I joined a gym today. When it comes to working out...I don't. So I started small and hardly did anything and I still barely made it down the stairs without falling over because my legs were feeling wobbly. How embarrassing. I'll be back tomorrow. The challenge with gymming is persistence. I'm going to have to keep … Continue reading Gymming
On Top of That
Despite the fact that I've only written a single post since the beginning of this month, people have kept subscribing to my blog. I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I suppose I should start writing again to make your loyalty worthwhile. In case you haven't guessed from the prolonged and unforgivable absence (I have a … Continue reading On Top of That
An Old Diary
I recently read an old diary of mine from when I was fourteen-ish. I had tried to make it fun in the beginning in the way I'd thought diaries were supposed to be, like YA contemporary novels and 90s teen flicks. But I gave up about halfway through. I started writing the stuff I really … Continue reading An Old Diary
I Need Your Help
Sooooo I really wasn't planning to do much for Halloween this year. I thought I'd maybe watch TV while my dad handed out candy or something boring like that. But yesterday I got invited to a Halloween party and now I'm panicking a little bit because I have no costume prepared and it's less than … Continue reading I Need Your Help
Graduation Day
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
Inspiration: Book Covers
Unsatisfied with my design education (though keep in mind I've only been in school for 10 weeks out of 52), I spent my weekend watching videos, reading books, and researching graphic design, in particular, typography and book covers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKgmoXMgJrO/?taken-by=byivy In class we're working on html and we all created our own websites (yes, another) and one … Continue reading Inspiration: Book Covers
