I’m not going to say that this is a proof of anything because it would be wrong to say thus. But just for the pleasure, I’ll tell you guys that meat is an essential part of MY diet.
You see, we were out of meat and eggs. So I pretty much just ate vegetables, fruits and [...]

Feellin’ Weak
27 Mar
and the strike
is “re-conducted” for another week.
“Le National” may look nice from here, but this is only the view you have from the balcony. Under the balcony there are no chairs and this time it was quite hot and there were so many people, that I didn’t feel quite safe!

Isaiah
Isaiah was right when he said, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20). It is appalling how this is true in my little university world, how lies are embraced and how the [...]

Paska story
Well it’s Easter weekend so I thought I’d make some paska. Paska is Ukrainian Easter bread, it’s sweet and it has icing on top. It’s more of a dessert than anything else. I first had paska in Saskatchewan, we made lots of it for Easter and I remember that the cooks gave me a loaf [...]

New Doctrine…
I really did not feel like going to the Bible study this morning, but I had said I would go so I went. I even had the ridiculous thought that God was keeping me from going when there was a problem with the metro and we waited for a while, but still, my Catholic friend [...]

Strike
I gave my student card to the list guy sitting at his table right in front of me, wondering how much he was actually able to see. The light was quite dim in this people-filled room. He gave me my card and a (this time) red paper. The girl beside him looked at me and [...]

Today was a long day bad and then good. As it has been our tradition for now a almost a month, I spent another entire afternoon sitting and listening to people debate on the idea of continuing or not the strike for another week. After two hours I left and met up with a friend [...]
