Christmas break

It's been ages since I updated this blog, I actually forgot about it :-) !
It has been a nightmare lately as I got used to having 3 to 5 hours of sleep per night; howveer, the good news is that next Thursday, I will sit for the last exam in this masters degree.
Next term, I'll be fully dedicated to working on my research paper. I still can't believe it went so fast, and I finished all my courses with straight A's !
So, what have I been up to lately?
I ended up playing the piano at Allegro, soon enough, another restaurant phoned me, and now I'm playing there as well. I had some arrangements with the Music Department at Concordia, and we're working on a small music project together. ALSO, I'm now the official pianist for all the events happening at Concordia University. I have played there twice so far, and everyone was enjoying my music, I even built myself a website for my piano services:

The worst thing to do in Canada is paper work. As an international student, I have to keep renewing my study permits, work permits, and Visa. I have paid thousands of dollars keeping my documents up to date, but the worst part is TIME. In case you decided to apply to any of the above permits, make sure you do so at least 60 days in advance !
I have experienced how it feels to live in a human freezer ! We had a temperature of -56 degrees, it was the second coldest city in the world after Cyberia ! I still believe that this land was made for dinosaurs and that humans can NOT survive here :-) !

So, Christmas is almost here and I'm going back home for a visit (21 days vacation). I lied to my parents by telling them I'll be there on the 22nd, HOWEVER, i'm leaving here on the 14th :) !

I'll try to post as much pictures as I can.

Cheers
