I wiled away my entire weekend (i.e. did not do a SINGLE piece of work over 3 days, which is amazing considering I'm a paranoid worrywart and workaholic) and it felt really good, especially after how Friday turned out. I think my mind and heart are still stuck in the framework of having a holiday - not having work and stress breathing down my ( Read more... )

I walked down streets of the city I had never been to before today and fell more in love with it. It's funny, I was telling my friend, how much I love the city more than I love university (everything about it), though it is university that my life pretty much revolves around, be it classes, friends, buildings, things to be happy and sad about ( Read more... )

- it is officially freezing-ass-cold in Toronto. -20s average for January. i think i'm just about ready to punch anyone saying that they love winter. THOSE WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF WINTER YOU KNOW OF?

TSD (theatre studies and drama) was the probably the one course in all my life that I experienced the greatest uncertainty and fear in deciding to take it, or even continue with it. Yet it was probably the course that changed my life the most - it redefined what education should be: about loving, falling in and out of love, friendship, giving it my ( Read more... )

One of the most beautiful things about humankind is the capacity to pick yourself up from wherever you've fallen/left on, and move on with courage or faith.
Yet at the same time it's one of the most painful things in life knowing that you're the one who's been left behind.

it's funny just how one small thing changes everything else.

Everytime I watch Criminal Minds I'm reminded of how much capacity for evil there is in the human race. I know it's just a show, but it scares the shit out of me that some of these cases probably are true. And others out there are probably as or more ( Read more... )
