Futurocity
I know what life has in store for me for the next two weeks. After that, everything is up in the air.
Okay, maybe not everything. But most of the major pieces of the puzzle are still missing. On Friday June 13th, I fly home. As a side note, I am flying on British Airways, and I am going through Heathrow. I don't know if you heard on the news about the trouble they had with their new terminal (they lost something like 5,000 pieces of luggage in a weekend) and had delayed fully opening it until June. I don't know when in June, but pray that my luggage and my plane stay fairly well connected the entire way home.
From there I fly into Calgary for an hour or two, and then back to Regina where I will
And that is the extent of my knowledge. I am drawing a complete blank when it comes to plans...no, not plans, but even ideas for what to do. I just have no desires or interests right now. I feel like I am at a different place in my life, jobwise and just lifewise (I don't even care if that is a word), but I don't know what that place is. And it is hard to figure that out from here.
Most people who come here have a bit more of an idea or plan for where their life is going, and even those who don't generally have more time to think about leaving and what needs to be done when they go home. It is amazingly hard to leave this place and to think about life away from here because the school and the dorm completely fill your life, leaving not much room for much else. But the decision for me to leave was made in February, which sounds to you, I imagine, like a good deal of time, but it really isn't. There are so many emotional attachments and so much pulling on your time and energy that it really hasn't been a great deal of time. It has only been in the past few weeks that I have fully come to accept the thought of not returning, let alone actually coming up with plans for what to do when I am gone.
I am going to miss this place - it has been good to me, even if it has also been very hard. I'm okay with that.
I may have overstated my lack of ideas before. I have some vague notions, but only very vague. I am going to spend a week or two recovering in Regina, but I want to move back to Calgary. As for work, at least for the summer I can probably do something like painting (actually, painting keeps sticking in my mind for some reason) until I figure something else out. I mentioned earlier that I took the Birkman test, and it is very much job/career oriented, so I will be taking time to look through the results of that more thoroughly to see if that gives me any ideas or wakes any passions in me, but, again, I just don't have the time/energy to really deal with that here.
But if you are feeling like helping me, here are a couple of things you can do: I will need a place to live in Calgary, so if you happen to hear of anything, please let me know. And if you hear of work in the area, also let me know. I may not go with your suggestion, but at least I will have something to look at. And I will never complain about being prayed for.
Wellp, until next time, I remain.
Oh yeah, I also plan on purchasing Futurama seasons as well. I saw they had a box set of all four volumes...maybe I'll buy that.

I know what you mean about a few months not being a lot of time (especially when it comes to school and getting to know people). As far as work situations in Calgary, I have little information (only that I enjoyed working at Sunnyside Greenhouse, but that was just a summer job - it was better than Safeway at least). I'd suggest some appartments in Bowness (it's a nice little community - even though it has been changing), but we probably got it for cheaper since we got in there just before prices went up. Anywho, we'll be praying.
(I've also been working on "The Life of a Shoe" - it's kind of experimental, but I think it has potential)
I could probably suggest a couple places...in Hamilton. :P
In the meantime, I will be praying. :)
total garage?
just a thought
rumour is that Q is in the background at TGI and that his Father is running things... and he may need a helper... and their main thing is kind of painting now.
