Greetings my 3 readers! So, as I mentioned in my last post, I'm getting ready to graduate in a bit. I've been running around trying to complete everything and tie up all these loose ends and once this is all done it'll be "no more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks." Hurray! I'm being pressured by my parents to pursue a Master's degree after this and frankly, the thought makes me want to vomit. I could not possibly do a Master's right now, maybe in a few years, but for now, I NEED A BREAK!

I will be returning home to Namibia and will begin looking for a teaching job in Windhoek. I have to say that I will miss the great friends that I've made in my time in Toronto, but I will definitely NOT miss the city. I am not a fan and I'm not cut out for this winter shit. I am AFRICAN to my very core, and winter is not for me. People who go skiing and enjoy winter sports are insane to me, I would much rather be surfing at the beach back home anyday!!

My time in this city was not all bad though. For the first time in my life, I was exposed to my fellow Somalis and actually have some Somali friends now. This is a first for me, as I have had friends from pretty much everywhere but my own country. It hasn't been due to a lack of desire though. I simly haven't lived anywhere where Somalis have lived! I will miss my roomates, who are also international students from Africa and with whom I navigated my way through this city. I have traveled extensively in my life and thankfully, this has helped me to adjust to life in Toronto! Before I leave though, I would like to visit Montreal for a bit, I always hear wonderful things about it and have some dear friends who live there. If anybody reading this knows of interesting places to visit in Montreal, please leave a comment and let me know! Also, if there are any of you who have had a similar experience as me (no exposure to fellow Somalis), I would love to hear from you, it's hard to feel like a lone alien all the time! This has been my longest post to date, which means it's time to wrap it up, so until next time, Mac'salaama!
