an update

tuesday i was asked very last minute to sub in for Owen Sound (Georgian Bay Symphony) to lead a wednesday rehearsal.
i'm glad i did!
managed to sneak in 1 hour before dinner/rehearsal to visit Inglis Falls.
it's such a beautiful place!
kind of scary though, 'cause i'm all by myself and couldn't see a damn thing in the dark.
kept thinking i'd drop my phone while taking pictures of the running waters at the top of the falls, on a wobbly laced bridge...
starting to talk about planning a winter day trip there to hike.
that'll be my first time winter hiking! so excited!
hope it'll happen between feb 12 and march 8.
after i come back from Japan, it'll be april already and earth might start to defrost.

exchanged some yen for Japan last week.
can't believe the bank (Scotia) was able to give me the money overnight, that was pretty impressive.
compared to my mum's bank (CIBC), they didn't even notifying her when the money was in the bank, and went ahead to cancel the order without her consent.
don't ever bank with CIBC. such horrible services.
i had an account there when i was in Montreal, just because it was close by - which didn't help, 'cause it turned into a BMO after a year. i had such a hardship closing the account in Ontario 'cause they said i need to do it at the original branch... which died.
very smart logistics, CIBC, very smart...

i'm so ready for the auditions!
bring it on!!!!!

ok, not really... i need a few more days to practise still...
