Mais où sont les plages d’antan?
I want to go sailing
Between little green islands
In a warm and tropical sea.
Oh I want to eat shellfish,
And I want go snorkeling,
And I want to dance Zouk in the streets.
I want to throw rocks at a branch of avocados
and catch the fruits as they fall,*
But I would be happy if I only went sailing;
I want to do that most of all.
If I just finish this one essay, and then the next, and then maybe pass three midterms next week and write a bunch more essays and survive New York City, then perhaps I will find a way to go back.
Last night, I found out that I have been accepted to study my Masters in History next fall at the University of Victoria. No word yet on Queen's or the University of Ottawa, but it's still early.
*Don't try this at home.
