Day 2 in Calgary.
Today, I went to the university of Calgary. Now, to most tourists, that idea would be questioned. However, as I am and have been hovering between future decisions, it makes sense. I mean, even before I got laid off, my future was written on the walls. Yes, there was job searching but another option of school. I make a great researcher and more education would help that. My drive and motivation wasn't there though. I asked myself whether I wanted to increase my debt when inside the idea didn't show much enthusiasm. The website didn't do much but maybe in person, at the college itself, there'd be some.
I can now say that I won't go that route. I mean, maybe later in the future, it's an option but there no reason, no push for school now. I feel I have to be a working adult. A part of me is disappointed because it's a convenient way to hide from job searching, financial worries. I loved the ignorance that came not thinking or knowing those feelings. Mostly though, I'm glad as I know I'd never succeed if I did so. Granted, if it was the college I really wanted to go to I might feel differently but as much as I believe Calgary is a place I could live, the job and company that will make it happen is more important than the location.
I know, I'm probably the worst tourist out there. I came all this way just to do one small errand per day and come back and relax but I don't have the money to spend and future worries are heavy. Then again, maybe Calgary isn't the best place for a vacation on "what to do".
