| first night since ive moved that i have had a really good time in a really good setting with some really good people. tonite reminded me of some of the best times ive had in toronto - home cooking at someones apartment with some good tunes, good wine and good conversation. it was bizarre because every social event since school started has felt quite 'set up' and contrived. these times have been good, and ive been thankful all week for the opportunity to meet some new students and talk about history with people from different fields over beer. but tonite was so much more informal and felt infinitely more comfortable. i was sitting around a new friend's coffee table with several new friends talking about things other than school... ideas, music, travel, apartments, relationships, languages, and history ---- but history for the love of it, not history for the 'job' or 'career' of it. in a dimly lit and spacious apartment only several blocks away from my own, i felt closer to toronto than ive felt in weeks... but surrounded by new people, it certainly feels totally different. |
