Because Eventually I Have To Die, Maybe
A Minor Change in Plans
After all this hubadoo (yes I made that word up) about Iceland, I might not be going. It turns out even in a recession Iceland is insanely expensive when compared to other countries. Who does Iceland think it is exactly? Flights might be cheap, but not really that much cheaper than most other countries. Then you get there and you basically have to give them your arm in order to pay for stuff. YOUR ARM.
Adam was, in my mind, pooing all over my dream of going to Iceland about a week ago and it made me sad. But then he said the magic words to win my heart: “Rio de Janeiro” and “cheaper”. We began to discuss other options and Adam said the third magic word to win my heart: “spreadsheets.” As of right now we are entertaining a bunch of options, including Aruba, Athens, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Mumbai, Tokyo, and Rio. All of these places are CHEAPER than Iceland. Fantastic!
It is rather nice not knowing where I will be going in August, just knowing that it will be somewhere foreign and fun.

Why is it so hard to get anything done, ever?

Yeah, I’m not going to Seattle. The infamous “Destination Unknown” trip has been cancelled, due to Adam moving back to Lethbridge and me just not having enough energy to get up to pee, let alone drive for that long. I wasn’t even excited to be going. What is wrong with me? I’m going to NYC
A Summer of Nothing

This summer feels like a complete wash. I did go to Kelowna, true, but it has mostly been spent with my nose in books and sitting in classrooms. I guess I’m putting this work in now so I can be done school earlier, but I just want to be travelling and seeing the world. One

Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia, Canada. I loved being there but it was quite cold (in February). Apparently, this is the most photographed thing in all of Canada. Odd.

So Adam and I have been slowly going over the details of our trip to Iceland, but not too much since 1. I don’t know when I can actually go 2. We don’t know if my friend-ette Irma is coming Now, I am a fan of doing things that make little to no sense. It

The weather has decided to get back to be snowy and cold, which is just what it does in April when you live in Calgary, Alberta. I’ve literally spent the entire day I should have been studying staring out the window thinking about Iceland, because you know…snow…outside…Ice…land. Yeah. August I will be heading the Iceland
A Beginner’s Guide to NYC

After a sleepless 12 hour over night Greyhound stint, stuck sitting next to the bathroom, Manhattan can seem a little daunting the first time you see it from a distance. And from there, it only gets worse. You climb off the bus into the August heat, trying to find the right Subway entrance. You have

Irma is possibly the best photo subject in the world. This is from our travels to NYC, the Central Library in particular. Upon finding she was actually a donor to the Library she got over excited and panned for the camera.

A trip from the beach near my grandparents house in Kingston, ON. Yeah, the beach is really disgusting enough to warrant the sign. A half kilometer East though, the water is fine and dandy!

I’m sitting here writing a paper that looks at the development of abortion rights in Latin America from a religious and colonial perspective. I don’t want to be writing this paper. I hate the fact I have to write this paper. I want to be in Latin America, not writing about it. Sitting on a

Does going to Kelowna even count as a vacation when you live in Calgary? I’m serious. I read all these blogs about people going everywhere and anywhere, staying months in exotic locals, eating interesting food, meeting people from all over. Me? I’m going to Kelowna. I’m trying really hard not to complain, Kelowna is beautiful,

OH MY GOD I just realized that one of your goals is to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy in a day.
YOU AND ME, LET’S GO.
I have…experience in these matters.
(It is my public private shame.)
