Swept Up in the Current
I don't update enough. It seems since I've been back I'm losing myself in the current of this Vancouver lifestyle. Or maybe it's that I'm too busy with my job, finding a place to live, and tying up loose ends (still) that I don't have alone time, where I can just think about thinking. I miss that, and hopefully I'll have more 'hermit time' soon.
What's been up? On the weekend, a friend had a traumatic accident. It was a shock to all of us, and a test of my emotions. I wonder how I would have felt if it hit just a bit closer to home. No, I'd rather not tempt the fates.
School is about to start, and I'm so unconcerned about it that I should feel concerned. I mean, I still need to sign up for one more class, and I have no idea what to take. And will I even get into the school mood (mode)? I'm looking forward to learning again though, getting into that feeling that I'm doing something worthwhile. It'll take me out of this rut of working with neanderthals.
My new place of residence: haven't even moved in yet, and still seems unreal. I can't wait to live close to downtown, but I'm not expecting it to be a remake of living in Australia. It would be nice to hang out in a new atmosphere, take in some new people. Add to my experiences in life, and all that.
My job is going ok, even though most days I tell myself I'm quitting soon. It's kinda comforting to know that I can walk off at any time and not care. What a stress relief, but that doesn't make the work any more enjoyable. I just feel like I'm wasting time, not working at a job that's part of my career. But, those student loans aren't going to pay back themselves. I guess I'll stick it out as long as I can, but hopefully another job will come along where I can have fun, maybe in a bar downtown.
What am I doing now? It's going to be a rush to get this done by next week: start school, move in, student loans, settle my exchange classes and make sure I'll grad this year, and several other matters. Will it all come together? We'll see.
