OUTSIDE
Lilacs and roses are blooming everywhere, and their sweet scent blows in the wind. Our own garden looks like a picture at the moment, and bouquets of the flowers picked from it fill every room of the house.
READING
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. I am thoroughly enjoying the book – it is quite entertaining and full of wisdom.
PLAYING
Lots and lots of Bach. His pieces are so satisfying to play, and I'm discovering them to be a great alternative of warming up the fingers to the boring, repetitive scales I've been playing for years.
LISTENING
To what I'm sure will be my Summer-go-to playlist. I've been slowly adding my favourite tunes to it over the past month or two, and I rather like it. It contains a lot of music by The Lumineers, Vance Joy, Kodaline, Hozier, Birdy, etc...
DISCOVERING
That I'm happiest on a strict schedule. I've always known this, but it hasn't been until this past year that I've been very good at following one. With a schedule, I get my work done, I have more time to spend on hobbies and other things, and I'm just plain happier in general. It also applies to my sleeping habits – I always do best with going to bed at 10:30 and getting up at 7:30. It's so easy to stay up too late, and I don't like sleeping in, so my days end up being very slow because I'm feeling tired and sluggish. Lately I've been triumphing over this struggle, and I am so much happier and relaxed because of it.
TRAVELLING
From Montreal! My parents had to go there for work-related reasons, so I got to come along just for the fun of it. It was a pretty amazing week, despite having to work on my studies at the same time. Some of my highlights were visiting the incredible cathedrals that looked like they belonged in Europe, walking down the romantic cobblestoned streets of Old Montreal, and visiting St. Joseph's Oratory, founded by St. Brother Andre (patron of Canada).
STUDYING
(and almost getting fed up with) my chemistry course. It gets a little exhausting after you've done a couple hundred multiple choice questions in preparation for the final exam. But I have to do well in it if I am to fulfill my aspirations of becoming a nurse one day!
EATING
Lots of chef salads, full of good things like colourful veggies, boiled eggs, ham, and cheese. I've also been blending lots of smoothies. It has been so hot outside lately, and these foods are perfect for this weather.
