As I sat on the top of a bridge located in some forest situated near the centre of Niagara-on-the-lake, the amazing bond between heat and humidity entangled me in such a meditative state. The sitting soon turned into a sky gazing, nature loving, sprawled out lying position which brought forth so many questions. Questions that perhaps shouldn't or ( Read more... )

It was one of those days where I tried to force myself into doing more homework than I was assigned so that I would not have to worry about any of it this weekend. Everything was going very well until the phone calls started. A huge wave of addictively urgent conversations swallowed my focus in the span of several minutes. Ub called to discuss his ( Read more... )

Realizing how wordy my overuse of transitional words and phrases has been in the past, I will attempt to overcome that literary flaw with an imaginary punch. A punch that may be imaginary to the reader but very much real to the writer; A punch that sounds like a beverage when it is nothing of the sort; A punch that may hurt; A punch that forces ( Read more... )

My day went by quite well. Despite the fact that I collapsed in bed at 3:30am last night, I was only able to keep my eyes closed until exactly 4:57am. It was from this time that I walked around my house while breathing through spontaneous sets of push ups, sit ups, and stretches. My intention of running in the morning was totally eroded by my mind' ( Read more... )

It was a very difficult one, with so much procrastination and deep psychological barriers preventing me from doing work that I should've completed by now. The funny thing is that I was able to polish every part of my desk while not touching my homework which was always settled in the middle of the piece of furniture. Undeniably, the whole week was ( Read more... )

So I woke up bright and early to prepare for work. More specifically, exterior house renovation. Motivation for some good old construction work was brewing within me, but I could tell that my boss preferred me to stay home (my dad happens to be my boss) and clean the garage since it was quite a mess. Knowing that I had no say in the situation, I ( Read more... )

(Gone shot! Gone shot!) Yesterday's stressful and temporarily depressed mood of mine was overcome by our crazy success during today's second day of my philosophy class' mock trial. All of the witnesses did an amazing job, and the teamwork of our three lawyers (me included) formed very powerful re-examining questions. On Monday it is going to be all ( Read more... )

This week was very much like one of those ghetto, uncomfortable rollercoaster rides during which one must press down on their younger sibling’s shoulders to prevent them from falling out. Everyday was a repetition of the same lesson- don't procrastinate. The sad thing is that when it came to my education, I ALWAYS left my studies for the night ( Read more... )

Oh how complicated life is- Discovery upon discovery ( Read more... )

I returned home from school very content with most of my surroundings. Unfortunately, this blissful mood was slowly sliced apart by the dark dagger of the feelings belonging to betrayal and lack of responsibility. It was only on Tuesday that I made sure that my physics teacher had talked with my school's guidance counselor on the matter of changing ( Read more... )
