Oh dear, has it been six days already? My break will be over before I know it! Like every university student, the first couple of days after my break were spent in bed with my laptop, just happy to be done. I allowed myself the indulgence, but I'm trying to pick myself back up now. I'm … Continue reading Spring Break
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
Forget Home
It's easier to forget that I have another life on the other side of the ocean than to admit I've been neglecting that life. I've spoken more french over the last year than I have spoken to my mom at all. It's only now, with a week of classes left to my entire university experience that … Continue reading Forget Home
Cork Board Trifecta
It's my second-last week of classes and I'm finally starting to feel that thing that happens when something is about to end. My senses are in overdrive, trying to take everything in and commit it all to memory. One of those things is the room I've been staying in this year. Of the three rooms … Continue reading Cork Board Trifecta
2016 YA Book Trends
Okay, so this is a little late as it is March already, but in my defence I wasn't planning to write a book trends report at all this year. Just be glad I changed my mind, eh? I've decided to add "YA" to the title this year, because those are the ones I follow most closely, … Continue reading 2016 YA Book Trends
I’m Back
I haven't been blogging all that much this past week, or the week before, but I have reasons! I spent the last week of February sick and feeling sorry for myself, and the first week of March getting over it and working on my ECP/dissertation/thesis. I'm done now, and I've printed it all off and had it … Continue reading I’m Back
Why You Should Avoid All Emails
Sequel to Why You Should Proofread Emails. Oh my god, will I never figure out this email thing? The first true story I ever put up on this blog was Why You Should Proofread Emails and while I haven't exactly repeated the mistakes of the past, I managed to mess up pretty big anyhow. Let's set … Continue reading Why You Should Avoid All Emails
An Extra Day
There's only so much you can do in a day, unfortunately. I've been feeling the pressure of all my assignments and the work that needs to be done in the time I have. Thankfully, February, the cruelest month, is being slightly nicer this year and giving us twenty-nine days instead of twenty-eight. And how am I … Continue reading An Extra Day
Hello Friends
I have nothing to be embarrassed about! ...right? As I've mentioned before, as part of one of our courses my classmates and I are required to make blogs. I don't know what that means for me, already having made this blog and keeping it up nicely, if I do say so myself. I'll find out next … Continue reading Hello Friends
