I know that many people wouldn’t consider Canada as being very different from America, but trust me it is! The fashion, language, food and history are a few of the things that set apart Canada from America. Every day I find myself facing new obstacles that I wouldn’t have expected and I am learning more and more about myself and how I react to new situations and my ability to cope. Apart from the language barrier, (which is becoming less of a problem thanks to my French classes), functioning in a city is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do.
In Vermont, I am use to the slow paced lifestyle. For example, when selecting something to eat at a sandwich shop I am use to taking my time, reviewing the menu completely and then carefully making a decision. Here I have noticed that many of my choices are made on impulsion because I feel like I am constantly being rushed. This new change of pace, while at first was difficult to get use to is now becoming a way of life.
Next weekend is our spring break and I will be returning to Vermont. Though I am excited to go home and see my family, I am a little worried that I’m going to find myself bored. I’ll be spending time with my mom who lives outside of the city, and I’ll be stranded without a car. While I don’t have a car here, it is very easy to walk out my door any time of day and find somewhere to go and something to do. When I get back to Vermont, I will walk out my door and… yes I can’t finish that sentence either. Don’t get me wrong, I love Vermont, but I am quickly adapting to the city life and I love it!
