It is a minute to midnight and I'm running on the last juices of my battery. My dog Foxy is asleep at my feet. I'm the only one awake. My siblings went to sleep early, excited for the early Christmas we'll be having tomorrow while here at my dad's house. Our actual Christmas will be … Continue reading Impermanence
Home(s)
I should be used to this by now. In a way, I suppose I am. I know what and how much to pack. I know what tickets I need, the times to book for. I know where to go and who to talk to. I know how to do everything in such a way that … Continue reading Home(s)
The Oxford Day
I was supposed to write this and post it on Sunday. I tried writing it again yesterday. Both times I got sidetracked by an assignment which has now been handed in, so I have nothing left to distract me. On Saturday, Pat took me to Oxford as a Christmas present. Yeah. I know. I'll never be … Continue reading The Oxford Day

Final Year Goals
Sometimes I stop and think, do I have too much on my plate? Am I too busy? And then I add something big to my To-Do list. I've had a lot of goals for my third and final year of university, and my last year in England: Do more travelling before I leave; I haven't … Continue reading Final Year Goals
Thoughts on Thoughts
I am way too early for work. Like, an hour and a half early. But class ended early and I already ate and work has wifi and it's better to be an hour and a half early than five minutes late. The day is wet and gloomy. I can see the peak of what looks … Continue reading Thoughts on Thoughts
Coming Up For Air
For once, everything's quiet. That's rare at a university. The wifi only half-works and it's horrible. Like right now, I'm getting messages saying I'm no longer connected to the internet, but it still shows four bars and green lights. Let me give you a rough update on my life. I haven't had many personal posts lately, which is … Continue reading Coming Up For Air
Dear Paris
Wow. I can't believe I was in Paris this time last week, and now this has happened. My thoughts are with those affected. It's at times like these when I get homesick. But it's not the usual homesick. I don't long for my mountains or the poutine or the Ehs, I just want to hug … Continue reading Dear Paris
Twenty-One
I wasn't going to say anything at all today or ever again, but the secret's out now, I guess. Hold on, I'm getting ahead of myself. I woke up in Paris this morning, half an hour before the alarm. 4am UK time, 5am Paris time. Got ready, packed my bags, and left. I took the … Continue reading Twenty-One
Friendships Abroad
I met up with a friend for lunch today. We haven't seen each other since before school ended back in April. It was really good to catch up, and it only took a minute for us to fall back into our old conversation habits. It was like we had last seen each other only last … Continue reading Friendships Abroad
