I'm at the University of Quebec right now, hogging a computer someone told me I could use without any problem. What am I doing here? I had a meeting with the director of the Biology programme who checked my credits and told me I can start to study in January if I want to. WTF? This is great! I'm going to fill in my application tonight and bring the papers tomorrow. He said they will give me credits for the courses I took in Colombia and at the University of Montreal and that I could start with 1 or 2 ...
Beautiful day today. The sun actually shines in Saguenay... Who would've thought? LMAO. No, it's really nice today and I'm going to take a few photos, take a walk, enjoy this absolutely beautiful place. My PC's not here yet, but my internet connection is ready, so I'll be on line at home in no time... finally!

I'm waiting for 7 p.m. so I can go to my first Divorce Support meeting, a group mostly for women, but I'm happy to be able to meet new people. There's a conference about STD's tonight, oh well...

I feel lonely today, like very lonely and scared, but then I tell myself this is what I wanted to do and I'm here now, might as well face it. I don't know where to start, really. I just found a bunch of e-mails from people all over and they keep telling me how strong I am and how proud they are of me, but then fear starts crawling all over... What am I going to do? This starting all over again ...
