O man it's been so long since I last wrote here...over a yr!A lot has happened in a year....wow! Now I am pursuing a career in the financial industry as well as health care. I am passionate about both... and people go "u can't have both...u have to choose one" I say "who says I can't have both? Of course I can...why limit yourself?"
I never would have thought of being able to have a career in finance without sacrificing another 2-3 yrs of my life sitting in class and spending lots of $$$$$
The Canadian dollar had passed the US dollar!!! WOOHOO! Go Canada!!!
Thank God I didn't invest in US Dollar.
Now I better study some more... have to do another exam in 2 weeks
cheerio

Update about me... haven't posted nothing in months!Last post was about me being anxious... trying to figure out what I wanted to do with life after school... and just the next step... A few weeks after I started my co-op at the seniors' home, I applied for a job posting and I got hired...yay! I felt truly blessed.
Well, now I have found what I love doing and get paid for it... working full time with seniors who have dementia (Alzheimer's, parkinsons, picks, huntington's, etc) and I really really LOVE it. Gosh, being debt free after graduation really helps with the anxiety... cuz then u're not so rushed to find a fulltime job to pay off debt... and u can sleep well at night.
I love being super busy everyday... today was an exception... and when I'm not, I'm either sleeping or reading or on the internet. Life is great...can't complain.
Next month is gonna be my graduation convocation... I don't really wanna go, but my parents do... and so we're going... I'd rather just get my piece of paper sent to me by mail... n then there's the grad pics... I hate my graduation pictures... but I ordered prints anyway cuz it's one of the many unpleasant memories of university... to remind me to never go back LOL
I prefer college... more hands-on and useful.
So anyways, my back is hurting, which is an indication that I've been in front of the computer too long. I'm going to bed...

Happy New Year everyone...I hope the year 2006 brings joy, peace, and happiness...
I haven't yet come up with new year resolutions... I've been too happy.
It feels sooo good to be done university... I feel very light n free
And it feels great to be able to live my life with no deadlines haunting me... now I can read whatever I want, whenever I want, and however I want... yipeeee!
Now it's just work, work, work, and college is done in 1 week... oh, and there's the co-op I have to do... don't know when I'm starting.
*sigh of relief* Now I'm gonna sleep... and dream sweet dreams.

Some ReflectionsLast Thursday I went to the university website for students to check if the request for graduation had been processed or not. And it has! So I finally clicked that golden button "yes" for intention to graduate...
"You indicated earlier that you intend to graduate at the June 2006 Convocation."
YAYYY... it was soooo exciting n memorable, I was thinking of replaying it in my mind over n over again forever... so I'll remember what it's like forever... so the next time I think of going back to school, I'll be like "no no no... never again!"
I was so excited n happy... *sigh*
And then come the reflecting part... the fear and the anxiety and the worry... pretty much the negative emotions n self-doubt... "what if I don't make something out of myself?" "What if I don't get the job I want?" "what if I can't achieve my goals?" n so on n so forth
And then I talked to other ppl...and turns out we pretty much have the same worries n doubts... n then spoke to a middle-aged guy at work... n he said not to worry, that everyone will find their own path n stuff like that... nothin new, but it's comforting all the same
Then someone mentioned that a lot of people were actually thinking of going back to school or college... just because educational institutions are like a safety blanket... they feel safe knowing what they'll be doing the next day, they're busy with school work n stuff... they're happy to graduate, but they also don't want to graduate because they'll lose that security...
That's why survey shows that a lot more people are going to higher education, but only few actually graduated...
I don't like the idea of hiding behind educational institutions... because what are you gonna do when you're done all that? keep studying until u retire? no way! And... u'll be stuck with too much debt! Then how are you gonna feel good about life? u'll spend the rest of ur remaining years paying off debt... I ain't doin that... that's the main reason I keep my job while going to school... so I don't have any debt when I graduate... and I've achieved that goal... so I guess I'm a step ahead of the game... I'm at least $20,000 ahead of most people... Phew! So I guess I should feel better about myself...
So for now, I gotta get these 3 essays done so that I can party after that... well, not really... I have 3 final exams which won't be done until Dec 20... then what? Then I can work work n work... n have the freedom to do whatever I want n not worry about doing my readings or essays... yayyyyy...
But u know what's funny? I actually enjoy learning n reading THICK books if I know that no professors will test me on my knowledge and if I know that I'm doing it to add to my knowledge and not for the stupid GPA or grade... cuz I resent the fact that my GPA tells me how smart I am n shit... that's just bull! bunch of numbers... pfft! I know a lot of people who have low GPA's but they're super smart... anyways, enuff anger towards stupid educational institutions... that's just the way it is... n we gotta follow the rules of the game... or we'll lose
Soooooo... back to my boring life (the lack of life,I should say)... 2 more weeks!!! yayyyy!!! If any of you readers are worried about the same things I'm worried about... u're not alone... fight those negative thinking away... think positive n do something about it. And I wish us all the best...

Recently I've been so tired and frustrated... but at the same time excited because schools nearly come to an end... it's scary too, because then I have to start facing the real world... I cannot hide behind educational institutions anymore... I have to start planning for my future...The pressure is just a bit much sometimes that me n my friends would get together and just talk about life... about what we wanna do with our lives... what our dreams and goals are...
Enak juga ternyata kumpul2 n just talk about nothing in particular... joke around... be stupid... relieves the tension... trus pulang n back to living our own lives again... yg gak sekolah juga stress lho ternyata... stress krn mereka merasa belon achieve apa2... banyak utang...n banyak worries... different kinds of worries n stress... but stress all the same...
Emang susah ya utk dingertiin... kalo gak ngalamin hal yg sama... apalagi buat yg udah kerja dibidangnya n udah achieve banyak... biasanya anggap org2 laen yg lebih muda kurang pengalaman n just plain silly... karena gak bisa liat point of view nya org laen
Misalnya ngobrolin ttg kalo liburan maunya kemana... trus semua setuju n mau ikutan... tp kan belon tentu akan dijalanin... it's hypothetical... it's just for fun... apalagi gw... yg dr dulu pengennya ke Jepang tp belon kesampean... semua yg kenal gw rasanya tau bgt dah kalo dulu tuh gw obssessed ttg Jpg... sekarang dah gak gitu sih... tp kan tetep aja ada that longing dalam diri gw utk kesana... lagian kan emang gw kan demen travel n ke tempat2 baru... hehehehe... adventure...
Tp gw juga tau lah kalo hidup tuh gak selalu senang2... malah banyak susahnya aje... susah2 dulu, senang2 nanti... tp sampe kapan mau susah2 n stress2 mulu? sampe pensiun? tak usah ya... hidup utk di enjoy... Kerja mati2an utk apa... kalo sekarang sih ada tujuan... utk move out n mandiri... n itu prioritas gw... semua yg kenal gw rasanya tau dah soal itu... n walaupun gw suka bawel2 pengen go on vacation somewhere n blablabla, tetep aja pada tau kalo prioritas gw ya tetep...
Rasanya kecewa aja kalo org yg gw harapkan utk tau a lot more about myself trus ternyata gak ngerti... *sigh* gak bisa jelasin jg gue...
Kayaknya mendingan gw selesaiin essay gw deh ye... ntar malem gw Trick or Treating sama Fifi n my li'l sista n Fifi's fren n her li'l sista... n then maybe ngobrol2 bentar ma temen2 kerja...
I really need all the support I can get... especially in the next 2 weeks... I have to do my citizenship test in 2 weeks... n then all my major essays and projects are due... n then finals exams comin up in 4 weeks... I just wanna explode! God help me please...
