On Twenty Twelve.
A happy (belated) New Year to everyone! I hope you’re all as excited as I am about the new year! It’s definitely going to be a good one and an exciting one for me, mostly because I’ve decided to make it so.
On half-court.
I am currently at the halfway point of my classes this semester and I am currently writing this from beyond the grave. Okay, hyperbole, but only barely. I’m currently in my second (or maybe third) whirlwind week of non-stop things to do, which barely scrape the cells off deadlines galore, and for the first time in my life, I’m not entirely sure I can pull it off. That said, if you see me wandering around, looking a hot mess express, you know what’s up.
On approval and to-do lists.
So, just to begin, I finally got my thesis approved last weekend! I was pretty thrilled about it considering how much I’d been stressing about it. I have made it a point in life to not stress about things. Anything at all. I just REFUSE to do it and, I’ve gotten exceptionally amazing at it, so you can very well imagine the level of buffoonery that must have been going on for me to get so worked up over things. And now that’s finally over (more or less), so celebrate!
On Fourth Quarters.
Now I know how Lebron James must have felt during the Finals. I’m currently in my thesis year and I’ll be sure to tell you what it is, as soon as I know for myself. I’ve spent the last three weeks getting the crap kicked out of my thought processes and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight. What frustrates me the most is how starkly unprepared for this my university “education” has made me.
On The Wolf Pack.
My roommates are finally moved into the house. We are affectionately known as ‘The Wolf Pack’ to our friends, with our humble house christened ‘The Wolf Den’. So far, many-a-shenanigan has ensued and there shall hopefully be many more. Stories, bicycle photos, artisanry and design projects to come.
On graciousness and beats.
It’s been a hot minute since I was last able to a) work on musical things and b) have a chance to share those endeavours here on the ol’ Tumblr! However, I’ve got good news to share and time to do it finally!
And boy oh boy, is it ever good!
On Craigslist purveyors.
You know those goons who decide ENTIRELY based on the emails and text messages you’ve exchanged (read: without EVER coming to see it in person) that your jawn is not of reputable quality and thus overpriced? I hate those jackasses.
I haven’t drawn anything of consequence for a LONG time…
… and for that I truly apologise. But trust me, after next week Thursday, I doubt I’ll be doing much else BUT.
Summer school sucks.
On riding through Rosedale.
Today, I took a bike ride through Rosedale, while waiting for my friend (who lives on the very outskirts) to get home. ”Obscene wealth and affluence”; that’s all I can say. Granted, I understand that that’s where all the “old money” in Toronto lives, so their money has been earned, bequeathed and inherited for generations. Still, it kinda bugs me out to even see that degree of baller in such dense concentration. Not that wealth and affluence are a necessarily bad thing; just an absolute mind-boggle when there’s so much of the complete opposite, literally right down the road. I’m especially wary to decide on my feelings about the place and its inhabitants because I don’t know these people nor do I know whether or not they contribute to the community at large, but I DO know they’ve put a song in my heart.
On Twenty Two and the Included Blessings.
My birthday was on Saturday. It was a pretty great birthday, as far as birthdays go. I had a fantastic time with a number of my most incredible friends, but more than just the day itself, twenty two is gearing up to be a most powerful year!
