A few months ago somebody asked me if I thought I was capable of doing this. A few months ago I asked myself the same question. End of session today, really good grades, new cool friends and this is just the beginning. I couldn’t be happier. Things do happen for a reason, I’m 100% convinced of it now. Party, anyone?

Nice to see my name (the French version, anyway) on a comic strip by Phlppgrrd, published daily on La Presse. One more reason for my self-center-ness, hah!

I don’t know how old she is exactly, but she has a love-hate relationship with Barbie (as in wanting a new one, but cutting her current one’s leg and head), she hates broccoli, loves mac & cheese. She makes fun of her daddy, is good friends with her mommy, draws either on the walls of her house or her daddy’s car; she has a best friend called Léa, a boyfriend called Guillaume, rejects poor Samuel’s advances and thinks going to Disneyland is better than going to school. Yes, I’ve been reading… She’s cool!

And there’s a book! Me wants, me wants!

“The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has produced webcasts to help students and teachers better understand genetics, genomics and the impact of the Human Genome Project.”

I suppose it isn’t a coincidence that I’m working on my last paper for school, on Medical Genetics and the Human Genome project. Almost done, I just have to finish my gene structure graphic on PhotoShop… Nerdy, heh!

With school session almost over (2 days left), two A+ today and a great summer ahead of me, I shouldn’t be feeling sad. But I just realized how much I miss my life in Montreal sometimes. I got in touch with some people from my past who are either newly married or have had babies and are living the kind of life I lost. I still feel robbed of all that, but I’m working on acceptance. Whatever the future brings, I’m sure it will be better. I have faith.

Let’s do this Johari Window thingy again.
I want to know how you’d describe me.

Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin’ round your way ya
Ya ya

On a day like today
The whole world could change
The sun’s gonna shine
Shine thru the rain
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere - there’s a place for you
I know that you believe it too
Sometimes if you wanna get away
All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay
All the way

On a day like today - the whole world could change
The sun’s gonna shine - shine thru the rain
On a day like today - no one complains
Free to be pure - free to be sane
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Free is all we gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
But ya never know what might be comin’ for you and me ya
It’s gonna be

On a day like today…

Without entering into many details, this has been one of the best days I’ve had since I came back to Canada. It wasn’t just a beautiful, sunny and warm day, but one that brought wonderful things for my future. I never lost my faith in God, even when things seemed to be really bad, and He keeps on showing me that he’s carrying me on his arms because He knows I need it. I’m glad I have God in my life… So glad!
