What do you do when you have become what you loathe most, doing things you never would have imagined yourself doing? You spend years looking down at such behaviour, thinking that you would never stoop to such a level, that you’d never fail your high moral standards, that you’d never reach the depths of depravity… Read More The Other Woman

I have to admit that one of the first things that I check when I get my weekly Maclean’s is Scott Feschuk’s column. He often hits the nail on the head with a humor that I just can’t get enough of.

I have been running out of luck lately when it comes to my walkman. I keep running out of batteries at the most inopportune moments. And yet, more often than not, being able to hear what is going on around me has proven to be very interesting. A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting… Read More Interculturalism’s interesting fruits
Ah, the life of a college student. It makes it a lot easier on me to have someone with whom I can share the workload. My sister is great – she’s much more organised than me, and she helped me more than once organise myself, while I help her with memorization. Unfortunately, we can’t share… Read More The Car in the Fog
I was late for work again. And it was because of my writing. It was going nowhere, and was again in the way of my “real” career as an ER nurse. Enough! Never again! I shoved my papers at the back of my drawer. I had five issues of nursing journals to read. I had… Read More The Cream-Colored Envelope
