3 years later...

It's funny how I stumbled upon my old blog as I was on my old iMac...I started to read the last two posts I had written:
1. I babble a lot.
2. ...I babble a lot.

But it was kinda refreshing remembering how I used to write a lot. In the past 3 years, I haven't done much "blogumentation". (gross. did I just say that?)
Anyways, it's interesting that the second last post was about my "post-uni" life and how it was time to make some decisions about what I was going to do...then it ended with the question :

"I think Korea might be a good start...anyone agree?"

No one actually commented on my post (as per usual)...so no one ACTUALLY agreed. Nevertheless, I ended up in Korea, the following fall, and have been there for the last 3 years.

It's so crazy how time flies by. I've worked various jobs (teaching, photography, radio, events...), had an almost-3-year relationship (which ended a few months ago), took a Korean Language Program for a semester, been to Thailand, Cambodia, and Bali....met some AMAZING people along the way, learned how to be independent (sort of), and paid off some student loans.

Not too bad.

Although, I still don't really know what I'm going to be doing in the future (career wise)..but I guess we'll have to wait another 3 years for that update?

*no idea why half of this ended up a giant font...and I can't change it back.

But, pleaseeeeee?

www.kijiji.ca is my new time waster. except most of the time it leaves me feeling really sad that i can't get a sweet little puppy like this Yorkipoo. although, i have been tempted to just get one anyways. but i'm sure the roommates wouldn't be too happy...and if i want to travel, it's not really fair to the puppy.

mike is the one that showed me this site so he is the one responsible for my puppy yearnings. and he is the one that has to be stern with me everytime i almost succumb to these adorable little creatures. i beg and plead but then am brought back to reality.

le sigh. i must just adore them from afar for now.

but one day, i WILL have my very own yorkie, or any cute adorable puppy....and mike can get his big husky (still very cute as pups)....it can be like the brains and the braun... :)

See The World

It seems that everytime I am back in New Liskeard, with nothing to do, I remember that I have this blog that I have failed to keep updated during my oh-so-busy school year. A year or two ago, blogs were my go-to time waster. But Facebook has since replaced them, which is the reason for my lack of attention for my own blog.
But with the recent perusing of some of the (more updated) blogs I once checked regularly, I thought, even though probably nobody even reads my blog anymore, I'm going to update it anyways.

So, I am officially a Western Alum (as I've already received the Alumni magazine in the mail). They don't waste any time. It's definitely a weird feeling, I feel like 4 years just flew by. I don't think it's really sunk in yet that I won't be returning to campus come September...especially as I start thinking about future plans, it's hard to believe that it doesn't involve a soph team, O-week, midterms, bad diets, all nighters, and no exercise. As much as it is a scary thought, I'm really excited. I had plans to attend Fanshawe College come September for Broadcast TV News Post Grad program but as I thought about it more, I am just not ready for more school yet. I want to travel...and I feel as though this is my opportunity to. Thus, I have concluded (I think) that I will work full-time for a year in London, then possibly go to Korea to teach English the following year. A friend says, you make very good money and it's definitely worth the experience. Then after that, maybe a little time to just travel around Europe.

I think it'll be nice to be in the limbo before I get into the real world. Just to be free and travel and not be commited to a REAL job yet. I'm 21, still got a lot of time until I am ready for that. Although, the idea of a real job with a real salary and after a few years of paying off OSAP, a real disposable income, sounds delightful as well.

I'm starting to see that the end of my time at Western (as cliche as it is) is really just the beginning of my journey.
