Keeping Track of Things

While I was at work during the summer, I had a bit of a brainwave. You see, the dilemma facing me was developing healthy habits when I’d be all on my lonesome in Van-city. I made a short list of habits that I wanted to try to keep up during the school year and had…

Un-becoming and Becoming a Room

Dad and Aaron left this morning for Calgary. Visited the FLOW page and my number was gone because Kt and Tc are the new counselors. The only thing that’s really obviously Calgarian is my phone number and I’m keeping that… but I’m starting to feel homesick. Anyway, this is what happened during the room-cleaning hurricane…

Cleaning: The Prequel

Before we get into any specifics about containing the materialism of a body’s year within fabricated structures (I mean packing luggage, not academia) let’s take a look at how utterly messy my room became and un-became over the summer.

The Move II

This is the first thing I noticed about Vancouver when we woke up the next day to pick up a few things from Superstore: Electronic price tags! They change to reflect promotional prices and I thought they were really neat. Yeah, that’s what post #1 from Vancouver is going to be only about (if you…

Most blog posts usually take a good hour to compose, but this post is particularly difficult to write. I don’t know where to begin. Maybe I should start with the confession (over Montreal smoked meat sliders) that I felt left out of my church group. Or maybe I should start with the second confession that…

To: FLOW

As if I haven’t said this enough in real life, I think I’ll say it again online: working with you all for the past few years has been more of a blessing than I could ever have imagined. If you’ve ever taught in any capacity then I’m sure you know this already, but I’ve come…

Cleaning Silver

Fun fact – dross describes the impurities that are doing in silver, but not the blackness that collects on unworn silver jewelry. Fun fact #2 – the black stuff results from oxidation and a lot of it can take forever to clean Fun fact #3 – these facts aren’t really that fun. Anyway, my posts…
