And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all

So I have been trying to get things together. I start my PSW class today and I will be doing that for the next 28 weeks from 6-10pm plus my clinical placement time. So I will be being kept pretty busy I think. The first topic I am learning about is Individuality of the Person. I got my nursing shoes today..they are not great looking but they are New Balance running shoes and well I have a special place in my heart for new Balance running shoes..i have a pair that I have had for years through my time in the Dominican Republic til my time in china :P and they are in amazing condition and I love them ahha :)

I also went to Chapters and got a Mandarin basic course set so I am going to be working on that a little every day. Hopefully I will be able to catch on quick :).

There is a lot I miss about China..well mainly the people and I miss all the memories. I am already feeling the itch to travel again...I wonder if I will ever stop feeling that. I think the thing is that I love meeting new people, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and creating memories. I just have to keep focus for my next 7 months in school which might be kinda tough for me but I am going to have to try to distract myself as much as possible I suppose. Me and school just do not get along..its weird because I love learning new things but doing the same thing everyday really takes a toll on me so hopefully this provides enough variety in routine for me or I might be a total nut case for the next 7 months and no one wants to deal with me when I am like that haha.
I am still on the job search. I hopefully will find something soon..money always helps haha...especially when your as my Grandma Wagar always calls me a "Dreamer" :P hey yeah of course I am a little unrealistic sometimes but I am young dang it! haha plus if your not going to dream big why bother dreaming at all, thats what I think anyways :P

Nursing..who would have thunk it :P

Hey all!

so its really weird being home but I really am adjusting quickly. I had a week of hanging out with the Marchand's and having fun but now its time to get down to work for me. I went to Everest College and I actually got goosebumps while I was looking around the school...It just felt like I was making the right choice and that I was doing the right thing.I will be taking the Personal Support Worker Program. I will be in school for 29 weeks and then I will be done my PSW training and then I have about 3 months to work and save up for university and I will hopefully be going to the University of Toronto for International Development!! On top of all this I am on the job hunt and really need a full time job! so hopefully I will find one soon!

Yeah so thats the watered down version of an update on my life :P I will try to write more soon!

Headed Home! :)


So I am sitting in the Hong Kong Airport and I am going home!!! I am not feeling so great so I am pretty excited to be at home with my family and back on my side of the planet! :P These last few months have been quite the adventure though and I have learned a lot not only about the world but about myself.
