That Went Fast...

I know I have been lacking on blog posts, but I literally have spent every second of my time home seeing all the friends and family I won't see again until the summer.  I couldn't believe how many people that included.

But sadly, my time in Canada has come to an end.  I'm currently sitting at Pearson International waiting for my flight.  I won't be back in Geneva for another 12 hours or so, but the anticipation is killing me.  I love Canada and it will always be my home, my motherland; but Geneva has quickly become referred to as "home" in conversation.  The look on my parents' faces when I accidentally let that slip was priceless.  I don't think they've quite gotten used to the fact that I'm not living in Toronto.  I think we're all in a dream world.  And to be honest, I'm quite alright with that.  I think if I really sat down and thought about it, I wouldn't be as comfortable with it as I am.  So I'm gonna play the ignorant card for a bit longer.

But back to my time home in Toronto.  I arrived early afternoon on the 24th and was greeted by my two best friends dressed as Santa and Mrs Claus, and my mum.  The waterworks obviously started.  I honestly have the best friends ever!

After my pickup, I attempted to go to a Canadian landmark, Tim Hortons, for a catch-up with my friends. Unfortunately, it was closed, since it was Christmas Eve and all.  How Swiss of them...

I ended up spending a few hours chilling out and catching up and it felt like I had never left (thus fuelling my dream hypothesis).  Frankly, most of the time I was home felt like I had never left.  Apparently, Toronto doesn't change in four months.  Good to know.

What did change was how I felt being back in my house.  Despite it looking like home, I felt like I was a guest.  I didn't even know where to find a towel when I wanted to have a shower!  All this after only four months?

But now it's time to head back to Europe and relish in another seven months living the life.  I can thankfully say that life has been mostly ups, with only a few downs.  Can it get any better?

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday and are ready to stick to their new year's resolutions.  What are mine?  Continue to make some "ticks" on my bucket list.  I can't wait!
