I have always found so much peace in London. Although they have quite a lot of crime, it is still one of my favourite, if not my favourite, city. The idea of living in Kensington sounds like the perfect life to me. I love the architecture they have as well. London’s neighbourhoods each have their distinct character, whether it’s the bohemian vibe of Camden or the upscale elegance of Kensington. London’s multicultural atmosphere, bustling markets, and endless opportunities make it a unique and exciting place to live. Ever since I visited in the summer, it’s truly all I have been thinking about. Some of my favourite movies were filmed there, such as Notting Hill, and Mamma Mia (only a small fraction of it was filmed there). I also love the amount of opportunities it brings. They have some of the most prestigious universities as well. In the end, living in London sounds perfect.

IRJE #1- Coco Chanel
“Coco Chanel, An Essence of Mystery” written by Isabelle Fiemeyer. Coco Chanel is the founder and namesake of the luxurious brand Chanel. She had a brief career as a signer before her first clothing shop opened in 1910. She grew up in a time when women were expected to wear confining pieces, but her goal was to design classy articles of clothing that were fashionable but also comfortable. Instead of offering corsets and lace frills, she designed wide-leg pants and sailor shirts.
“It’s not the appearance, It’s the essence.
It’s not the money, It’s the education.
It’s not the clothes; It’s the class”
This quote is special because Coco Chanel would say it all the time. She has made a fashion staple and inspired many women to do the same. Her clothes have revolutionized the fashion industry. She may not be alive anymore, but her legacy still stands strong and holds value throughout people’s lives.
PW#1- My favourite season
My favorite season is either fall or spring. I cannot really handle hot temperatures, so summer is my least favorite. However, I enjoy summer when I’m anywhere but Canada because I love to explore new countries. I love it when the leaves on trees turn pink or red, I think it’s so beautiful. I find summer miserable on a muggy day because it’s too hot to do anything. I find winter beautiful only when it snows, especially if it’s fresh snow. Spring is my favorite because it’s when all the flowers start to bloom, and the temperature is perfect, not too hot, not too cold. My birthday is also in the spring so that just adds to it. Fall is also my favorite because it’s like a mix between winter and summer, but better. I’m not the biggest fan of halloween because I dont really like horror but I love fall. Fall and spring both have amazing qualities which makes me like them so much.
My personal opinion on “Master and Man”
I enjoyed Leo Tolstoys “Master and Man” novel to a certain extent. I believe it is a fantastic novel for those who enjoy a good fictional story about the bygone days, like me. However, I did not find this particular one amusing to read, as I had a hard time understanding what the story was about. When the story started to progress and get more interesting near the end, I enjoyed it more and more and started to understand who the characters were and what effect they had on the story. The end of the story was a good way to end the book because it showed that Vasili could be a somewhat good person and, despite all of the egotistical behaviour, he still saved Nikita’s life by laying on top of Nikita to keep him warm. The subtle humour made the story more enjoyable and made it feel more like real life rather than just a fictional book. I would’ve liked to know more about Vasili’s past and how he came to be. I feel like it would enrich the story to make it more enjoyable.
My Introduction!
Hello! My name is Avery Adamschek. I was born in Vancouver on May 20th, 2010. My family and I moved to Victoria when I was around 3-4 years old to be with the rest of my family. I have a dog, Kona. He is a labradoodle which is a Labrador and doodle mixed. My favourite colour is light pink because it reminds me of my favourite flowers which are peonies. My dream is to move to Paris when I’m older. Paris is rich in culture and art, two things I love. I also think it has a lot of amazing job opportunities. I love fashion, vogue, shopping, poems, and tea! I love to visit new places, especially when it’s a city.
