Almost 1 a.m. and I'm still awake. Going to bed shortly because I have class tomorrow at 8. Only two days since I started school and I can see myself going bananas with the crazy schedule, overlapped classes, more lab work than I can handle and lots of information to hold inside my brain. It's exciting, but scary. The classes I'm taking this session are a little more complicated and just looking at the text books I got makes me want to scream and ask for sanctuary.
I have to play it smart here. This staying up so late isn't going ...
Just a few days before my brother died (I was 12, he was 17) my mom had a dream. My dad and her were sitting on a big tree, many meters from the floor, looking down and there were many people surrounding the tree. They both wanted to get off the tree, but couldn't and she said to my dad: "Look, all these people wanting to help us and no one can do anything." -- That's how it felt when my brother passed away; there were a lot of people with us at that moment, but no one could take ...
I just realized what my task for tomorrow is: counting growth rings from the 55 tree samples we took last week! That is one boring thing to do and I'm not looking forward to it, but somebody has to do it. HOWEVER I also realize that I'll be fully back in school after a busy summer and that's pretty exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and my teachers, I have this pre-first day of classes anxiety like a little girl, too damn funny!
I also have a freaking mess in my room because I moved to a new place ...
Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person fumbling here is me
A different way to be
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
They’ll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
Now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don’t hurt me
For what I couldn’t find
Talk to me amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me
Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my ...
I just came back from one of the most wonderful weeks I've had since I started school here in Chicout. We were working at the Simoncouche Bio Station since Monday, with my "Field Biology Studies" class. The place is breathtaking, there's a beautiful lake surrounded by a boreal forest that I got the chance to get deep into. The first two days we got on the Zodiac boats, did some lake recognizing, checked the local fish species, got a sunburn and learned about zooplancton vertical distribution. Then on Wednesday we started the plant ecology phase.
Walking in the boreal forest is ...
