Summer come and gone~

Wow, I haven’t blogged in YEARS! lol Thanks to Sel for posting a link from her blog to mine, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have the incentive to blog today.. hahah

I just re-read my previous blog, it’s been 8 months since I last wrote something in here…WHEW where has the time gone??  So much has happened in the past 8 months… And I CANNOT believe how fast the past few months have come and gone.  A few milestones worthy of mentioning:

Graduation 2010 – Convocation… FINALLY! After 6.5 years of hardcoreness, 4.5 semesters of school, and almost 2 years of work experience later… I finally got my expensive piece of paper!!! lol Totally worth all the sleepless nights, the long days, and the many, many moments where I wondered whether or not I’ve gone crazy yet. lol

Walking across the graduation stage in heels – my 15 secs of fame as my loved ones screamed in the background. hehe But I did it, I walked across the stage in high heels, and in none other than my lovely bootiful heels that I bought right before I injured myself.

I landed a 6 month job with the government -Challenging at times, but I’m learning a lot and gaining the coveted work experience necessary for all new grads!  But the tough moments only make me stronger – so thank you for being horrible.  I’m learning to stand up for myself.  When injustice is done, you need to speak up for yourself because no one else is going to.  A sometimes draining, tedious and soul sucking environment, I’m learning to deal.

I started to pay back my student loans – Graduating with so much debt is one of those really nerve-wracking things… but with the help of my sister, I started to learn to budget earlier this year, and I’ve managed to pay off a good chunk of my student loans so far.  So, I’m VERY proud and excited to learn that! Money use to always elude me, the concept of money was too abstract for me to grasp before… but my sister and I sat down, and she helped to make money more concrete a concept for me, so now, I FINALLY GET IT! LOL

I’ve decided to embark on a new journey in my life - I decided recently that I need a change, very badly.  So, in the next few months, I’m going to work really hard, save really hard, and I’m going to make a few more of my dreams come true.. lol That part will be To Be Continued…   My loved ones know what I’m talking about.. hehe The rest of you (whomever else has a link to the blog), will have to wait… heheheh

Anyways, time to get back to chilling out on my awesome sunday, practice some French for my practice exam on Tuesday (and then the final exam on Sept 7th), and play on my wii! lol

Take care and thanks for tuning in!
