I love Christmas so much. Theres so much to enjoy about it, the decorations, gifts and food and being around people to celebrate it. My family celebrates it because of the birth of Jesus. I think Christmas is the best holiday ever, especially if you get to spend it in a country that snows so that you can get the white Christmas experience. Everything about Christmas has such a homely feeling. This year I’m going to stay in Canada for Christmas and Im going to celebrate with My mom, Stepdad and my siblings and my Russian friend Polina because she has been begging for a Christmas sleepover. Polina is good at baking so I am going to make her bake me something Christmassy like a gingerbread man. So I am so excited for Christmas.

IRJE# 1 – Tuesdays With Morrie
“Tuesdays with Morrie” is a memoir by Mitch Albom that tells the story of his genuine relationship with his old college professor, Morrie. After separating, a while later Mitch finds out that Morrie is dying and thus they reconnect and visit every Tuesday. During these nice visits, they discuss simple but deep topics like love, death, family and work. Morrie passes on his wisdom to Mitch about how to be grateful and the meaning of life.
When the ceremony is over, we threw our caps in the air and we are officially graduated from college, the senior class of Brandeis University in the city of Waltham, Massachusetts. For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
I think the saying “the curtain had just come down on childhood.” means that it feels like Mitch has officially ended his child like self after having graduated from college.
PW#2- My Roomate
Even though it’s not my first years in Brookes, this is my first year as a dorm student. Its been going really good and I really like my roommate. Hence I’m writing this P.W about her.Her name is Roberta and Im sure you know her. She wasn’t my roommate since the beginning, the first 2 weeks I had my room all to myself. But them after meeting her we immediately bonded and she begged me to move to my room. I was scared of being alone because I don’t like the dark so I agreed. She moved in shortly after I agreed and forced me to organize my half of the room. Having her as a roommate has been mostly great. Even though sometimes we fight or have disagreements, we learned to overcome those challenges by making a small rule book for our room. Since then we have been making a lot of memories and I really enjoy her company. Byeee
Unit 1: WW1 Literature
The book is named All Quiet on the Western Front. It was written by E.M.R and was published in 1929. I thought this book was quite sad and disturbing and I think that’s because it was written from a soldiers perspective. You could really envision what they went through and the grief they had to go through. Even though it was sad, it was quite engaging and I think it is because it was written in a way where it was real. I think it was quite realistic.
PW #1
I am going to write about my friend because she’s making me. Her name is Anna. She’s blonde and very pretty and she has to wear glasses because she’s blind. Anna is like the sweetest person I have ever met and she’s begun to be very special and close to me but probably because I am with her 24/7 because she’s in the dorms as well. She’s on the volleyball team and I do not know any of her other hobbies. If I had to describe her in a way of objects or brands. She’d be a vanilla candle, cinnamon and brandy Melville obviously. And she is like really boy crazy about a boy who she has not had one word with in her whole life, but you know other than that she’s pretty chill and I’d pick her in a room of other friends and whatever. She swears a lot and does pretty weird stuff but at the end of the day she’s chill. kinda. When I come back to the dorms from the weekend, Anna is one of the main things I am excited to see when back in the dorms. And when I am bored, I just go to her room because she’s very entertaining. Thats all I can think of right now.
Introduction
Hi, my name is Ely, short for Elyana. I enjoy shopping, taking pictures, cooking and listening to music. My favourite TV shows are Friends, Modern family, Brooklyn 99, and a kids show named Hannah Montana. I like these shows because they all feel very homey and comforting and when my home or friendships don’t feel stable; I rely on these to make myself feel better. My favourite shops are Pandora, Aritzia, and any Thrift/second hand store. I was born in Singapore and lived there until I was 12 years old then moved to Canada for better education. Only this year have I moved to the dorms. And since I have I’ve met a lot of great people that I probably would’ve have talked to if I was still just a day student. Some are Barbara, Roberta my roommate, Emma, Olivia, Lisa and Maria. I think they are all such nice people and I am very grateful to have met them. Anyways that’s all I could think of right now so.
