So I spent my first "Canada Day in Ottawa" seeing the GG (too pale and too thin) closed-up twice, doing my first journalistic interview shivering in the freezing wind on the lawn of Rideau Hall with my guest sniffing her nose due to the cold, hanging out with new OMG-Where-Have-You-Been-All-My-Life friend Rachel (who sadly has relocated to the capital) all afternoon and trudging around town trying to find a decent place to eat with an exhausted boyfriend who just performed the change of guard ceremony on TV earlier in the day.

I barely left the house today, and it was great. Now tomorrow I actually need to put my first "real" radio report/story together. Bah.
