Red Trillium and enchanting nature

The Sudan, or Kenya!
Just as I was thinking about whereI wanted to go next in the fall, I got an email. A proposal that I submitted for a conference about the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in the Sudan was accepted! The best part is that all my travel expenses will ...
Day at Wolfe Island
... . After standing on the train for about twenty minutes without a seat I was put in one of those four person seats with three other kids and barely any legroom. Was not that impressed. Would I go back to Wolfe Island? No. Kingston is pretty enough though! ...
Doubters! eat your socks!

Is Queen's calling me home?
... on Wednesday morning went well, and I was one of the few applicants who didn't have to really justify why I would moved to Kingston (having lived there twice already). They also asked me to say hello to my "Uncle Bill"... I think they were a little ...
Studying, Toronto, Quidditch, Sinterklaas and more

Anticipation
