Montreal

Walking alongside the port with two wonderful human beings by my side, guiding me along the river and describing the scene of Old Montreal, complete with horse-drawn, rose-colored carriage passing by, the night was practically perfect. The day was spent enjoying the wonderful company of the girl who may be the best friend I made in Paris, and enjoying the simple acts of dressing up or making pancakes together. I was overwhelmed with excitement when I saw Amel at the bus station, and we embraced one another with giggles and squeals that put young schoolgirls to shame! Shopping together again in another beautiful city was also a delightful experience that I had missed being able to blissfully escape into with her since my return to America.
Even though midterms are haunting me and my twenty-page paper has yet to have a single page sent in to my professor, who has requested at least half of my first draft in his inbox to view before my next tutorial, I'm managing to have some fun and still make some progress. Life is far from perfect, but right now, I am happy, et la vie est encore belle <3
