AAT

  Arrived in Montreal safely.

  First day was pretty nice. I didn't know my former classmate was also moving to Montreal to do his masters. He arrived earlier than I did, so he offered to pick me up from the airport.

  He doesn't usually have a car, but his entire family was there so he has the car, ONLY UNTIL THAT DAY (man, how lucky!). He picked me up but asked if he could stop by IKEA. I was super hungry, and my first meal in this new city was almost köttbullar but I decided against. Was super hungry tho, and some bullar sounds pretty good that time. I decided to keep my hunger till I reach my new apartment. Turns out there's this really greasy, junk-foody poutine place right around the corner, the perfect first meal.

  Currently unemployed, so I'm super stingy with my money. I spend my days either looking/applying for jobs, or just lounging around or going for walks. What makes it worst is that when I arrived, it was a long weekend, so companies weren't working, which means no one would be checking applications (unless they're forced to work on a public holiday/weekend then I don't think it's a very good company to begin with). So I just gotta suck it up and wait till today for them to start going back to work again.

  The apartment is nice. There's a cat but shes super scared of me. The owner isn't home for a week so I'm currently "feeding" her. I use quotation because she doesn't eat AT ALL when I'm awake. She'll hide in a corner (two corners actually) for the ENTIRE DAY, food bowl or drinking bowl untouched. I was super worried at first, but when I woke up the next morning the entire was emptied. When the owner was still here, the bowl was never empty empty, so I guess she was really hungry after spending the rest of the day not eating.

  The other thing is that if I stay in my room for a while, she'll think its safe and comes out. When I need to get out to make tea/food or use the washroom, she scrambles back into her corner.

 Man, this is tough.
