First, I need to quote Jurassic Park. Because I can.
Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaur. God destroys dinosaur. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaur.
Eli: Dinosaur eats man. Women inherits the Earth."
Next.
I havn't had a real update in a while, about myself anyways, which is what a journal is supposed to be about. So being that I'm out and gone from Vancouver, British Columbia in less than two weeks and for a long time I thought I should wrap up my life a little.
Basically since September my year has been pretty predictable. I switched majors and faculties so I had to get a bunch of pre-reqs knocked off again, so that part was terrible. The good part is I've been killing the classes. But man my brain just hasn't been challenged this year.
I feel like this semester has gone by in a month's time but so it goes. Had 5 classes and worked three times a week at a restaurant downtown. Job was cool, Greek place owned by greek folk. I ended up working with some really cool people and some really strange people. I also ended up getting high and watching Borat with 2 of my bosses and getting really drunk and dancing to Cafe del Mar with the other one. Life's a funny ride.
As usual I'm more stressed than I have to be. I always seem to feel stuck in Van when it starts raining and it gets dark at 4:30pm. I love a lot about this city, the politics, the unbelievable natural beauty, my friends are fantastic, just a cool place basically. But not having enough time to spend with people has ruined multiple things for me, friends and girlfriends alike, so that's something to work on. Do...less.
I have, however, solidified what I'm studying and I'm on the path to doing some cool shit. I finally declared my emphases. Global Resource Systems: Water Security and Microfinance. So that's permanent for the moment. (the only constant is change though) but I don't think I'll be changing anything too soon.
Things learned about myself this year. I dominate conversations too much, I needa learn how to shut up more. Watch and listen. Two. I like Irish accents. My love of hip-hop is deep. Money is hard to hold on to.
Ok, I lost my train and motivation. Basically, I'm going to miss this place for a lot of reasons but I'm more ready than ever to leave. I'll be back I guess. It's time to go spend some time with my grandmom before she's gone. Wonderful lady.
I feel like going to Chile is going to be really good for me. I just have all this positivity pointed south. Can't wait.
I will leave you with Gangstarr.
Actions have reactions
don't be quick to judge
you may not know the hardships people don't speak of
it's best to step back
and observe with couthe
for we all must meet our moment of truth
sometimes you gotta dig deep
when problems get near
don't fear, things get severe for everybody everywhere
why do bad things happen to good people?
seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
They say its lonely at the top at whatever you do.
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you.
nobody's invincible, no plan is full proof
we all must meet our moment of truth.
intelligent man guru is.
