where am I going?

This question has been a constant thought on my mind these days. Amongst this hectic time of finishing up my undergrad, this unknown seems to occupy my mind the majority of the time. I have dreamed of living in Tofino for three years, and I've finally decided it's time to make this a reality. If your dreams don't scare you there not big enough right? I have been applying to jobs everyday, and have wonderful people helping me find my way. This time although stressful has already taught me so much. 

Specifically three major realizations: 
1. build happiness on the foundation of your own character 
2. there are things in life out of your control, don't waste your time chasing this fact
3. surround yourself with wonderful things/people and your life will in-turn be wonderful- its just that simple. 

It seems everyday I apply to jobs, hoping something good will come my way. I have had a lot of promising applications, and I believe I've entered the waiting game, well see. As for my living situation, I have responded to some ads and put one out there myself in hopes of finding something. I am told your best bet in Tofino is to go out there and hit the pavement and good things will come your way. 

Good news tho! A couple weeks ago I sent out emails to the local school principals in Tofino and Uce, I got a response yesterday, with a principal volunteering to be my proctor! woohoo! one more thing to strike off the list! 

Something else to celebrate: an ASIST workshop (suicide prevention training) that I've been putting together for the better part of this school year is a go! woohoo! I'm so happy that there has been a passionate group of individual's emerge with interest in participating!

I will try my best to keep up this blog as things come my way... I think a couple people may remember the one hit wonder of my last travel blog... this one will hopefully have a longer lifespan! Fingers crossed.
