Today was a whirlwind, packed with adventures that left me feeling both exhilarated and reflective. I kicked off the day with a hearty breakfast in my room because I knew I needed all the fuel I could get for the day ahead.
First stop: the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. Let me tell you, it was a blast! I spent a good four hours there, soaking in all the exhibits and letting my inner child run wild in the Children's Museum. As a political science and women's studies student, I couldn't help but view everything through that lens. My camera roll is basically a visual diary of my passions!
Back at the hotel, reality hit as I dove into some school work. The strike back home is still looming over everything, but I'm trying to stay hopeful. A quick catch-up with loved ones back home lifted my spirits, though.
Now, let's talk about dinner. Dunn's was the spot, and boy, did they deliver! That sandwich was like a masterpiece between two slices of bread. I'm pretty sure it was better than anything I could've imagined. And that's saying something!
After filling up on Canadian goodness, I took a leisurely stroll through the Byward Market. The lights were mesmerizing, and the vibe was just so chill. And guess what? I finally got my hands on a Beavertail! Fresh out of the oven, it was like a warm hug on a chilly night. Totally worth it.
But the highlight of the evening? Parliament Hill. Standing there, surrounded by history and power, I couldn't help but be overcome with emotion. As a 49-year-old student who's fought tooth and nail to be where I am, it was a moment of overwhelming gratitude and pride.
As I drift off to sleep, I'm filled with anticipation for what tomorrow will bring. Being a mature student has its challenges, but moments like these make it all worthwhile. Here's to another day of adventures and growth!
