Hello everyone, My previous blog was about the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. I’m happy, and sad at the same time, knowing that this semester will be my very last semester in the music program. This time, back to business :). This semester has been treating me very well, by far. However, being back to … [Read more…]
Hello everyone! What a semester it’s been! The time is flying by, and my seminar is coming up soon. As a requirement for my Master’s degree, I have to present my research to the department of Chemistry in a 40 minute presentation. While, I’m crazy nervous, I’m also excited for it. My research is going … [Read more…]
I have heard many times that graduate school is a marathon and not a sprint. In fact, in her blog post last week Amy Sheppard said this very thing! I wanted to expand on this idea because for the past year I spend most of my time either running or working on my thesis. I … [Read more…]
I had a look at the last few blog posts from other student writers and we are all lamenting the same thing: Winter. And that’s how I am going to start my post too. So what if it’s been done? The cold, blustery wind is rattling my window as I sit in my cozy workspace … [Read more…]

The transition is like moving from 3rd year to 4th in your undergrad. … [Read more…]
Hello lovely readers! I hope you had a relaxing Christmas break and did not have too much trouble getting back on the wintry Rock. It might just be my luck but my journey could have been smoother. I think the weather gods have something against me. First off, there was a snowstorm the day before … [Read more…]
Happy Near Year and welcome back to Mun for the winter semester! I hope that the winter holidays were as much of a nice break for all of you as it was for me. As much as the holidays are a time to kick back, binge-watch Christmas movies, and catch up on all those Netflix … [Read more…]
The end of the year is a very reflective time, where we devote more awareness to the important connections in our lives.

We hear that short phrase often, don’t we? I’ve got much of it during this interesting third semester at MUN. I’ve been submerging into St. John’s music-educational lifestyle, performing with a few Cirque du Soleil artists as well as other prominent Canadian artists, ice-hockey and opera experiences in St. John’s, and a few more. There … [Read more…]
