Collier St. Math

One day, my housemates and I carried a large whiteboard all the way from downtown Toronto up to our house on Collier Street and put it in our basement. We would often come down after breakfast and work there all day, writing our draft solutions on the board and discussing.

Outdoors Society trip

My friends and I joined the Trinity College Outdoors Society on a trip to High Park. We hiked through the forest and stopped to eat timbits by the lake. A hawk swooped over us and patiently waited on a nearby tree for a crying squirrel trapped in the center of the field — natural selection, I suppose.

Nature walk

My dear friend, Angad, and I took a little trip to High Park one afternoon to escape the city life for a few hours. Nature is beautiful and I loved the philosophical talks him and I would usually have on our walks. It’s truly humbling to meet people like him.

Painting

My mom signed me, my dad, and her up for a painting session in the Forrestal Village. We all painted so well for the first time — beginner’s luck I guess!

Melo the man

My friends and I got a bunny named Melo from Montreal! Unfortunately, after we taught him Stokes’ theorem he went feral and ran away to learn integration of k-forms. We loved him. He was potty-trained at birth, somehow, and he only liked us when we fed him bananas.

Hiking in Romania

In the summer of 2019, my family and I took a trip to Romania to visit our relatives and explore the Carpathian mountains. At one point during our hike, we found ourselves in the middle of a giant cloud and could not see! It was so much fun and an all around beautiful experience. Life is so simple up there. Sometimes I wish I could live on top of a mountain somewhere in the east and meditate in peace for the rest of my life.
