I moved back downtown today. It is nice to be back.
Today was such a beautiful day. It was a real pleasure to go for a short walk around downtown. It is amazing the speed at which this area, especially Robson st east of Granville is changing and growing up. Whole blocks that used to be parking lots have been transformed into neighbourhoods. There are people walking around areas that used to be pretty much deserted. It is nice to see.
Last night I had a date with Rae. At first, the plan was for us to take our learner's permit tests, but because ICBC convieniently stops letting people take the test at 3:30, we were unable. Dissapointed, we went back to my apartment where, after a quick little embarassment, we had a rather serious talk about our relationship. After clearing things up a bit, we went for dinner at a Greek place on Davie st (not Stephos... the other one). The food was good and plentiful and the whole thing felt like a date, in a good way.
This morning, we went to check out what we thought was a new Korean food court on Robson st. It turned out that it was actually a Korean which looked quite high class. I don't think I will go there regularly. Dissapointed, we went to the ramen place near the library. After walking Rae to the bus stop, I went to the sky train and went back to Commercial drive to walk the drive one last time as a resident. Even though it was a pleasant experience, for me, it did not compare to walking around downtown. I was definately ready to leave.
I packed up my stuff and Rachel came over in her new truck to help me move. Unfortunately my roommate was not home and I was not able to ask her about getting my deposit back. I will have to do that soon or else risk never seeing it again. She was a good roommate. Even though I don't think I would have hung out with her under other circumstances, she is a good person and I wish her well. On the other hand, she is not very organized and I am scared that she will not find a new roommate for the beginning of April. She also lets her boyfriend use her. He is not malicious, but she is just begging him to trample all over her. Seeing their relationship dynamic was a little bit unsettling. I am sure she will figure out what she wants to do eventually, but in the interum, she is causing herself a lot of unnecisary grief.
