Today was the day of my graduation ceremony. I missed it. One hazard of going to university in another country. Here's to the friends I made by accident or by design, in class, commons, and societies, instantly or over time. Here's to the sleepovers, and sleepless library nights. Here's to Winchester, it's Cathedral, and … Continue reading Graduation Day
What Happens When You Leave School
I've left two schools in the past six months. One was a typical, happy, graduation kind of leave. The other was a non-typical, special-circumstances kind of leave. There are some things that only happen with the first kind and some things that only happen with the second, and there are a few that happen with both. … Continue reading What Happens When You Leave School
Canadian Thanksgiving (2)
It's Canadian Thanksgiving. I haven't celebrated Thanksgiving (in Canada) since 2012, and my first one back doesn't look promising, but nonetheless, I will do what all bloggers seem to do at Thanksgiving. Besides, it's been too long since I last counted my blessings. I'm thankful for my abundance of family and their good health, friends no … Continue reading Canadian Thanksgiving (2)
I Quit School.
I quit school. If you're wondering what that last post was about, it's that. I was finding myself increasingly unhappy in school to the point where it was affecting my grades and I was late every morning because I hated coming in. I was hyper-aware that when I graduated I would be soaked and dripping in … Continue reading I Quit School.
Incomplete
I like to complete things. Whether the first draft of a book or my entire university degree, I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing something I worked hard on. I don't always complete things. In ninth grade, I handed in my provincial achievement test for science incomplete even though I had time … Continue reading Incomplete
I’m a Model
Today on the way home from work, I was reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice when I caught a glimpse of an extraordinary piece of artwork. The guy sitting across from me was drawing the guy sleeping next to me in his sketchbook with a pen and it looked amazing. I will admit I stared. … Continue reading I’m a Model
My Summer in Pictures
Okay, so I know this is a lazy post, but at least it's a post. Right? If you click on a pic you can go through a slideshow of them.
School and Sleep
Okay, okay. I've got some explaining to do. It's actually really simple. I couldn't upload my pictures for some reason or another. And how can I write a post about my new shelves without even showing you my new shelves? Anyhow, I figured I had to write something while I figured out my picture problem. So … Continue reading School and Sleep
I’m back!
Oops. Ten days since my last post. My apologies. I kept meaning to post, but I've been busy. Many things have changed. My chair has arrived and as promised, I'll show you both that and my bookshelf...tomorrow. Today, I'll only update you on what's been going on. The biggest thing to happen in the past … Continue reading I’m back!
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
