The work is really piling up this week, but on the bright side, I’m beginning to get the hand of instantly recording down stuff I need to do so that a) I don’t forget it, and b) I can schedule the next action. Combined with this cool weekly schedule task planner template, I feel like [...]

Last Sunday, after the madness that was homecoming, Jason felt the urge to wake up early and make pancakes, so the household was up by 1020am and in the kitchen.
The running joke is that Eugene (in white) is the “Cook” and Jason is the “intern”, so this video is of the Cook giving the intern [...]

If it’s not readily apparent by all the blog posts, pictures and videos I’ve been sharing, I love Queen’s and I love Kingston. But like Terence, Queen’s is turning out to be uncannily like SMU! From the class participation to the almost-weekly deadlines to the group work to people studying in the library from the [...]

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted up a new video, so I’ve decided to do one today!

One thing I love about being on exchange. I can wear absolutely ridiculous looking sunglasses like those, and no one even cares!
It’s actually pretty cold, and the low temperature [...]
