It's my life...

Ok so I should be in bed, because I have to wake up early tomorrow, but I started thinking, and I feel the need to share this. Looking at my buddy pictures on my shelf, started me thinking. Grade 12 was the best year of my life. I had a job,an interesting job, in which I only worked once a week, a boyfriend who loved me(even if we didn't exactly use that terminology) and I was surrounded by tonnes of friends. I also got my licence, which brought me a new freedom. I was excited for WYD, becoming involved with community projects and basically loving life.

Why am I reflecting on this? I don't know. Do I want everything back? Maybe. I continually look back to that year of my life and wonder where it all went. It's not to say that I'm unhappy right now, because I'm not. I know things change, and things will always change. Change is good, and we have to be flexible with it. But where did everything disappear to? (Logistically I know.)Will it come back? Will I ever feel on top of the world again? It's interesting, at the time I didn't even realize that it was the best year of my life, until I looked back on my life.

Just my thoughts for the evening. I apologize if they're incoherent.

Please post a comment if you stop in. I would appreciate feedback.

Summer starts now...

So the last week has been spent recovering from the semester. Didn't do so well in classes, but so ready to take that bull by the horn and do better. I enjoy having my car again, and I enjoy having a BIG bed. But I miss my friends. Don't get me wrong, I have excellent friends here at home, but school is an entirely different lifestyle. First of all I lived in a house with 11 other girls, here I live with my parents. There, my friends are a 5 minute walk away, and don't have jobs. Here my friends and I have job and family commitments. It's cool and stuff, I guess I've just gotten used to the university lifestyle.

In a couple of days, I move to start my new job. I think it will be a happy medium, I will be living with my aunt and grandmother, in their luxurious basement. I will have the whole tv/dvd player thing going on, and she has a router, so I will be connected to internet, and the best news is...I have my car!! That will be good, as I have a couple friends in the city that I am moving to, and I won't be relying on anyone else. I can't go far into the city, cause I totally don't know my way around it, but I can visit people, and even cooler, I will be living on a lake! Totally excited!!! Oh yeah, and the job is a perfect step to get paid for something I like to do and I'm good at, get my foot in the door with the company and beef up my resume! Three perks for the price of one! It seems like a friendly company, and oh yeah, the wage isn't anything to sneeze at either. Hey can I toss anymore cheesy phrases in here? Only when pigs fly!

Bye for now!
