I woke up early today, around 6am. It was cool so I could take my time in the shower. Before that though I filled the wood house again and then took a shower. It was freezing cold so I decided to use warm water instead of the usual ice cold one. After I took the …
DAY 9: MONKEY, COME OUT!
After what Laila told me last night I just kept waking up during the night. Each sound made my mind wander into the abyss of my worst thoughts. “What is that? Will someone come into my trailer? What if a girl straight from a horror movie show up?” These kind of worries kept me scared …
DAY 8: FIGHTING OVER CORN
Waking up early has never been as easy as it is in this camp. Going to bed tired really helps to just sleep through the night so well. During breakfast we saw a fox just passing really close to the activity building. It just passed showing no fear for humans. Jim told us that that …
DAY 7: SCREW IT!
My first day in Canada started with a good jog. As soon as I noticed a ray of light getting into the trailer, I dressed up and went to a water spring close by. I run a little bit less than 3km back and forth. Starting the day in a healthy way is great, especially …
DAY 6: LIGHTHOUSE LANDING CAMP
As usual I really do my things at the very last moment and risk to miss everything I planned for. Luckily, I have been born with a lucky star watching over me. This time I risked to miss the bus because I decided at the last moment to cook my frozen chicken sticks so that …
DAY 5: HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE?
I woke up really early because I did not practice at all since I got here in Canada. I had breakfast and tried to stay away from milk and all the things that could hurt my voice. In fact, I already got diagnosed of vocal nodules before leaving, so I did not want to hurt …
DAY 4: SO IT WAS AN INDIAN WEDDING
I started the day with an early morning jog. It did not feel as good as the first time I jogged two days before. Once I got to the park I worked out again and did some fast running around the park for a total of something in between three and four hundred meters every …
DAY 3: CHINESE BBQ
When you actually have lots of time and you are alone, you got to be disciplined. Unfortunately, I am not. I spent the morning doing nothing and double checking things online even though I knew that I had so much to do. Learning the songs for the wedding for example. I went out from my …
DAY 2: YOU PRONOUNCE IT ”YONGE”!
My first day in Canada started with a good jog. I went to a park close by and run a little bit more than 1km. Starting the day in a healthy way is great, especially if it is not easy. I call it “voluntary hardship”. I stole this sentence from a Youtube video talking about …
DAY 1: CANADA, OH CANADA
Canada, oh Canada. I always dreamed of traveling to Canada and now I am here. I will be honest, I am actually writing this the 30th of July. But I will try to talk about my adventures as if I am writing day by day. In this way I will not write any spoiler, though …
