| So, what's next?

| Things I've done over the past week:
1. Purchased tickets to see Radiohead when they visit Vancouver.
2. Hosted a formal dinner party for roughly 25 people
3. Studied for finals, sort of.
I find it a little odd that in a little over a week I will be a University graduate and be doing nothing with my degree as far as work goes furthering my hesitation to consider myself the professional rather than the student. If it weren't for my plans to continue my education in 18 or so months I would find this revelation fairly if not very troubling but I find comfort in knowing that for a little bit longer (4 years) I can remain the student and continue to avoid the self-imposed pressure of professionalism. I just realized that this post is very much like my previous one, which is probably because this has been on my mind a lot lately. I just need to let it go and deal with the next week one final at a time, and then it will be over with.
Things I plan to do in the next few months:
1. Go hiking
2. Go camping
3. Do some more hiking with camping
4. Ride my bike, a lot
Anyways, I'm done, writing, studying and being awake for that matter. | | |
| Today is March 21, in exactly one month I will be finished my degree and officially be the student of kinesiology no more. A little intimidating, there seems to be so much more I could learn, and obviously there is. What am I doing next you ask? Well, for awhile I was considering joining Bruce and Lydia in South Korea to teach English. I decided that this was counter to what my time away from school was going to be about; being AWAY from school. So instead I enter the workforce of construction as an assistant to a contractor. What is this you ask? Well, it's a lot of things, of which there is no set list of duties or responsibilities. My job is different every week, well, sort of. It's kind of hard to explain. So for those of you who live around here, you'll be seeing a lot of me over the next 16 months in between here and there. Camping anyone? | | |
| It was inevitable, I am now 23. Well, four days ago I made the switch. I've been spending some in reflection lately, trying to make sense of seasons past. I've come to a realization that hindsight is not 20/20. Time and space change perspective, the reality of the circumstances becomes hazy. I think I want to start a photo journal. One where I take a photo of myself and write exactly what is going on at that moment so that no matter how much time and space come between me and that time, I will always remember that moment for what is was, not what it has become.

has it really been nearly 5 years already? another semester approaches all too quickly and I find myself ever so close to the end of this chapter. 5 courses stand between me and my degree. it's a little scary thinking about how after I'm done, i'll no longer be the student but the professional. have i really garnered enough knowledge to stand alone? sometimes i'm not sure. this next year will bring forth a lot of change in my life. finishing school, traveling, and maybe moving half way across the world. change is good. without it we'd never progress, never grow. and still, i find change daunting. maybe it's the unknown that i fear most. either way, it's inevitable, and besides, if nothing changed life would be boring, change=excitement. until later.
