This Québec life as seen through the eyes of an Irish-American doctoral candidate in études littéraires. Academia - About Moi. Fitness - Run, Yoga, ad infinitum. Les Amis - première partie. A brief word on les amis. Before I head to dinner.

Thus, my year here is going to necessitate a personality change of sorts. And he's super handsome. I did some angl...

This Québec life as seen through the eyes of an Irish-American doctoral candidate in études littéraires. Academia - About Moi. Fitness - Run, Yoga, ad infinitum. Here we are, approaching midterms! I can't believe it's nearly been 7 weeks back already. Time flies, and all that. Well, I promised I'd let you know how my group presentation went, and as it turns out, I had another presentation in the works, too. Making mistakes. Sigh. Presentation #2 was in my class on le réalisme magique. The next presentati...

This Québec life as seen through the eyes of an Irish-American doctoral candidate in études littéraires. Academia - About Moi. Fitness - Run, Yoga, ad infinitum. Trying to be back. Watch this space, because I'm back! I'm thinking that I'll try and use the blog/website as a way to keep myself accountable during this dissertating process. Because it is a doozy. I'm also hoping to not use it too often as a convenient excuse for procrastination. That should work, right? Social life, not so much, but that's ok.

This Québec life as seen through the eyes of an Irish-American doctoral candidate in études littéraires. Academia - About Moi. Fitness - Run, Yoga, ad infinitum. Flash forward a couple of weeks. I moved in on the 29th of July, spent a couple days cleaning the whole thing, then my stuff arrived on the 31st, along with the fridge and the stove that I found on kijiji. So without further delay, here's my palace on rue Saint-Olivier:. And an air mattress! I feel like such an adult. Also in the kitchen, my fri...

This Québec life as seen through the eyes of an Irish-American doctoral candidate in études littéraires. Academia - About Moi. Fitness - Run, Yoga, ad infinitum. Academia - About Moi. You might be wondering, "what's a place like me doing in a girl like this? I enjoy a good pint. I am very much a work in progress, but I'd like to think it's the good kind of progress!
