It’s a Monday. It’s early. I want a refund.
I think I’m attempting to break my sleep schedule in a whole new way. It used to be by 5:00 in the morning I’m contemplating going to bed. Now? I ended up doing so at a semi-reasonable hour last night–and promptly woke up at 5:00 in the morning instead. More … Read the rest

Your postsecondary tuition only goes in one direction. Who wants to guess?
Tired of guessing? Here’s a hint. In all but 3 provinces, tuition’s on a larger than life increase. I met up with this larger than life factoid when I started my own trek back to college and, well, we know how that ended. When I went to college … Read the rest

Hey, who turned on the highschool flashback?
So I was randomly bored this morning, and decided to look up the attendance list for one of those highschool reunions I can never manage to scrape together either the money or a halfway decent reason to show up at. Of the folks who were actually added to the publicly … Read the rest

If rules are made to be broken, then plans are made to be changed.
I was originally planning to leave Rochester a little over 2 weeks ago due to potential school things. Those potential school things ended up falling through, so I got to stay for the rest of the month. I was due to leave this past saturday, on account of I have … Read the rest

Last big weekend in Rochester, summarized. Awesome.
I may have spent the last 3 days playing catch-up on what happened over the weekend, but the weekend was still far worth it. It was pretty well back to back cellebrating of one thing or another–first with a belated wedding shower for a couple friends of ours on Saturday, … Read the rest

Volunteering my life away. Or, rather, trying to.
