Refresh
I find that blogging is just getting harder and harder - I guess it's because I'm not a journal person to start off with. However, it is a nice way of remembering fond memories and moments that God has blessed me with. SOoooo, I just wanted to update this sporadic journal with some key highlights:
*Passed the CSC (Praise God!) It was hard toughing it out for 7 straight long months studying and working at the same time but it turned out alright in the end. I guess my only regret is feeling that there was a lot of sacrifices that were made for this certificate when ironically I don't necessarily need it for my current job. It's alright though, maybe I'll need it in the future but regardless it's nice to put on a resume.
*Awaiting interviews with my church's Youth Pastor to see how feasible becoming a highschool counselor starting September will be. Really excited. I volunteered to help teach a Sunday school series on preparing highschool graduates for university life. Brings back a lot of fond memories.
*Weddings galore - lots of close friends got married in the month of July. I'm really happy for them all - I just can't believe they're married. I guess weddings just kind of creep up on you like that. You know it's coming for you when your friends around you are starting to get married :)
*The new job has been amazing. I'm still trying to understand the ropes but I think I'm doing relatively well after 2 months. I love the fact that I wake up everyday not dreading to go to work. It's a very flexible environment and they've been really taking care of me since I started. The people I work with are great and I see room for amazing changes in the near future.
*Finally got around to getting some new furniture for my room. It's probably the first time buying new furniture in the last 15 years - gives you a picture of how old the furniture in my room is. The last week was spent taking apart and moving out the old furniture while moving in the new furniture and putting it together (yes the furniture is from Ikea).
Life is moving along at a much less stressful pace (which I'm very thankful for). I guess it's time to start thinking and planning ahead from here. Life is so much more broader after university - I've spoken about this point before but it still never ceases to amaze me to realize this over and over again. I appreciate work, my involvment in church, catching up on movies, reading a good book from time to time, and catching up with old friends in Toronto. For those old friends who happen to stumble upon this site, are done school and are back in Toronto, I'm looking for all of you.
