I’d be lying if I said I didn’t go to this website multiple times daily.
So many good laughs about the idiosyncrasies of life.

aujourd'hui.
Today was quite the day. Ups and downs. Frustrations and celebrations.
Today, I was told that I was moving classrooms. Now, I was told this yesterday. Much to my dismay, there was nothing that could have prevented me from being moved. So, I became okay with it. Lo and behold, my 7th period class is interrupted by…having to move to a new classroom. No one told me that I would be moving...

If you're reading this...
Please pray for grace, favour, and God’s will.
Tomorrow, I go into a meeting that could determine a lot of hopes and dreams for me. God could be opening up a huge door for me starting tomorrow.
Pray pray pray!

In a series of conversations that I didn’t expect to happen, I might be that much closer to doing what I dream of doing for a living.
Fingers crossed.
Prayers being prayed.

Dracula.
“Oh, but it seemed fresh and pure in the night air after the terror of that vault. How sweet it was to see the clouds race by, and the passing gleams of the moonlight between the scudding clouds crossing and passing - like the gladness and sorrow of a man’s life; how sweet it was to breathe the fresh air, that had no taint of death or decay; how humanizing to see the red lighting of...

inspiration
Today, I feel very inspired to create.
I read a few articles on Relevant Magazine online and they uplifted me and inspired me.
See, I’m an ENFP, by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Personality Test. And I feel like I am a textbook example of an ENFP - someone who is creative, spontaneous, loves people, affectionate, and loves to help people.
But also, I have those textbook ENFP problems:...

friendship.
In less than a fortnight, one of my closest friends will be leaving. She is embarking on an awesome opportunity to travel and work. She’s also relocating to the other side of the country. It wouldn’t be so bad if we lived in England - then it would just be a matter of hours until we saw each other instead of a matter of days or expensive flights. Sigh.
I’m happy for her. I...
hopefully, one day, my address will say United...
Terribly homesick.

Dracula
I’m reading it right now. The first of at least five books that I plan on reading this year. I love reading way too much for me to not read more.
I cannot put it down, surprisingly. When I bought it, I chose it because it’s a classic and it’s written / set during one of my favourite time periods in history - the Victorian Era. And the writing - there’s something exquisite...

Now that work is back in full swing...
…I’m really going to have to carve out some time to do / learn photography.
Boo.

working out
I’ve been kicking my own butt at the gym lately. I can’t afford a trainer =( wish I could.
Anyway, I’ve been adding a lot of variety to my routine. Before, I would lift weights for 30 mins, then do 30 mins of moderate cardio. Now, I’m adding in a lot of strength training, interval training, and workout moves that don’t require any equipment (those always seem to be...
I want to...
Move permanently to England with my husband and raise our family there.
Have children who will be bilingual - French and English
Work as a teacher or photographer
Have a side photography business
Do urban exploration on the weekends
Travel around Europe every year
What’s stopping me?

Five Lessons Learned From Living in Paris →
After reading this, I’m convinced more than ever that the European life is the life that I want to live. Sounds like so much fun!
give up.
I give up way too easily.
I get defeated really easily.
I throw in the (proverbial) towel easily.
I hate that about myself. Whenever anything gets even a little bit tough, I’m ready to be done.
Truth is, though, more often than not, I stick whatever it is out and see whatever there is on the other side, which is usually worth dealing with the crap.
Life always has its ups and downs. I...
