Moving.

Moving to the Exchange District from River Heights was not the easiest feat. In my eyes, RH is probably one of the best areas of Winnipeg to live; Corydon, Polo Park, and the Osborne Village are all about a five minute drive from my house.

Since I've moved, everything has become A LOT further away. The traffic on Portage Avenue is always slow and shitty, which means I have to leave for work a half-hour before my shift (compared to 10 minutes); and all my (conveniently car-less) friends are now a 15 minute drive away.

Between driving to work, my mom's house, and various friends' apartments. I feel like more of my time is spent away from my apartment; leaving me little time to get adjusted and enjoy the area. I'm definitely starting to feel quite isolated from everyone and everything.

Adjustment takes time, and I hope that soon enough, I'll get a job in the Exchange, and my friends will smarten up and visit me more often. I love my car, but with living downtown, I hate using it. A good parking spot is hard to find, and when I get one, I just want to keep it to myself.

I can get used to walking everywhere, but I'm off taking the bus for the rest of my life - I'd rather drive.
