April 29 where we decided to develop the website as a starting point...I'm not sure where we stand...I'll send out an email...
2. Working on a strategy for Taking IT Local and the country sites. This has been very challenging because the concepts are huge and hard for my wee brain to wrap around...also I'm not the greatest writer so I'm definately learning from it all! I'm working more at the library @ Hart House, my most inspiring place to work.
3. Meeting tonight with Jen to hopefully get a contract from the salon I work part time at to develop their website. Yeah!

Other stuff in my life now...
1. My summer school Urban Studies course started and looks really interesting - one text is called "The Geography of Nowhere"
2. Haven't had time to work on my thesis at all - grrrrr
3.Working a lot of hours at the salon where I'm receptionist - seen half the Leaf hockey team in Yorkville - Domi, Corson (twice!), Sundin, McCabe...:)
4. YEAHHH! Got hired to work as a bartender on tall ships in the Toronto harbour - good money and great views!
5. Also working insane 10 hour shifts waitressing....yars, those uni loans are getting paid off!
6. On rare days of good weather, have been rollerblading by the lake, and also have started yoga which I mucho love.
7.EGADS!! Need to go out dancing and have some fun, sheesh!
