vacation!
bye bye vancouver! i am hitting the road for 2.5 weeks on thursday. i am very excited.
* 9 days in the americas with my maxine.
* 1 day home (for the vancouver ferret festival!!!)
* 7 days in powell river with jesse.
i got a bursary from the royal canadian legion, $800 towards my next term of school! come rememberance day expect to see me seeking doantions for poppies to support them! this is awesome because school is really expensive, and i am probably not gonna graduate for another year. at least i really love school, and my program. i have made three really great new friends through school, which is rad. i have never been one to have a lot of friends. i find too much socialing exhausting.
i was attending the UBC anxiety clinic for awhile, and making great progress on overcoming my irrational fears/fear of people. but now it is shut down because the liberal government is a bunch of bastards who cut public healthcare funding to free resources. i am feeling a little lost. i have learned to deal with irrational anxiety much better, but i still have a lot fo difficulty with the social anxiety. i just play silent hill homecoming by myself and tell myself that i am doing self therapy. the game scares me so bad that half the time i end up throwing the controller half way across the room!
i have been thinking a lot lately, about the state of the world, the government, the olympics, my moral obligations as a member of the human race. i like to believe that humanity is moving forward, that we are progressing as a race and becoming more peaceful, loving, and tolerent. then i read about the ruby mines in burma, or the kidnapping of girl children in china, or the atrocities commited at my own front door, like the guy who punched his girlfriend in the face outside my living room window the other night, and i have to wonder if i am right. and then i wonder what i can do to make it better. i do a lot, but i don't think it is enough. i just gotta keep doin my best i guess! that's all i can do!
truthfully i am not even sure anyone reads these things anymore. but i like to keep a log of my life, for myself. every now and then i like to look at entries from 5 years ago and laugh. holy crap i was dramatic! life still has it's ups and downs, but i am glad i am much more balanced than i was.
hoe everyone is doing well! as always, if anyone wants coffee/tea/beer you know how to find me!
