I had the induction for my new job today. I think I'm even more excited to work there than before, now. I think I'm going to really like it. For my ECP (aka Extended Creative Piece aka Creative Writing version of a dissertation aka thesis) my idea just wasn't working out so I switched to … Continue reading Another Update
Busy Days
(This post was written yesterday.) I'm trying to write a post every day, but yesterday I completely forgot. *Sigh* I guess I'm starting my streak over. Yesterday I got up for a 9am meeting that I found out was actually at noon. I spent my extra hours awake to work on an essay due next … Continue reading Busy Days
Canadian Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. I haven't celebrated thanksgiving since 2012, but tomorrow some of the Canadian students are going to get together for dinner and I guess my streak of being completely unthankful for my amazingly awesome life will end. I have a lot of things to be thankful for. Ever since I … Continue reading Canadian Thanksgiving
Reader’s Block
I'm reading again. Not as much as I once did, because with everything I'm trying to do nowadays, that would be impossible. But I am getting lost in stories again, and that is an accomplishment to take note of. I don't know what happened when I first went to university two years ago. I brought … Continue reading Reader’s Block
When You’re Sick Away From Home
I felt sick yesterday. I don't know if I was sick, but I felt like I was and when there's no one around to tell you otherwise, feeling sick is enough. I'm lucky. My class yesterday ended at 11am, then I did a few errands and I studied with friends until five or so, and I … Continue reading When You’re Sick Away From Home
I Love This
Oh look! I finally figured out why my twitter feed wouldn't show up on the sidebar! Not to worry, I've fixed it now. *sigh* I love this. I love talking with teachers and classmates who write and I love being inspired by their enthusiasm. I love that someone actually showed up to Writers' Society besides … Continue reading I Love This
Fantastical Daydreams
Classes start tomorrow and my feelings about it are stuck somewhere between Spongebob Squarepants ("I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!") and me in high school ("Is it over yet?"). But I'm going to put my game face on and try to make the most of my last year. I spent the weekend catching up with … Continue reading Fantastical Daydreams
A Short Hello
I'm in England again. I've put off blogging a bit because I have so much to write before classes start and I was prioritizing. For some reason, I've been having trouble turning my ideas into words and putting them on paper. My stories have been without plot and my characters without motivation. I've been struggling, … Continue reading A Short Hello
So Late It’s Early
It is currently half past six in the morning and I can't sleep. It could be the coffee I had fifteen hours ago, or the book I was reading that I can't get out of my head, or everything else that has me up to my eyeballs in stress. But I'd rather not get into … Continue reading So Late It’s Early
My Summer So Far
You know, it's been a while since I've written a good old, let's-catch-up, blog post. I think I'll write one now. I like to say I'm busy, but most of my day is actually taken up sleeping. My body clock is set on Australia time, which is not great when I'm in Canada. I'm trying … Continue reading My Summer So Far
