June 28

I'm so excited. Finally, the well-deserved and expected mid-year summer break is coming. And there was no better way to announce it than all my friends and I enjoying today as a united course, in a pleasant outing to a beautiful nature reserve. I am very happy that in my course we are more united, but it also hurts me that this time is running out faster and faster. Like petals of a dandelion, the current of time will one day separate us.

It is because of this last thought melancholy has attacked me very hard this year. The feeling of sadness is so strong and constant, that it mixes with the laziness of the tasks and the pre-university stress to end up generating only a constant mental saturation. I need to prepare for my future, but I know that I really need a break.

Canada. That is the solution. Traveling to that quiet country of the world will serve as a cream to cure my cracks caused by saturation. I will go alone, since my father has been resting in peace since I was seven years old, and my mother has a lot of exams and recovery jobs pending to qualify. But there is no need to contact a tourist guide or travel agency. For four years my older sister has lived in Canada and studied Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, and at this time she also went on summer vacation. I spoke with her last week on the phone and she told me that she will be very happy to see me and she also urgently needs a break.

The plan is that both will travel through different parts of the country, we will talk about all the things we see and we will tell each other everything that has happened to us since our "separation". I imagine that she will have changed a lot over time. If she looks different in the pictures she share on social networks, I imagine that the difference will be much more noticeable when I look at her. I have not communicated with her again, but I am anxiously waiting for her to tell me what to do.
