-Lost in the woods-
______________

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I feel like I want to fly in 8 million directions at once. 2 years of crap, then a bouquet of choices and opportunities thrown at me all at once. In the space of a week. I've just got to figure out which ones to grab and hold on to and hope for the best, and which ones to let fall and forget about.

End of March blog blah

I really don't have much to write about. Nothing seems to change too awful fast in my little realm. Hopefully that will get moving soon though. At least I'm going out slightly more often than I used to. I keep getting these obscure opportunities that land in my lap, or close enough to it that I try to latch on and hold on to for dear life. The whole strike thing doesn't affect me as much as it is others, but it adds a nasty little unsettling flavor to the mix, like: how much time have I wasted going to class if I'm not going to get anything out of it, or: should I be studying like a mad little person trying to cram it all in to write some exam that will be weighted differently because of what things out of my control have influenced? I'm not picking sides here, but really, the students and their futures are being held hostage as a quickly growing cranky bargaining chip, and I'm not so cool with that.
Hopefully someone in high places with money to burn will take pity on me and hire me soon, or it's off Island I go. That's not where I wanted to go. I have become complacent with a position that was just meant to tide me over till the better thing happened. I'd like the better thing now please. I'm keen and enthusiastic for it, somehow, I can make it happen. No one else will do it for me.

Feeling a bit better now. Once I realize that I just should not use money for food or clothes, it makes it a little easier. Money's for taxes silly rabbit!

There are days when I just want to put everything down, pack a kitbag with an extra pair of jeans, a hoodie and extra socks, and just leave. Screw money, screw debt, screw responsibility, screw comfort zone, screw the shitty little pot hole that I've somehow landed in. I can't catch a break no matter how hard I try, I just keep getting shot down, ass backwards over a flight of stairs at the same time. I know eventually things will turn around for the better, and that where I am right now could always be a shitload worse. I'm just getting sick of waiting for that lovely little window of oportunity to pop up so I can crack it open and escape.

Some days are far, far more depressing than others.

Hey everybody! Happy b-day to those who've got them, and happy st. Paddies day for those that are irish, or feel that they must drink to honor those who are. I was super keen, it was going to be the first St. Patricks day I had off in about 4 years. Alas, I work. Till 12:30, and I feel that any attempts to find people and catch up by that time would result in copious quantities of green puke, and a miserable time to follow. So instead, I have Saturday and Sunday off. WHAT?!? That's right folks, two days off in a row!! This may be the first time in about a year that it's happened, and almost assuredly the first time those two days have been on the weekend. I have all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. I may implode with the possibilities. It frightens me. It frightens me with the realization that I haven't a plan in the world for the whole day on Saturday as well. Barring the whole sleep off of St. Patrics Day the next morning, people should make a plan! It should be warm but a little snowy, and there are markets to visit, people to see, and things to do! Anyone interested or already holding in their brains the formation of a plan should let me know, it's almost spring, and I'd hate for the day to go to waste.

Yay, post # 400!!

It's been so long since I started writting in this blog. I was but a wee fresh faced university kid back then. Ah, to reminiss. There were one whole hell of a lot more adventures then, more alcohol, and more running around the campus at night. Now, I'm looking forward to a canoe adventure in 4 months. At least I'm planning ahead.

My latest waste of time has been to watch the entire firefly show, as well as the movie Serenity. They cancelled the show after one season, so there weren't too many shows to watch, but it was kind of cute, in a corney western/sci-fi way. It reminds me of shows I used to watch growing up. Ah Joss, you do know how to make a show riddled with angst. Did anyone else watch this show, or was it just another weird thing that only I paid attention to? Somedays, I think I really am a geek.

~ I have a neverending song inside my head ~

Hello March, goodbye February. I don't think that month could have gone any worse. It can only get better from here right? The month ended with my fav prof telling me to pack up and move to northern Alberta to study caribou, the van's headlight and fan system going kaput, and my favorite fish dying. Nothing else is allowed to die or break, and I'm not packing up and leaving the province any time too soon. I did get employee of the month (again), but they'll now be taxing me on my incentive won from that. Ya just can't win.

I had high hopes for Saturday night, but alas, all to no avail, I'll be working again, the eightybillionith saturday night in a row. At least it reminds me of my goal, get a job where I have weekends off. A real, 9-5 ish, weekends and holidays off job. I could have both Christmas and new years off, and not feel horribly guilty for getting it. A job outside of the service industry. I've only had one so far in my life, and it's whetted my appetite for more.

At least gas didn't go up today. *end pity party for one*
