big gulp. sweaty palms. nervous pacing.
-it's time to book my ticket west.
It's a magical thing when something you've greatly anticipated comes to the point of actually happening. I have packed my up my belongings at my parents house as well as my apartment at school to the point of having bare essentials left for these last few weeks. I have stayed committed to getting rid of a ton of stuff, garbage bags upon bags to the donation bin. That piece of clothing I loved but never wore- gone! The sentimental note from my high school days gone! knick knacks- how the heck do we wind up with so much- pretty well gone! And to be honest I'm feeling good about it all. This past summer taught me how little we need to live when it comes to material belongings and how happy we can become because of it. In packing up, I have made it a goal to greatly reduce my material possessions to things I use and can use as I take my steps forward.
In keeping up with Tofino progress- I have re-applied to a lot of places and was lucky enough to hear back from a place last week! Fingers crossed, I should have an interview in the coming days.. this place would enable me a full time job and a place to stay... solutions to very big unknowns of my Tofino dream right now...
Also a couple weeks ago, I found out about an educational society that exists on the rain-coast. They have 2 internship opportunities to tour school groups and tourists through the natural surroundings... this opportunity is extremely tempting and I'm thinking I'll apply when the job opens up.
The weekend of suicide first aid training went off with few hitches and we can now say there are 17 more individuals equipped and ready to talk about the issue of suicide!
This week will be a blur no doubt, an exam and a big paper... perhaps giving me a bigger reason to have a big gulp. sweaty palms and nervous pacing but for some reason these things never have quite the same effect

- a desire to travel to understand ones very existence.
