weekly musings #1: back to school jitters and cliff jaunts

Bringing back weekly musings with fervor and gusto; it's basically a less snappy version of miss Gala Darling's Things I Love Thursday (TiLT). I somehow prefer Fridays as the day to sum up the little tidbits that have been going in my life as well as some enjoyable links to fantastic things around the interwebs.
I would say I care about using the word 'interwebs' like a 12 year old, but I don't.
So without further ado.

back to school jitters: I have less than a week before classes start and though throughout most of the summer I was primed and ready to head back to campus, my apprehension at heading back to city life is rising. I have so many things left to do, new furniture to pick up, forms to hand in, house-cleaning to do, pick up a new bus pass, my head is spinning. Plus just general apprehension at finding my way around the buildings again, worrying if I'm going to have any crap professors this term. But mostly I'm happy to plan and organize and enthusiastically stock up school supplies. (Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves this.)

cliff jaunts: If I haven't mentioned it already I'm from a very small town on the island of Newfoundland and if you've never heard/seen of such a place before.. to put it mildly, we have a lot of space to explore. Most towns & cities here are right on the waters edge so J (the boyfriend) and I took a little walk around his hometown (which is about 15 minutes away from mine) and spent the day exploring the woods, beaches, brooks and cliffs. I got some lovely shots which I'll definitely share with you in the next couple days!
