Countdowns

March 10, 2010

Sometimes, like right now, when all my responsibilities (mostly school) are really stressing me out, I like to think about the great things that are coming up in my life.
Ya, ya, I know, I know. Live in the moment. Blah, blah, blah.
But would life be any fun if we didn’t have anything to look forward [...]

The Monday Meeting: Focusing your job search

March 2, 2010

Well, March is upon us (I almost can’t believe it) and for a lot of senior college students the pressure to find a job is building and building.
I saw a line on Ms. Career Girl the other day that was very interesting.
Nicole Crimaldi, the writer and editor of Ms. Career Girl said:
Lack of focus in [...]

Dear People who keep telling me to “enjoy it”…

February 11, 2010

Dear, people who keep telling me to “enjoy” my last year of school
I know where you’re coming from, I really do. I get that the “real” world (as opposed to this fake one I’m living in) is a lot tougher then it seems to be. I get that you miss college.
A lot of people keep [...]

Taking a look forward

February 4, 2010

Whew!!
Yesterday’s discussion was intense. There were some great conversation and comments happening though. It actually ended up going a little bit more into religion then I meant it to.
I have a post about religion and what I believe brewing around in my head, I just need to find the time to put it down into [...]

I’m a homebody

December 3, 2009

Sometimes I feel like being a homebody is a crime.
As many of you know, I’m in my last year of university right now and recently I’ve been reading lots of blog posts of people who are not in university anymore writing about how much they miss it and people should live it up and enjoy [...]

Friday Five

October 30, 2009

One.
Tomorrow is halloween. I’m not a big fan of halloween but all my friends are going to the bar and I don’t want to miss out in the fun so I’m joining them. Rather than spending $50 on a costume I am shamelessly stealing the ‘Zombie Runner’ idea from Morgan. $2.50 spent on fake blood [...]

Balancing Act

October 6, 2009

I’ve had a few people, both in blogland and real-land, ask me how I balance all of my commitments. So I thought I would address it in a blog post (warning, this is a LONG post). Currently, I am balancing a full-time course load, two part-time jobs, a bit of freelance work on the side, [...]

School IS hard

September 23, 2009

When I went back to my old job for 2.5 weeks in April, my old boss kind of laughed at me and my colleague and said that “we had it easy since we were still in school - wait till we get into the working world”.
You know, it’s always really bothered me when people say [...]

Lonely Night

September 16, 2009

I was feeling great. I wasn’t having too many lonliness pangs, life was busy, I was busy, I was talking to Eric several times a day, missing him; but not too much. Things were good.
Then last night I fell apart.
Maybe it was the 10-hour long day, yes, I was at school (in classes and meetings) [...]
