One of my bookshelves and I.\u00a0And this hair of mine is\u00a0growing like crazy. Awesomeness!*<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Time flies. As I always say. I studied a lot, learned a lot, read a lot but Friday nights are just sacred for me to unwind, relax and reflect. There is always some time to maintain this blog however; simply because I love to write and share things. Here are my Friday\u2019s Five Things.\u00a0Enjoy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Reading:\u00a0<\/strong>Even though I have to read a lot for University, there is (and always will be) time for pleasure-reading. I am officially reviewing books for Harper Collins Canada<\/a><\/strong> now and they already sent me a copy of \u2013 Wally Lamb\u2019s I \u2018ill Take You There<\/a><\/strong>, \u00a0which is fantastic and keeps me up all night even though I should sleep. It will be released end of November!\u00a0Stay tuned for a book review soon!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watching\/Listening to:\u00a0<\/strong>Besides documentaries for University I watched Paw Patrol <\/a><\/strong>with Petit Joel. He is obsessed with this show and I like it too in a way. [It is not dumb like some other kid\u2019s shows I mean.] We do not have regular TV because we decided not to; however, we enjoy Netflix here and there. It is really special for Petit Joel to curl up on the couch next to me with blankets and (salty) popcorn and watch a bunch of Paw Patrol episodes on a Friday night before bedtime. Sacred time. For both of us. I found out about the podcast How I Built This on NPR<\/a><\/strong> and I listen to it every day on my phone when I get a chance \u2013 that\u2019s how good it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discovering\/Learning: <\/strong>My\u00a0neighborhood is pretty new to me and Petit Joel and I still discover. As far as eating goes, I love to purchase local vegetables, fruit and whatever is in season. I was happy to find out about Bryson Farms<\/a><\/strong> and that they deliver organic, locally grown veggies right to my door. However, it is way more fun to physically go to a farmers market, walk around, browse and discover. Needless to say, I am fortunate again. \u00a0There is a really awesome one located at Lansdowne Park<\/a><\/strong> every Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm. Lastly, if you are into art,\u00a0Watch this amazing video<\/a><\/strong> which is a collaboration between surrealist painter Salvador Dal\u00ed and Walt Disney. I love art and cannot wait to visit The Ottawa Art Gallery<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and all the other museum that are around here.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking About:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>A lot of things actually. That the workload for this Master is very intense. Time management is a good thing but it can become a little\u00a0overwhelming and tiring at points. Sometimes I have to be careful what I wish for. Then again, I love linguistics and what it is all about but when there are three papers due, a journal synthesis and an oral presentation in one week, it is sort of INSANITY. Playing with Petit Joel, spending time in nature and at the playground keeps me grounded and makes it all manageable. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New month, new journal.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking forward to:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Seeing my husband again. I am literally counting the days when we can pick him up at the airport and spend quality time time together. This is what it is all about. Even though we cannot be together all the time, we still are so close and able to manage this long-distance relationship very well \u2013 even throughout challenging times. The key for us is trust, respect, compromise and care.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
