New Year, Old Habits

 Here's a hint about one of the places I went this summer. 

Also, a fairly accurate portrait of my energy levels at the moment!

Well, hello! I'm back! Has it really been 9 months since I last posted? The last school year was very tough, and basically left me emotionally incapacitated for most of the summer. I'm feeling better now, any way, and I am back in Canada for my final year of University! I'm two weeks in, and procrastination is starting to rear it's ugly head, so I thought I'd start blogging again. Also a couple of people have mentioned my blog in the past few weeks, which was a nice reminder that people do actually read it!

Suppose I'd better get a picture of some food in here somehow!

Jerk-style and souvlaki-style chicken on the barbie.

At the moment I'm enjoying my courses, and have been getting up to some fun, sometimes food-related things outside of school. I've moved into a new flat with two friends, close to campus so I have a bit more free time, and with a bigger kitchen! I'm still trying to improve my cooking, so will be trying some new things, though I might post a few of my own recipes.
If all goes well and I get enough homework done, I'll be doing some baking later on today so stay tuned for a food post!

I hope all of you are well, and I'll be speaking to you soon!

Merry Christmas!

I'm home at last! I got home on Wednesday and after an exhausting day in London (complete with aftenoon tea!) we decorated the tree last night. Now I am officially ready for Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone, and I will see you in the new year!

Song of the Week

It's exam time again! My first exam isn't until Friday, but then I have an evil cluster of them, so that will be fun.
This week it is the return of my favourite creepy carol, in a slightly different form. Castleton Carol, by Kerfuffle. It's a renaissance carol, also known as Down in Yon Forest. Variants have been collected a few times, most notably by Vaughan Williams, as the title suggests in Castleton, Derbyshire.

Song of the Week

School is starting to get busy once again. I had a bit of a rest for a bit, but now everything is hotting up again and I'm going to have to start revising for finals. The last day of the semester is this time next week, I can't believe it! Everything is going so fast! I also can't believe that it is the first Sunday of advent this weekend - where has the time gone?
My first final is in Statistics, and fittingly I have gone for a song called Mathematics by Cherry Ghost
Cherry Ghost have been around for a while now. I got to see them at Truck festival in the summer and I was surprised by how many of their songs I had heard before. Anyway, this is probably my favourite of theirs.

Song of the Week

Dad and I had a really great time in Washington and Oregon at the weekend, despite the rain, wind and snow!
This week's song is "How Come You Never Go There" by Feist, from her new album Metals. I bought the album last week and this is probably my favourite song from it :)
