cottage!
tomorrow i leave for what will be the first of hopefully at least 2 cottage trips this summer. i literally cannot wait. for awhile i was pretty worried that this was going to be one of the few years when i wouldn't be able to join the family up north - but it isn't, and i am going! and this year actually everyone who was supposed to come, is coming. all cousins will be present!
i am going to read like 5 books, lay in the sun, canoe, and hopefully kick some ass at crokinole and euchre. i will also sleep and eat a lot.
i will also probably be breaking this upcoming vegetarian thing of mine to the family, which i think will be interesting...i haven't totally decided yet whether i am going to just eat meat with them this week, or take this opportunity to do the veg thing with the family and see how i do. i think it could be an excellent experiment of liz the vegetarian vs. the meat-eating family before my august 8th deadline, so maybe i'll try that out.
oh! my dog! sometimes i forget that she's going to be there, but honestly, that's probably the best part. sophie is pretty much the greatest dog that has ever lived, and that is a fact.
and then i'm going to get back and it will be almost hillside and then almost trenton to see my dad's family (which will be even harder to do vegetarian stylez) and then more and more of my old montreal friends will be moving this way! although some of them may be liars i suspect, and one of them probably definitely is a liar, even though i understand (and i mean YOU emily)
what i'm getting at is that this summer is so far pretty awesome (although i have been totally and completely neglecting that one research methods assignment due in august, nevermind figuring out my own research and selecting a supervisor etc.). vacation!
so for the next 8 days, i bid civilization goodbye (and bid mosquitoes hello).
