Today I spoke at an internship session at school and actually realized that I am proud of what I have achieved so far.
At the same time, today I talked to a few different counselors and realized that achieving the next few stages of my “plan” is going to be a very complex procedure.
I want to take on so many things and go down so many avenues, that I seem to get overwhelmed sometimes. I know as well as anyone else does that I should take things a step at a time, and make each achievement one by one.
But sometimes it’s hard to just sit down and make my hyperactive brain stop so that I can focus. I’ll have to work on that.
It’s only the start of October and I’m already swamped with school work. That’s not an exaggeration either. Starting with last Thursday, I have something listed in my schedule due each day until this upcoming Friday. I’ll be really happy when Thanksgiving Weekend finally gets here.
Regardless of the stress that this work is causing me, I am really happy to be back at school. I had missed the campus life and the feeling of being in class and learning. I sound like a nerd, but I knew while I was working that I wanted to come back and learn more before I go out into the real world.
Of course, I miss having the money and I miss having my weekends free.
I won’t lie though. I have been having some fun here and there too, so things are good. I should mention that I had an incident while inline skating this weekend and am now limping around. It seems to fit my profile as I always hurt myself because I am so active. Oh well… I’m just glad I can still walk up the stairs to my apartment. I live on the fourth floor and there are no elevators, so if I couldn’t do that then I would have a really big problem.
I need to stop thinking about writing and actually write.
Short, medium, or long. Expect blog posts from me on random subjects starting ASAP.
I just figure that the only way I will get better at writing is if I write. Makes sense, don’t you think?
In about two weeks I head back to London, Ontario to go back to school.
I can’t believe that my internship is almost over and that 16 months can go by so quickly. I did a lot over these months and grew quite a bit. I can definitely say that my life is different today compared to how it was a year ago, and I’m happy about that.
Expect more blog posts from me once I return to school. I’m living alone this year and will be focusing on so many different things, I’m sure I’ll be sharing my random thoughts.
But in the not-so-distant future, expect a blog about my cruise experience. I’m heading on a Carnival cruise from Miami to the Bahamas soon and I can’t wait :)
I hope everyone else is doing well…
People have been bugging me a lot lately to post my Japan pictures.
I haven’t done it yet because I’ve been sick, tired or busy since I got back and going through hundreds of pictures to remove the bad ones and insert captions on the good, will take a long time.
I don’t mind the nagging because I know people just want to see what my trip was like. I’m just continuously thinking about how I have to do it and I think it’s not helping anything.
Also, I just realized I haven’t even posted my pictures from my 2005 trip to England yet. Some of you have seen my scrapbook, but not much has gone online.
I really need to sit up really late one night and post them all in one go.
I’d say that I will get things done this weekend, but I’ve got plans and so I just can’t promise. Let’s just see.
Life is short, Break the rules,
Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly,
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.
