I am sitting on a Greyhound bus; destination: Vancouver. I have mixed feelings about leaving University for the winter break. No dout I am excited to see my family again after so long, and yet, spending such a great amount of time away from all the wonderful people I've just met makes me sad. There have been a lot of hugs this week. I will see them soon enough.
This is the first time I have ever had laptop with me on a bus. I am not used to watching movies and updating my iTunes library while travelling. It's strange, and I feel very self-concious about people watching over my shoulder, or listening to me type loud and fast. They probably think I am a tech-junkie, what with me typing on my laptop while listening to my ipod and periodically checking my phone. Also, I'm scared to keep it on the seat, for fear that I'll fall asleep and the homeless-looking fellow in the opposing aisle seat will steal it. And so I keep packing it back in my bag.
There is no internet on this bus, which is a shame, and no plugs either. My laptop will die in an hour, so I am going to update my ipod and then shut it down for a bit. Watch the scenery, perhaps.

I have arrived in Vancouver! It's a shame that I left Kamloops just as it started to snow and feel like Christmas. Vancouver seems to be stuck in a perpetual October. I like the snow. Come on, West Coast, do that thing you do every once in a while and SNOW.
Currently I am using McDonald's wifi and it is satisfyingly strong. Although, my computer might die from the use on the bus. My Aunty Lisa will pick me up in a little bit, and my sister is coming here! Stoked. Cannot wait to see them.
For now though, I will download some more music from my favourite site www.noisetrade.com, sip my orange juice and watch the cute dreadheaded guy reading in the back corner.
