So this is Christmas…2013
This year has been a mixed one as far as writing is concerned. It feels as though I haven’t had the same time, though in reality, I haven’t made the time that I would have before. There has been lots of other fun stuff going on, but the blog has fallen behind somewhat. Add to…

Papers, Please…just no essays
Writing, for me, has become exactly what I was trying to avoid. A chore. This semester has been a lot busier than I expected. Who ever said a Masters was supposed to be hard work? Three 3,000 word essays, two presentations, and long lab days in between, and my project is yet to yield any…

Sad Times and Halloween
Last week was completely hectic. I’ve spent most of this week winding down after it, and sorting out things I didn’t manage to get done. My grandmother passed away on the 27th of October, and it just so happened that some of my relatives were coming over to visit for Halloween on the Wednesday of…

Busy Times, and the end of the Trip
I can’t believe it has been over a month since my last post. Much has happened since then, and I have been largely non-stop since my return from America. September was a busy month, with a lot going on. I should probably recap the end of my holiday first, before I forget everything. America, continued Originally, we…

American Dream Things have been pretty busy, and the time is flying by. I had meant to write a lot more, but by the time I got back to the house and ate, I was too tired to think about anything else. I’m remembering something…something awesome. Sitting in the back of a pickup truck, wearing…

Canoeing and Adjusting
I’m pretty good with jet lag. Being young helps a lot, and slipping into a normal routine as soon as possible. This time it was easy, as we arrived in the evening, but last year our flight came in before lunchtime, and we had a full day ahead of us. The first full day has…

On the Road (In the Sky)
It has been a somewhat stressful few hours, packed with psuedo-deadlines and other drama, but we’re just about to board our flight to Chicago. I am now officially excited! The first flight is 8-ish hours, then a stopover in Chicago before heading on to Portland. I’ve been rediscovering the joys of airport pricing, where it…

Empire Business
Empire Business “I’m not in the website business, I’m in the empire building business” – Not a quote by Walter White, from Breaking Bad. My mum launched her new website last week, with a little help from your ordinarydecentgamer, over at newforgetherapies.com. This is not a shameless plug, by the way, but I found it…

Fun with Old Cameras
Well, old is perhaps a bit much. I should say, old for the digital era. It’s the Nikon D70 I’m speaking of, which was our first, and last, Nikon digital SLR before dad jumped ship to Canon. It is a tank of a camera, with a strong polycarbonate body which is very well proportioned, and…
