I’m still getting used to the idea that I am an alumna of U of T, even though I officially graduated three weeks ago. Maybe it's because I'm spending the summer here at this magnificent blog, but I don't feel…
Trying new things (on my feet)
When I decided to do this series of blog posts about trying new things on campus, I knew that it would come to this. Until this weekend, I had never been to a gym. I’ve only ever been in the…
Progress
From last September until now, I’ve made progress. I acknowledged my penchant for lying around, and I made solid goals to get myself moving. I also reached these goals and am currently in the process of reaching others. I completed…
Being Graceful 24/7
