- unknown.
I simply cannot believe how fast time flies. This realization confirms the fact that nothing is forever and that all good things must come to an end.
Today was my last day at Woodview, an alternative placement that I'm doing as part of my teaching program. It has been one of the best experiences of my life, and has definitely awakened my spirit in ways that not too much else has. I was working in a classroom setting counseling high school aged students- AMAZING. Combine this experience with a rad team of counselors & a fourth year Adolescence seminar class and you have most definitely sparked my interest instilling a motivation to continue my education towards pursuing my goal of obtaining my Masters of Social Work.
As for school, I have one formal exam left on the 12th and two take home exams to complete by that time as well. By this coming Thursday at 3, I will be officially completed my winter semester! The heaviest course load I have ever taken on. WOOHOO
The COUNTDOWN is on! 10 days till the big move out west! I am weirdly calm and trying to remain as collected as possible as I finish up school and start to pack up my life.
This past week, I was offered and accepted a job at Cox Bay Beach Resorts! Woohoo. This would be the resort that maintains the surf cam that I am quite religious to in checking/watching live shots nearly every day. It's another housekeeping position, but hey it's a start and a girls gotta start somewhere. In the whirlwind of excitement that accompanied finally accepting a job, it totally slipped past me that they wanted me to start work April 17th... I only get to Vancouver on the 16th... so not cool! I emailed back and negotiated a little bit of a later start date. Plus side full time work earlier then expected, down side- less time with my lovely cous and fam that I have missed SOOOOO much and a pipe dream vaca to Victoria squashed.
I'm really trying to prepare myself for this move better then my last move to the Education Lodge, as I was most likely one of the most clueless towards what I had gotten myself into.. I didn't even bring a flashlight.. This time first thing in the to-be-packed pile is most definitely a flashlight..
Fun Purchase- When I asked my employer things that I should bring but probably wouldn't think of: she replied a good rain coat and gum boots, well ladies and gents I splurged and bought a really nice pair of rain boots. Celebrating surviving a heavy semester I suppose?
And finally, I have to share a super cool cosmic occurrence that literally re-instills my faith in putting things out there in the universe. In an earlier post, I wrote about beach cruiser's and how cool I thought it would be to own one. While, my Uncle G was cleaning out his shed and stumbled across a bike that he had won in a sports tournament years ago. He asked my Dad, if he knew anyone who could make use of it. Well it just so happens, this girl's dream came true.
