not all girls wander on purpose

"…the best and most efficient way to learn something is to write about it, because it kind of parboils your attention, and forces you to really crystalize your intellect and… gather your information with great discipline (to) come up with conclusions." - Elizabeth Gilbert

“…I love to take notes- often for no apparent reason. I’m always marking up books, making odd lists, gathering examples of strange categories, copying messages. For some reason, I like working on some permanent, undefined research project” – Gretchen Rubin

I blog to learn and to make a record of my life. It is like writing a book without a plot.

The view from my living room window, I haven’t really ever paid attention to the bars before today. Thinking about going back to Canada in a month reminds me of how lucky I am. #greatful

Ashley quirk: I lay on the floor in the kitchen, the tiles are cool and this is my view. Sidenote: I’m bored, I am making tomorrows lunch for the Eat Below the Line challenge (under $1.50US/day spent on food, day 5 of 5 tomorrow).

When I was unsuccessfully fumbling my way through grade 10 math, I could have never pictured myself back here, now being a teacher of math. Life is full of twists and turns.
