It truly is a gorgeous language.
I’m hoping to take it in my 11th and 12th year, and begin studying privately as well, afterward. I really want to have a second language that I can speak in, fluently. How wonderful it would be! I envy those who can speak more than one language, and I strive to be like that.

In my opinion, the cello is the most “human” instrument when it comes to sound. It’s divinely beautiful in both voice and appearance. I am very happy to be able to own such an instrument! In October I’ll be taking lessons, hopefully, if all goes well with paying for them.
It’s been my dream for many years to be able to play an instrument, and I’m honored to have the chance to play such a great instrument. I feel somewhat ashamed, though, that I wasn’t able to learn it while I was younger. I hope I still have the chance to be a skilled player.
Please wish me luck!

My great grandfather’s late wife’s collection of souvenir spoons was given to me recently. She traveled a lot, so she was able to collect spoons from many different places! Along with the few I had prior to receiving these as a gift, I now have a fair collection myself and hope to add to it when I travel. :)

Recent Trip
16 months ago
I came home just a few days ago from a 3 week vacation in Sicily. I traveled to Palermo, Agrigento, and Syracuse—among other cities and towns.
Having never been outside of Canada, it was an interesting experience! I was able to see things that I’ve never seen before, and spend all my time immersed in a very different culture. (I stayed with a Sicilian family)
I’d like to see northern Italy, if I were to go back.

“Must read” count—up to 22, now. I’m looking to make my to-read pile a little bit bigger, and then get to working my way through them! Kind of exciting.

This is honestly the worst habit I have.
I really dislike waking up only to realize I’ve slept the entire morning away. It’s a bit depressing. I’m much more of a morning person, but have fallen into a long phase in which I go to bed at ungodly hours (3AM, 4AM..) Going to bed late—no matter how many hours I sleep, has it so that I feel like I’ve only gotten 4 hours rest.
I love waking up in the early morning, when every thing seems quieter… hearing the birds. Things need to change, and has to change with me. Goal right starting tomorrow is to get into bed with a book at 10:00pm, tops. :)

I seem to spend far too much time on here. It’s not very healthy. There is more to life than a computer screen… I need to at least spend my time on here in moderation. I’m hoping to occupy myself with new activities this autumn.
It just always seems like there is so much to do or read about on the internet, haha.
