Over the holidays I moved yet again, this time to Toronto. The move came as a bit of a surprise even to myself. I had intended to stay in my apartment in Cambridge until I finished my masters; I have never had such a comfortable apartment or made a place so much my own. But when I was in Uganda thinking ahead to my return, I realized that I didn’t want to go back to Cambridge. The main reason was the desire to to be in a better “headspace”. I’ve been in Toronto for two weeks now and don’t regret my decision. I’ve already been able to go to social activities at my church and joined a recreational soccer team. I am situated on the East end of the city (shocking I know!) in Little India at Gerrard and Coxwell. During the day I either work at home or go to a cafe. I’ve already found my favourite little spot called the Flying Pony. I am delightfully close to a skating rink and pool and to the Toronto Beaches/Tommy Thompson Park for the best of winter and summer activities! I already went on an early morning run and saw the sun rise over the lake; beautiful!
