Ontarian here, but I have been following the election a bit, as it seems to be quite a close race, and I have a journalist friend living in Edmonton. After everything I have read, I must say that between the two, […]

This might make you smile a bit if you dislike those pain scales. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.ca/2010/02/boyfriend-doesnt-have-ebola-probably.html

Great article! I have AS as well, although it affects me much differently. My main problem is with my SI joints (a lot of discomfort/pain with sitting, I basically just don’t sit unless necessary now, b/c my SI […]

Being able to accept or admit to making a mistake without getting defensive is such an important thing. It’s something I still struggle with a lot, so I really admire that you can do that. I also think it makes […]

I moved away from home for the first time, to a city where I knew no one, to start grad school 4.5 months after I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis. Since this is a post about mistakes, I’m sure you can […]

Great article! There’s some really interesting research out there about how nature/wilderness and Aboriginal peoples have been incorporated into Canadian identity. You should check out Eva Mackey’s “The House of […]

Thanks so much for your input! I think you’re right about planning my schedule out carefully, that’s something I will definitely look into.

I really enjoyed this article. It’s always nice to read about how people cope with regular life things while having a chronic illness. It also shows me that there are ways to cope with chronic illness and having […]

Excellent choices :-D

So glad that Persephone is back up and running! Anyways, I watched Away We Go tonight on netflix and it was so sweet and funny. “I love my babies, why would I want to push them away from me?” Anyone else like this […]

I will take that Baileys ice cream and add chocolate covered coffee beans and a caramel swirl. Yumm! I am missing spring too. I like the weather when the temperatures fall into a nice 15-20 degree range. It is 26 […]

This is an excellent article that sums up the situation very well. One thing that I wanted to add was that things seem to be a bit tense between students who have embraced the strike, and those who are still […]

What is happening with the Republican primary? Santorum just won both Mississippi and Alabama, which seems to be a bit of an upset from what the polls and Nate Silver were predicting. I’m only following things a […]

Thank you both so much! Luckily I’m in Canada, so tuition is a lot more manageable, and they have offered me decent funding. And in the fall I can apply for government grants for next year. That article looks […]

I’m pretty excited because I heard back and I got into the grad program I applied to. I was so nervous since I only applied to one program, and I can still hardly believe it. I kept worrying that it was a mistake, […]

Ugh, he sounds like kind of a jerk. I think it’s understandable that you didn’t realize what was going on until today. I think it’s sometimes hard to admit that certain behaviours are bullying. It can be hard to […]

I completely agree. Katniss was pretty great in book 1, but after that, I wasn’t as fond of her. But that may be because I  didn’t really like books 2&3 that much. Mrs. Weasley, however, was consistently awesome.

Oh okay thanks. So it’s the name that follows the @ in their profile. I’ll try again!
