So, the academic program I’m working on is structured so that we have major exams every six to eight weeks, rather than “finals,” so I cycle fairly regularly through periods of relative calm, and periods of studious hibernation. Today is one of the days where I have to camp out in my apartment and study, and this is what I woke up to.
It was so nice of the weather to cooperate. I love love love winter weather, and the best kind of day, for me, is one where I can stay indoors with a cup of coffee and watch while the snow comes down.

Even though it’s not Christmas, it’s still winter, and one of my favourite things about the season will still be around for a good while – snow. Tall grass and winter weather, taken in Calgary near the elementary school I used to go to.

More from our trip to the St Lawrence Market this weekend. Because it’s winter, a lot of the produce is gone, but there is still an absolutely vast amount of meat and cheese to choose from. As we all know, good quality cheese is my Kryptonite, but I tried to restrain myself – I just bought one, a smoked cheddar that I’ve tried and enjoyed in the past.
Then we went for a bit of a walk home, instead of taking the subway back. Past Old City Hall:
Where I got myself something delicious and truly Canadian: poutine. The greatest food the universe has to offer.
