It's one thing to be invited to the Canadian Film Centre (CFC), it's another thing to actually go. This is Part 2! Read the first post here: I Got Into An Acting Conservatory. When I was accepted into CFC, I had an apartment, a full-time job, and a chronically anxious chihuahua. Going to Toronto meant … Continue reading I Moved To Toronto
An April Snowstorm
9am. No snow. Skipper goes out for her first pee of the day with no jacket. Success. I'm proud of us both. Noon. Maybe an inch wherever it isn't just melting. Skipper asks me to go out (a win), I notice (another win), and she pees outside while wearing a thin coat. There's enough snow … Continue reading An April Snowstorm
Oh, Canada
For those of you who are unaware, today is Canada Day. Some of my best memories have been on this date, including camping with family, my first time going up the Calgary Tower as a kid, getting to choose a new book at the bookstore, seeing fireworks with my first boyfriend, exploring celebrations downtown with … Continue reading Oh, Canada
Lake Minnewanka
As I worked on the pitch for my web series, I realized that even though I'd put my novel writing on hold, I didn't want to give up the story entirely. It wasn't going to be as easy to pick my novel back up as it was to put down. A story has peaks and … Continue reading Lake Minnewanka
A Day in Kananaskis
I've gotta say, filming vlogs every day for my month in Vietnam last summer was one of the best things I could have done in order to learn vlogging and figure out my new camera. On Saturday my dad and I went to Kananaskis for a little day trip. My camera skills have improved greatly … Continue reading A Day in Kananaskis

I had a bad day last week. The worst in a while, with a bunch of different not-fun things coming together all in that one day. And I discovered something amazing. Despite my best efforts and my repeated mentions of not wanting to get tied down to Calgary, in my so-called "darkest hour", I found … Continue reading Living
Montreal Day 1: Bagels and Murals
OK so I've got pictures on my camera of my recent adventures BUT I forgot the little cord that gets pictures from my camera to my laptop. So here are the pictures I took on my phone instead. MONTREAL, I AM IN YOU! This wasn't today and I'm not posting the days in order because … Continue reading Montreal Day 1: Bagels and Murals
A Day in Banff
After sitting around doing nothing but work or school all summer, today my dad, brother, dog, and I finally decided to get out of here, just for the day. And if you live in Calgary, there are only a few places that fall under "just for the day". 70% of the time we end up … Continue reading A Day in Banff
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
Calgary Stampede!
So this is long overdue, but my dad took my siblings and me to the annual rodeo in town which you probably guessed from the title, is called the Calgary Stampede. If you've never heard of it, it happens in my hometown and goes for ten days every July. There are rides, games, and food … Continue reading Calgary Stampede!
