3 weeks to go!

Well, time is ticking...3 weeks till Christmas break! How crazy is that? Time is flying. Students are into their last couple days of classes and then 22 hour quiet hours begin, oh how I've missed thee! It will finally be nice to sleep through a night without being woken up, or just sit in my living room and be able to hear the TV!
Don't get me wrong, I love my job. The best part about it is the staff...I love my staff. They are all so sweet, and just always want to learn. They are doin an amazing job this year, I can't thank them enough, each and every one of them.
But yeah, 3 weeks and I'll be home. I am very excited because I can't wait to just sleep in, and chill out with friends and family, and of course pets! It's the best, friends I haven't seen in a while, chillin, house parties, seeing friends parents, it will be sweet!
Anyways, that's my rant for the day.....
Ciao.

Hope I made the right deicision...

Well, it's been done, I have put my RCMP tests on hold. I think that I've made the right decision. My heart is in travelling and I feel that if I don't do it now, I will never get that chance back. A wise person once said "The career path will be there when you return", she's right :) Thank you, I love you!
I am just a big "what if" person, what if things don't work out and I don't get to travel? What will I do then? Hopefully everything will fall into place and I will be able to go where I truly want to. I want to see so many places, so many cultures, so manty things....so little time. I plan to spend 2 years travelling. The first year based out of Korea, and the next year, 3 months at a time based out of Africa, Thailand, Spain, and Europe. I need to see those places!
Hopefully this will give me more life experience and contribute to my success in the RCMP. It's truly what I want to do, but I need to put that goal on hold for a while and do what my heart is telling me, "Go see the world while you can."
I am excited of the possibility of having a few friends travel with me which would make the experience even better. We'll see what happens:) Either way, it's going to be an amazing experience, wish I could start tomorrow!
That's all for now. Next time I post, I'll be a year older!
Ciao!

The new age is nearing.

So, as I sit here 2 days away from my birthday, I am really thinking hard about the future. I have decided to join the RCMP (hopefully, if they want me) but I am not so sure I want to jump into it once I am finished my contract here in another year.
Yesterday, I really thought about what I truly wanted to do before I settle down into a lifelong career...or do I start that now? No, I've decided I want to travel. I want to spend a year in Korea teaching English, after that year, I want to travel all over, Thailand, Africa, Spain, and parts of Europe for another year.
I just feel that if I enroll in the RCMP right now, I may not get a chance to travel. It's truly what I want to do, see the world and help other people. It's in me. I want to see all this before I have to settle down and commit to something for the rest of my life. I know I am making the right decision, I want to travel.
So yeah, that's where I'm at. I am putting the RCMP on hold, not away, just on hold. There's too much for me to see out there to start my career now. So I've decided.
The funny thing is, the picture I have posted, taken 23 years ago, 2 days after I was born. I know your thinkin, sweet faux-hawk, I know, I styled it myself! Can you believe it, where does the time go. The big 2-3. Another year gone, another one started.
What do you think? I need some input on this whole travelling idea!

The weekend is in sight!

It seems that everytime Friday nears, it's like a big relief because I know where there's a couple of days where I get to relax and take the time I need for myself coming up! Although I am on call this weekend, I am hoping that it will be a fairly quiet one, knock on wood!

I don't have much planned for the weekend, it's been a long week or so it seems, so I am going to plan to do nothing! I am excited for tonight, I am playing hockey with a bunch of friends which will be great. Hockey to me is like self medication. I step on the ice, and I have no cares in the world, it's a safe place for me, a place to relax and do what I love the most.

Christmas is nearing, students are starting to prep for exams that may be coming faster than they know. I will be heading home the 20th, and returning on the 5th, so I have a nice break there with time to visit with and spend time with family. Christmas makes me nervous, I think mostly around the gift buying! It's a stressful time I agree, just not knowing what to get! But all in all, it always works out in the end!

Anyways, that's my rant for the day. I'm sure I'll have something more to say tomorrow!
Ciao.

Just another day...

Well, as you can see I haven't been good at keeping this updated, since I only posted 2 times and both were in early August! But, I'm going to try my best from now on to let people know what's going on!

It's been a pretty busy couple of months. Work is really busy but I love it. I was nervous to find out if this really was for me, but I feel I made the best decision to take this job, I'm comfortable with it and I'm really enjoying it.

I enojy being back at St.FX but I still find it weird that I am not able to see all my friends on a daily basis. It's weird for me to see people going to class and doing school work, and me not having any to do. It's weird being a big kid!

I am writing my RCMP tests in less than 2 weeks, feeling rather nervous but I know that's natural. I just am one who needs to study and have books in front of mebefore I write. So, to go in to this without anything to study is weird, keep your fingers crossed. It's also a wicked birthday gift...that's right, I'm writing exams on my birthday, so exciting!

I spent this past week in Halifax for 4 days, and then Cape Breton for 2. I love visiting both places, but it reminds me as well how much I am missing the West Coast. Whether I decide to go Military or RCMP, I know I want my posting to be on the WC! I fell in love with it this past May and wanted to stay ever since! Hopefully within the next 16 months, I will be on the way!

Anyways, I must leave you with this for this evening. I will update again soon! I promise! I miss all you I don't get to talk to on a regular basis. God Bless, Ciao.
