Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around recently for updates. It's been quite a busy few days. I never knew it would be so hard to avoid the Olympics. They're everywhere. People are always telling me results. For the past two days, I've been in and out of the hospital visiting my significant others mother. The common rooms either had hospital information on the tvs, or the Olympics. My friends and I are heading to Cuba for a week and I will be unable to watch any of the events with them. I obviously am extremely proud of Canada for such a high medal count that at times I do want to cave in and watch. I later remind myself of the unjustifiable conditions and the urge fades. When I started these social media outlets, I never knew it would be so controversial. Though the Tumblr has reached high levels of success, there have been no debates. I have received many private messages thanking me for my work The Instagram page is a completely different story. While there are many who have given me a shoutout, liked my photos, mentioned me on others photos, etc. there are also ones who have been extremely hateful. One girl commented on all my pictures claiming I'm receiving the wrong news stories because they are all "Westernized". Others believed the USA was far more corrupt than Russia. Which brings me to my new point that I found a bit odd. Everyone thought I was American. Don't get me wrong, I love USA. But Canada is my home. There are certain policies in the states that need to be fixed (stances towards gays especially), but I believe it to be an overall wonderful place to live. It was surprising that everyone jumped to this conclusion though - why America? Because it's such a huge, populated country? Overall, I'm loving the feedback. It's been wonderful hearing what everyone thinks so far. Keep supporting :)
