after having a friend go through my ipod and conclude that i listen to depressing music, i realized that actually is all i listen to lately. it might have to do with walking in the cold, and being on metros, and having too much time to think and too many things to think of.

but sad songs give me a lot to relate to.
i dont think i could survive downtown without my ipod. i dont know how anyone does. and im new to this whole thing; im used to the comfort of my car and stereo. but i dont dread it. its actually comforting knowing i have a metro ride to look forward to in which i can just sit with my music and think (and all the walking will hopefully benefit me in the long run).

on that note, being downtown for school made me appreciate how wonderful Montreal really is. its full of action, and at the same time is very serene and peaceful. the cold is sometimes painful and dreadful but at other times its refreshing. im beginning to enjoy my university experience; i finally feel a part of something important and productive. and university has given me reason to explore a city i realized i know very little about.
