Obviously I didn’t have a complete draft of the thesis by the end of May. I still have 10 days to try to have that draft for the end of June. And then another 30 days until the end of July… Just kidding. Aiming for the end of June.
Seals in the Skeena river.
Nass Valley Hot Springs.
No traffic.
Exploring the lava beds.
Lenni in my tent. Nice spot to wake up.
Breakfast.
I’m trying to get back on my thesis, which is difficult if you do it for a few random hours every week. These days I’m working on the discussion chapter. Doubting myself about all the silly things I wrote, but then I remind myself that it doesn’t have to be good, it just has to be done. Looking forward to the day I have just the conclusion left to write.
I had a beautiful flight up to Prince Rupert and could see the beautiful mountains and coastline the whole way up. Once again I realized that I am really in Canada 🙂
The airport is tiny, just one luggage carousel, that’s not actually a carousel but just a ramp. You can see the guys unloading your luggage outside. The airport is located on an island, so you take an old bus to the ferry, across the water, and then your sister waits downtown.
There was a huge fire on the day I arrived… Quite ironic because it meant that there were traffic jams on streets that are usually deserted.
We went to a lovely coffee shop in Cow Bay, it’s called Cowpuccinos.
Lenni loves the guitar and my keyboard. We play lots.
We’ve already gone to the pool twice. Last time Lenni carried his bathing suit from the car to the pool and knew exactly what we were up to. He smiled from ear to ear.
Today I’m flying up to Prince Rupert to see my sister & John, but mostly to visit my little nephew Lennert. Looking forward to spending some time with them. YEAH!
On a different note, I would love to finish my thesis by the end of the month so that I can edit it in July and send it off to Dublin. I haven’t been doing any work these past few weeks, but I’ll get back on it today!
Yeah, June is here. I’ve been anticipating you!
Adjusting to the new/old life is slightly challenging. Some days it’s easy and familiar, but on others I have no idea what I’m doing here. I trust that everything will slowly fall into place. Evan’s roommate is moving out today, we finally found time to get me a phone, Evan’s exams are over, my interview is over, I have started to work on my thesis again, I’ve had some time to play with my nephews, and tomorrow – for the first time since I’ve arrived – we don’t have anything urgent to do. A real Sunday treat.
The day I came back home.
