All I have to say is wow. Wow. It is smoking hot outside, and therefore also in my apartment. My thermostat is reading 31 degrees inside, and the weather network is saying outside feels like 37. I have not been in heat like this probably since New York City two summers ago. I'm trying to keep cool by blasting my fan, drinking lots of ice cold water, and opening up all my doors and windows (although I don't know if that's actually counter-productive).

It's been a while! Lots has been going on, which is why I haven't had time to update. Most notably was that my cousin was here to visit for the past week-ish and we spent every day out and about, seeing the sights and being tourists! I felt like I hadn't actually done a lot of the tourist things in this city; it's weird how when you actually live somewhere, you just don't do those things because you're too busy with the daily grind!!

There is no daily grind for me though, living in Montreal. I'm setting my own hours that I work and enjoying every single minute of every day! Yesterday was a holiday - St Jean-Baptiste - and I spent it lounging by a pool. Life doesn't get much better than that!

I have almost been living here for 2 months, and all I have to say is the time is flying! Soon it will be July, and I'll have Laurel and my mom as visitors. My photography classes are starting next week, and that will soon occupy me for Monday and Wednesday nights.

To finish with a photo. This is my cousin and I in the Jardin Botanique.
