It's Here! Final year at university, and I've already got so much on my plate. Expected though.

I still have my marking job, and kept my part time job at the casino. I'm also on the executive team of the Biology Society; the work never ends ! sigh.

I'll try my best to stay on top of things.

Bring on the final lap!

Wish me luck!

Neü.

After three years of being here, I'm finally discovering a decent amount of Nova Scotia. This summer has been so FULL so far!

I've discovered how much i LOVE Sushi. Now, when I get a craving for sushi, it hits me hard, and I have to get it. Contrary to popular believe, sushi is not raw fish. There are types that contain it, yes, but sushi is really about the rice. I always get sushi rolls, because I find them fun to eat. I started out getting Sweet Potato sushi rolls, then some other veggie rolls, then I moved on to fish - cooked ones at that. Tempura is great. It's cooked slightly because they fry the roll So far I've been to

                          Sushi Nami Royale on Dresden Row,

                                   










                                   Fujiyama on Blower's Street,

next to Smoke's Poutine (They have about 50 different types of poutine. Insanity!),

and Wasabi House on Quinpool.

 I don't have any food pictures from there but this is what the building looks like from the outside. It's a small place. Not too small, but it's nice and cozy. The service was good, and we even got free crab sushi roll samples: two rolls for the table. So it was a good experience!

So now onto Smoke's Poutine. I decided to try the "Triple Pork" - Or the "Three Piggies" as my friend likes to call it. It's pulled pork, spicy sausage and bacon. My greedy self decided to get the "WOW" size. -______-. That was an epic fail. I didn't finish after three sittings. Never again. Regardless, some of their combinations are a bit off, and sometimes I just want a simple poutine with some pieces of chicken in there but this one has it's work cut out for it. It's a great amount of poutine for the price, I must say. So if you're an adventurous poutine lover, Smoke's is the place to visit.
      Also, feel free to try this drink they carry called "Calypso". It's a lemonade type of thing. Tastes great.!

Next on the list: The Economy Shoe Shop. =) 

I wish I had a picture of the inside to show you guys what this place looks like. It's gorgeous. It literally makes me feel like I'm in a rainforest at times. Like I'm in Fern Gully haha. They have some poles in here that have been designed to look like trees. And the lighting is so delicate. It's a nice place to calm you down. I love it. I've gone there 4 times, and I always get their Nachos. Enough to feed three, tastes amazing, cheese galore. ! And it's not expensive at all.

                   

Other places I love in Hali are Quiznos (Try their 2 for 6 deal) and the WokBox (I had their butter chicken one time.. yum).

That's it for me. Now I've gone and made myself hungry. Boo!

So Guys,
    When it comes to food,
            Never be too scared to try something Neü.

I'm not poetic,
I'm not athletic,

I'm not creative,
I'm not a realist.
I'm not optimistic,
I'm not pessimistic,
I'm not a model,
I'm not an activist.
I'm not a dancer,
I'm not a rebel,
I'm not an actress,
I'm not a composer.
I'm not a chef,
I'm not a seamstress,
I'm not a genius,
I'm not a beaut...

I'm not a lot of things.. But I AM me.. And these two letters mean a lot more than any adjective you could throw my way.

Our choices define who we are. They decide who we become, mould us, make us, and unfortunately, they sometimes tend to break us.

There are times when we continue to do things that hurt us - mentally, physically and emotionally. So why do we continue to do them? Why do we fight so hard for things that bring us so little happiness and so much grief?

The hardest part of a relationship is realizing when to let go. Acknowledging that its run its course, and that putting your everything hoping to make it work will only destroy all that we've hard and send us tumbling down a rocky mountain. Holding on to what once was a beautiful rose has begun to make us bleed with its endless thorns.

Sometimes, hope is a terrible thing. Hope for bringing back what you once had, and in the process we get hit with continuous disappointment. So much that we end up worse than we were before. Far worse than if we were to just pay attention to the signs and given up. Happy with the memories; content with what we once were and accepting things as they are.

So we keep fighting.. because we just can't see ourselves living differently. We can't see something that was once so beautiful just disappear with the wind. By holding on we become condemned to a life of heartache.. betrayal.. sorrow.. hurt. And all those miserable years that we spent trying to rekindle, we could have had our heart whole - maybe even held and groomed by someone else.

Sometimes.. holding on isn't worth it. Franticly trying to grasp something that's obviously lost is far harder than letting it go.

Don't be afraid of losing something you loved so dearly.

Everything that has a beginning, has an ending,
                                       just as every ending creates space
                                                              for something Neü to begin..  .     .         .                  .
