See my userpic? That's the face I will be making if you see me. A look of constant pensiveness. A look of "what the hell am I supposed to do now?" I got a gameplan.
Step 1: Work hard and make money. Working hard takes my mind off everything. I'm looking to work quite a bit this summer cause I have to save up for school, not to mention slay a huge beast of a credit card bill.
Step 2: Get a new hobby. I've been jamming on videogames, MSpaint, DVD collecting and learning Japanese for a while now, but I want to try something new and exciting. Something more profound, drastic and/or creative. I have a bunch of things in mind. Once I get through with step 1, I can start exploring new avenues.
Step 3: Go out a lot more. I made it a point in Japan to never refuse an invitiation unless I was convinced it would be a shitty time. I should carry that over into Ottawa as well. There's a lot of stuff that goes down in this city that I don't even know about, and that may be a good time waiting to happen.
Step 4: Travel again. For now, I'll stick with T.O. and MTL, but hopefully in the near future, I can save up my pennies and do another world trek. Once I get my degree, I'm split between continuing my education here and teaching abroad again. Who knows. Depends what happens in the interim.
Step 5: Maybe, kinda, sorta start casually dating again? I dunno, I kind of want to, but really, launching into another relationship will probably put a grinding halt on steps 1-4. I dunno, I'm not adverse to dating or anything, but I'm not going to go and actively seek out a new girlfriend.
Step 6: Start real life. I know my degree won't get me any good job prospects whatsoever, so I'll either consider pursuing a masters (journalism if I feel risky) or taking some graphic design/web design courses at Algonquin. Both will probably lead to a job that pays well enough to sit pretty on. If I do decide to go back overseas, I may even land myself in a comfy spot and stay.
Somewhere in those steps, I can fit in "getting the fuck out of my house for good". It's unbelievable how much living under someone else's roof stifles your success and ambition. I want out!
S'it.
