Postcards and Planning
Remember how I said that I was sending some postcards from the Dominican Republic? Well, I bought the postcards, wrote the postcards, then gave them to my parents to send, as I was leaving and they were staying an extra week. Well, the got home on Tuesday, and I find out now that they didn't send them, because postage was cheaper to send them from here. ::boggle:: Honestly? That's the point of a postcard.
And tomorrow, I'm heading to Ottawa for a week to go to a conference with the organization that I didn't get that internship with. Last Friday our chapter had a "pre-conference pow-wow" where we talked about our goals for the conference. The first one that popped into my head was "proove to the National Office that they should have picked me." Horibbly selfish and not at all the point of the conference, I know, but there's that little voice that keeps saying, "I am good enough." So I'm going to be on my best behaviour, go above what I can do, and really try to shine.
And since I'll be in my nation's lovely capitol, I'm going to be sending out postcards again. If I don't have your address, email me, and I'll send one your way. I love sending / getting postcards.
I haven't really been around as much as I'd like to be, and I see that quite a few of my friends are suffering. Even if I'm not commenting, I am sending you BIG hugs, and am really, really wishing you good thoughts. I really hope everyone's lives start getting easier soon.
I'm off, then, until Sunday, at which point I will be back in the full swing of things, and actually read some fanfic again. Because I haven't read anything since... before I went to DR, that's for sure. I want to read fanfic!
Shit, I totally have to finish post my bubblefic. Which is already late.
