I was out of new books to read (well, there’s always university stuff…) so I picked up an old book I’d read a few years ago, “The Knowledge of the Holy” by A.W. Tozer. I mainly read it when I’m sitting in the metro, going to university, or when we have a break in class [...]

Grève Générale Illimitée (litt.:Strike General Unlimited)
Hey, so after a few weeks of being bombarded with flyers and salespeople coming in our classes talking about a possible strike that our faculty (or university branch) could start quite soon, after distributing little squares (red for those in favor and blue for those against the strike) that people would wear on their backpacks [...]

“Noticings”
Two things.
My two sisters gave me a beta fish a few months ago. I asked my nephew Caelan (who’s 3) how I should name it. He only said a word that I didn’t understand, so I asked his brother (well, my nephew as well) what he’d said. Brothers are good to translate eachother’s thoughts it [...]

Twilight, twilight, I’m torn inside my [...]

Brain Fuel
Many little things happened lately. You’re right, university has started again, it’s going pretty smooth so far. I try to make it a point to pray for my teachers.
I. I’m learning about HTML stuff right now, which is challenging for me (I didn’t know that, but ESL teachers have to know how to create “real” [...]

Second first day
Today was my second first day at university. Well, this statement could be false in a sense since some may think that there’s only one real first day (first day of my first year) but this was my second first day at university since I started my second year today. There was a lot of new things happening at [...]
