Curious weekend..
Have I mentioned that I hate daylight savings? Almost bout as much as I hate 2 feet of surprise snow..it was bout as fun. Found out friday that it was Spring forward saturday night...I then set up two wake up calls as telus is weird in that there is no garantee it will automatically change the time, sometimes you have to power the phone off and back on for it to do it. So...both the hotel and my McManager called me sunday morning at 4 er uh...5. Was not cool...wasn't as tired as I thought I'd be last night so i guess it worked out. Though I did sleep in this morning quite a bit....and had a business function to attend this morning. That wasn't cool..threw on some sorta acceptable business attire and ran out the door...got to the college..and promptly dropped half my bagel on the floor...made me sad. Ah well.
So my mommy brought me dinner last night at the hotel...she called bout 5ish to ask what i was doing...i was like ummm...working? her and kerry were at Wigan Pier...haven't had Wigan Pier in over 6 months...last time i had it, it was also a delivery to the hotel. Tells ya how long ago that was...but it did help to bump the memory somewhat which can be a productive thing.
Anyhoo...food was good...i love that place..i miss it now that i'm in van and not havin it...i've noticed a number of things i've missed whilst bein down here...other than just the people..as that's an obvious thing...but i miss goin out the way i used to...like with a couple friends..to a movie..or to tim horton's..or what not. there's less of that comfortability down here...though..i guess it's all part of leavin a small town. As much as I'm missin hangin out the way I used to, I have been able to let go of a bit of my small town mentality...and learned to bite my tongue on somethings...small town politics...are quite useless in the big picture...not that i never participate in them..as i do..occassionally...but i don't let as much of what used to bother me to still bother me....yeh me..
Other than that...I did go to see the local production of Faulty Towers on friday...my lord was that funny. It was absolutely priceless...and apparently it might be headin up to whistler....maybe they'll continue to practice at the hotel...that would be nice...I'd get to lend out a couple more pencils..which could be good.
So...we've entered into the last week of classes..and i have bout 15 hours of work to do..including a will that i have to write. apparently my Wills and Probate prof thought it'd be fun...he told us to have fun with it...my idea...create a cat.and leave everything to it....anything beyond that would probably be to close to reality...and you know me and murph..I was gonna write it whilst I was at work last night..just to have it done...but then I figured knowin murph, somethin would happen and the courts would spend the next few weeks attempting to locate my nonexistant cat....:P Anyways... (can you tell i'm completely done?)
So 4 more days of class, two finals, and my practicum and i'm officially a secretary....aim high shoot low right? ah well..money's good..and it'll keep me busy...least till i figure out what i really wanna do with my life. Maybe I'll become a liar...er uh...lawyer. Lawyer.
Beyond that..not alot going on. Got a couple months left before i have to decide if i'm moving outta my little hermit hole...thinkin bout movin downtown..but it is crazy expensive down there...not sure i could do it on an admin assistant salary...but we'll see..
I been thinkin lately bout how content i've become with life...i've learned lots bout what my triggers are..and realized that I allow people alot of control over me...some of these people don't need this control or deserve it..thus I am revoking it..it's hard..but is being done. I'm finally taking control over myself and my life rather than just sitting back and letting circumstance or situations control the direction my life takes me...
hope all is well elsewhere.
