Back to the grind.. !

Yup. That's right. After about a week of rest after touching down in Calgary from Tanzania, it was time to get back to work. And man, did I get back to work with a vengeance. Haha, I really felt like I had to compensate for the money I wasn't able to make during the summer while I was on vacation.

When returning back to work, I tried to make a schedule that would fit for me, and unfortunately in order for me to do that, I had to make some changes. One of the biggest ones was quitting my school learning counsellor job. It was a job I really enjoyed, and I had been really looking forward to starting off the school year and sharing the journey with the students of St. Mary's high. Unfortuantely, upon receving my final practicum schedule from the University of Calgary, it quickly became very clear that this wasn't possible.

It looks like I will go back to picking up some relief shifts at the group homes where I work as they become available While I considered looking for a more steady part time job, I decided against it, as I will also be doing a practicum during my winter semester, and I have no idea how that schedule will look like either! And I don't want to risk having to leave another job that I've fallen in love with.

Right now, I am having no difficulty findig shifts as there seems to be alot of people taking off vacation time. When that phase ends, I guess I will just have to reevaluate my budget and work from there! Until then, its back to the grind for me. Might as well make that money while I can!

Tired, Tired, Tired.... Oh.. and did I mention Tired?

Wowww, what an exhausting week! And the funny thing about that statement is, the week isn't over yet! Its only Wednesday, and I am up at 1:42 AM working on one of my assignments ....actually... scratch that. I obviously am not currently working on my assignment, instead I have decided to waste more time writing in my blog that I have been neglecting for the past 10 days or so... (sorry).

Its a lot harder then I thought it would be to maintain a blog. Especially when it feels that sometimes, I don't have very much free time, and the little free time I do have, I completely forget about the blog.

Anyways, where was I? Ohh that it has been a long, hectic, week, and I am tired.

Why, and how? I don't even know where to begin to answer that question? Lets just say that school, and work have been overwhelming. I really need to sit down and re-evaluate my plan on how I am going to balance the two out. Now, throw in time with friends, family, and loved ones, and thats when things really become hectic and overwhelming... Hmm I dont even know if this blog makes sense. Im typing for the sake of writing in my neglected blog, and I really don't want to unleash and start venting, because I probably won't be finished until 3 am, and no body wants that...

So lets just leave it there before my blood pressure starts rising again...?


Ok. Back to my assignment.

My next post will make more sense... My fried brain should have recuperated by then...

Goodnight.... er.. Goodmorning... i guess.
