This Old Man
I sat beside him, this old man,
He played one and two:
He watched his father leave
So very long ago,
Off to war; off to war.
He picked up a gun to fight
So many years ago,
In the war; in the war.
I sat beside him, this old man,
He looked me in the eyes.
He began to speak, asking me
Won't you listen to my tale?
To what I say? To what I say?

Thinking that I was a man.
I had the story in my head,
They were wrong, we must fight again.

So the snow has finally come! It was a weird start to a December here in Canada, with no snow. Not that I was complaining, it was nice, but the blanket has finally descended.
I will have to take some photos while it still looks pretty and before I become too depressed to go outside :P
Finals are finally over, so winter break has officially started! I am quite excited.
I got accepted into McGill, Bachelor of Arts & Science but I'm hopefully switching into Bachelor of Science next semester in Biology. I'm quite excited, McGill is beautiful and a really great university in a great city.
Hopefully everyone is doing well, Have a great holiday
So I've been in school for almost 2 months now and I still feel like nothing is happening. That terrifies me.
But.... I applied to McGill University in Montreal 2 days ago! I am so excited. I'm going for a Bachelor of Arts in English Lit and something else. I am so excited!
I hope I get in, but I have good enough marks... we'll have to see!
The horse I'm half-boarding has been limping and now he's better so we're slowly starting riding again which is also good.
& today I splurged on music. Bought some Smiths, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis and a Radiohead vinyl. British invasion much? I've always been a bit of an Anglophile... (a bit! ha! everyone
Hey internet world,
So anyway, I have been dying the past few weeks cause of school and that was like the calm before the storm. Almost literally.
The next week will be a million assignments and tests and I am freaking out.
It doesn't help that this weekend my friend and I are volunteering for an AIDS benefit. I am very excited but no time to study! AHHH!
There are only two more weeks of lectures left and then exams. June 1st I am officially free. Hopefully I survive until then.
Does anyone have any great summer plans?
I know I do! :) I'm going to ..... PARIS! And then I'm going to Croatia and Serbia to visit the famjam. I am very exci
