Life after graduation

Hey all, haven't blogged in ages. Well one of my last blogs was about going back to school ultimately I did go back to school with the encouragement of my sister Robin. We both graduated together which was awesome. I met some awesome ppl and had a great experience in class with my 11 other classmates. Spent 2 months on placement and met some awesome people there too.

There was its ups/downs like with everything but now its all over and I am now the unemployed person who has graduated college and just looking for that one place to say I want that person to work for me. Just before Christmas and being jobless totally sucks by the way, totally hoping something comes up.

Applications are out for the private places since my experience wasn't enough to impress the government right now. I was the underdog in my class and EVERYONE has a job but me. Talk about a confidence killer right there, But I am hoping someone will just give me the opportunity to prove I can do the job......

Dreams and Discoveries

Well this is my second blog post I havent really felt inspired to write since my last post in November. Anyways since my last post I have moved home and am enjoying it. Its nice to be home and to have groceries as I went shopping but anyway enough boring stuff about groceries lol.

So I had these weird dreams for weeks and now they are over I have normal completely random dreams now lol. Anyways my nightmare always seemed to end in me being alone and surronded by people I did not know and I was unsure of why I was having this dream. I had spoke to a friend about it several times and he informed me that maybe I should try to control my dream and to see if I can somehow change how it ends or be able to contact him in my dream or someone else I knew. Now I have concluded that my dream was about my fear of not having friendship or love in my life as I have been single for a few months now (which is different for me as I have been in 2 long term relationships back to back). Now that the dreams have stopped and my outlook on my past has changed as I have relalized you should let go of the past because my dreams were clearly telling me that something was wrong and I was alone in them for a reason now that I am not thinking about my past and am starting to think of who I want to be to make me happy. I have realized that what other people think doesnt really matter as much as what you think of yourself if you are happy with you you are you are more likely to find someone who relates to you and good vibes attract people and friends.

Life has changed for me the past few months and its for the better I have never really been that creative or able to write and have things make sense to me. I am single and for once im ok with that because im changing who I am and Im learning who I am and able to talk with a good friend on the phone and we talk about tons of stuff and we talk about life and random topics about life in the east coast vs life on the west coast sometimes and many other things. I am working full time as you all know. I am eating healthier now and I want to lose the weight ive gained to not be overweight and be a more healthy human being.

Anyways someday I hope to be a healthy more active individual and someday and have goals set for what kind of job I want and the kind of life I want to live and what job I want and what aspirations and goals I want to attempt to achieve in my life. Life for me has been interesting so far and i have enjoyed most of it even the difficult parts of my life. These parts of my life have made me who I am today and have made me a good person. My life has changed who I am for the better and I hope I continue to grow and change and have goals for myself and figure out where I want to go with my life and I want to show people that I can be who I am and also find my own successes in life.

Anyways that is all for now,

School

Hey,

So I've never really written a blog, but my cousin does so i figured why not give it a shot you can write what your feeling kinda like a journal which I never really was good at either but anyway do here it goes.

I was thinking today about my brother who past away almost 4 years ago and he did graduate high school after he died and he never got to do anything he wanted to do. He got out of high school and he was moved out at the time with some people and he wanted to go to go to a post secondary school and never got the chance to do what he wanted with his life. He was late graduating which is ok. I was proud of him for everything he has or I guess I should say had since he has passed away. Anyways not really the point of what I am getting at. My brother whos name was Shawn had a heart transplant when he was 16 and he had everything to live for and he lived a good life and he had goals that he never got to try to accomplish.

So I was thinking today about my life and what I had done that was anything important or special. My life right now isnt that great or interesting. I work full time at McDonalds 10 am-6 pm monday to friday. Which is all well and good it pays my bills and rent and so on but what in my life am I accomplishing. I had ok marks in high school and went to university for a year and half my marks first year were ok they werent great but they were as follows: Intro to Cell and Molecular Biology 60%, General Chemistry I 79%, Introductory Foods 70%, Critical Thinking and Writing 69%, Introduction to Organisms 52%, General Chemistry II 53%, Families in Contemporary Society 73%, Finite Mathematics 58%, Religions of the World:Eastern Tradition 62%. Yes I know some of these marks arent the greatest and could be improved but it was my first year and it was a big change for me and I know I wasnt ready for it. I was just out of high shcool and all my friends were going and it was being paid for by my grandfather all I had to do was work hard and I didn't do as good as I wish I did. Now looking back on my half of second year I went to I failed I was living on my own and working and having fun living alone with no parents to tell me what to do.

I like living on my own the novelty of it all has worn off now and my sister is going back to school sometime and I liked university it was hard but I really liked it at first when I decided to drop out of my second year second semester I was glad to have a full time job and an apartment away from home. Now I miss school and I miss home where things were free and you had rules and people that cared about you that told you to do your homework, clean your room, told you to help make supper, and to wash your pots and to tell you to put your dishes in the dishwasher. If I could change what I decided before I moved out of my parents home and knew how hard it was and how much I would miss school and would miss learning I would take it all back and have still been on suspension probably but would have paid to live at home until my suspension was over and gone back to school with a new outlook. Now I dont have the support to go back to school like I want to.

I havent saved any money since I moved out because of all my bills ect. After I catch up on my debts and maybe I will find a way to save money and pay for myself to go back to school and get a decent education. I really like children and I like to study about chemistry and biology but I really messed up at university when I was there and now after a year and a half im 20 years old and I now think I have the drive to go back to school I learned that I need to work hard at it and learn and study. I someday want to go back to school and show my family I can do this and I can be the only one of my siblings to get a degree from university and get really good marks and be really successful at something in life.

Anyways thats all I have for now.
