On Amy's birthday this year, I started vlogging my life in the middle of a pandemic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnYl-K534c

A Saturday
Yesterday morning I went to an orientation at the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers and saw what they had to offer. I think I might join, but I'll have to wait until I have more money. I have other things higher on my list anyway, like SAIT classes, or some lessons or a gym membership … Continue reading A Saturday
Stories and Stuff
The Calgary Stampede kicked off this morning with the annual parade, and while I didn't officially go, I did have to cross the crowds, and closed-off, horse-poop-laden streets to get to work this morning. If you follow me on Snapchat you probably got to see it. I worked all day and forgot to pack a … Continue reading Stories and Stuff
Uber-Long Post
Wow. I did not expect to be busy once back. The complete opposite, actually. The majority of my friends reside in other countries and I thought my social life would sag, at least at first. You always hear about people having trouble meeting up with existing friends and making new friends after university. Thankfully, I … Continue reading Uber-Long Post
My Brother’s Birthday
When I first left for England, my little brother was nine years old. Today, he's twelve. Time flies, doesn't it? I was 18 and had never left the country alone before, had never been to Europe before, and had never lived on my own before. Here I am on the other side having travelled to Paris … Continue reading My Brother’s Birthday
Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
Okay, so that last post was a bit sparse. From Tuesday to Friday, I stayed with my friend Siân in beautiful Bournemouth. As soon as I arrived, we went straight to the beach because it was sunny and the forecast for the rest of the week was pessimistic at best. We got there and I … Continue reading Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
Advice For A 17-Year-Old
Somewhere on the other side of the ocean, my sister turns 17 today. This is to her. From what I hear, you're a lot like I was at your age. Chasing dreams, refusing to leave the clouds when the ground called. But the ground's going to get louder now. September will bring your last year of high school. Adults will be asking … Continue reading Advice For A 17-Year-Old
April Fools
I had my last university class today. I'm really going to miss this. But I miss home, too, just a little. It's April Fools Day today so I can't help but think of my little brother who absolutely loves this holiday. He was nine years old when I first left, and he'll be twelve when … Continue reading April Fools
Outstanding Day
What an incredible day. So today I had my second-last class. It was a celebration with food and stuff and people would go up and read poems or bits of their stories or sing songs they wrote, and we all talked and said goodbye and everything. It was great. I loved it, even though I … Continue reading Outstanding Day
