Hmmmmmmmm I don't know what to say
Going into this weekend, I had certain things I wanted to accomplish...There are things that I can't say...Try to be positive right?
What I did accomplish:
1. I went salsa dancing w/ friends from Fellowship. I've never gone salsa dancing before, let alone clubbing at Club Flamingo. Thanks Elaine. I learned that salsa dancing isn't for me, but I wouldn't have known, unless I tried. Now I can say, I've given it a try. One of the men that I danced w/ earlier during salsa lessons asked me to dance later on. So I thought, ok, whatever...Then I started to feel uncomfortable as that guy was trying to pick me up while we were dancing. Since I didn't want to be rude, as soon as the dance was over, I was like, gotta go...Thanks Marc for helping me out.
2. On Saturday, Andrew and Cliff came over to help w/ the "sandwich run" in DT. We packed approximately 20-25 sandwiches, a drink box and a few chocolate cookies in each bag. Some people received it w/ open arms and some said no thanks. Although, I wasn't as comfortable talking to them for long periods of time or get to know them...one thing I forgot to do, was ask their name. This is something that Donald a friend of mine said to do...From his experience of doing sandwich runs, you ask their name and make small chat. Our group set out at Front/Spadina and walked all over TO, to Jarvis, College, and to some other places, then back to the starting point. It was a good learning experience and to see how truly blessed we are. Thanks to Alice for the cookies and drinks and thanks to Christina for the little bookmarks.
3. Later that evening, I had Jumping Frog, so I drove back to Sauga and back to TO in the same night. Let's just say parking underground is EXTREMELY hard. 19 visitor parking spots for 1000 people. It took me 40 minutes to find a parking spot after coming back in to TO. I missed 2/3 of the "Biblical food" but I did try some delicious items. Wild rice, eggplant, couscous, yes all veagen food but so yummy.
This was the first time that I drove on my own in and out of TO and it was pretty scary. Yes, I'm a student driver, I takes me 10 tries to park underground just to find out, that someone has that spot already, then another 10 minutes to turn my car around. Thankfully, I didn't have hit anything while driving in TO; however, a taxi went into my lane w/o signalling on the Gardiner. I honked at him to get his attn, and yet he ignored me. I continuously honked and I kinda dodged his taxi but caused me to go into someone else's lane. Fortunately, there were no cars beside me.
Although today, I hit the curb while driving my friend back to TO, by dropping off at Kipling Stn. I was backing out at the Church and I didn't see the curb and hit it. Fortunately no damage to my car. I still made it back to Pho for lunch but got lost coming back. Went 427 South, then I realized there's no exit to go WEST Hamilton. So I ended up at Sherway Gardens, driving west on Queensway. I thought Queensway was like Eglinton, the speed limit being 70km/hr or approx. only to find out it was 50km/hr. Thankfully, no police were around and I slowed down when I saw the sign.
I've been troubled lately and perhaps I'll blog it later, but I need to gather my thoughts first.
