da deus fortunae

 

I could jump off the rooftop in joy right now. Latin exam is complete. I'll be handing in my Ancient Greek translations on Friday and writing my final two exams of the semester on the 19th. Hear comes the holidays! My skis are waxed and waiting to hit the slopes.

I dressed up as Marie-Antoinette for a Halloween outing on Saturday evening. Without a doubt my favourite part was styling my hair. It took me perhaps 30 minutes to create the look. A lot quicker than my normal blow drying, hot tool styling bonanza. Wish it were Halloween every day, I'd be sporting this style more often ;)

so much to do, so little time

Studying, studying, studying. Writing, research, lots of tea and enjoying freshly picked up apples from  the market. Maybe it'll start raining. That would make it a perfect studying day.

the stars are shining so bright

 

"He sounded faintly sad. Perhaps he finds beauty saddening - I do myself sometimes. Once when I was quite little I asked father why this was and he explained that it was due to our knowledge of beauty's evanescence, which reminds us that we ourselves shall die. Then he said I was probably too young to understand him; but I understood perfectly." - I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith

just sitting here

 

Sitting in bed, indulging in a huge pile of magazines (OK, and perhaps I'm reviewing some Ancient Greek and Latin vocabulary as well). Got two wisdom teeth pulled out today. I kind of enjoy any excuse to live off milkshakes and smoothies for a few days.

Bruschetta, des asperges au four avec un filet d'huile d'olive et la traduction d'un menu décadent (un petit contrat) et mon nouvel emploi au Ministère de l'environnement : la vie est belle!

Pretty sequins. Merde j'aime les choses qui pétillent.

l'art de l'otium

 

Handing in a terribly long essay on Sidoine Apollinaire and Pline le Jeune. I now want some hard liquor and a good detective novel to read to forget all about this semester. I never thought I would translate anything harder than Latin, until I took up Ancient Greek this past school year. Let the debauchery of summer begin!

i'm going back to the start

ce qui m'ensorcelle

Rainy Sunday morning. Unruly frizzy hair and comfy jeans. Life is good.

J'ai toujours trouvé que Shae Acopian Detar était une source incroyable d'inspiration lorsque j'ai besoin d'un peu de magie dans mon univers. J'ai des boucles aujourd'hui qui me font pensées à l'époque où l'on dansait le Charleston.

et hop le printemps

Vivement les journées à faire la paresse au soleil aux terasses des cafés. Hier j'ai passé une magnifique journée à Montréal à faire du shopping et tout simplement profiter de cette belle ville.

Such a pretty face.
