Did you miss me? Did you think I was dead? (Honestly, at some points, I thought I was dead. I have never been so tired as when I got off that plane... but here I go, already getting ahead of myself...) Well, I hope you did, and I'm not.
Things I learnt from Explore
- EDWARD SNOWDEN
- French grammar yo (had to stick it in somewhere)
- Peanut butter peanut butter peanut butter (aka I am not alone in my obsession)
- There is such a thing as too many wraps
- Also too many sandwiches
- Running twice a day is advised
- It is not possible to sing a song too many times (Elle me dit, anyone?)
- I'm not as smart as I think I am
- It is possible to be entirely consumed by mosquitoes
- I am not as socially awkward as I had always suspected (whattt)
- You need sweatpants
- No matter how sad you feel, mini doughnuts will help
- Sleep is overrated
- Dancing in the rain is not
- POURQUOI?
- I own way too many clothes
- Being pushed in a shopping cart is the way to travel
- You will never regret taking photos
- How to do the carwash (...our own special dance, too special to be explained)
- Tea is the addiction of our generation
- So is flax (go figure, people just got really excited)
- LOUIS RIEL
- Bowling= bonding
- Cold showers after long runs are the best things of life
And, most importantly:
- it is totally possible to be in love after five weeks (or even much before)
I have never met a group of people I felt this strong a connection with. At the beginning, I felt so many misgivings... but it has been the best summer of my life. I haven't been blogging as much as I might have liked, but in exchange I've definitely been living!
