Well-WOW I just realized I haven't blogged since the first week of this year, so I better keep tabs on blogging again. So I guess this term is just swell, I'm living it day by day and it keeps me busy and I'm happy that I've been able to review what I learn daily so I don't pile up, and I've been putting that UoA gym pass to good use =)
Since the start of this term, I've been wanting to find a job, and I have done my part, called places, send out resumes, been to an interview, got turned down, places don't call, I get lazy and want to give up but I guess the good thing is I can focus on school and other things I need to do. Now that I'm on my first reading week ever, its nice not having to wake up for those 8am classes, but I do feel busy studying for my midterms for next week and just running errands, like getting my first ever body check done.. which I got stressed out over, but so far I'm healthy, thank God! I also raided my closet today and filled a bag of old clothes, shoes, etc for this organization coming to pick up donations tommorw. It always feels good to give and not only that, its great to empty out stuff you don't wear anymore and give that item a chance to be worn by those who are less fortunate.
So back to the job hunting thing, I'm still looking, but then I think, do I have time to be employed? That would mean giving up...well my tv time, which ain't that valuable but it comes down to organizing my time and just living a balance of church, school, home, and possibly a work life. I'm so keen on finding a job before end of term because I know once April hits, the demand for jobs is going to rise and the supply will be low (Econ does come in handy=D) Although I have pretty much four midterms coming up, I'm not as stressed as I use to be, God already knows what kind of marks I'll end up with, not saying I'm just going to leave it as it is and not try my best, but I guess going with the flow is better then stressing over things you can't control.
Recently I find myself, keeping to myself a lot, I know I'm an extrovert but a lot of times I like solving my own problems or figuring out how do to something differently without asking for little to no help at all. I wouldn't say its a bad thing, but in a way it is, because not allowing people to associate in your life is a sign of neglecting their concern and love for you, so I got to let go and open up those itty bitty things that I think I can handle, but really, I may be lieing to myself.
Overall, its been a pretty good week following the initiation of Olympics, Chinese New Year, Valentines' (altho n/a for me), Family Day, and this rather short break.
Goal for Lent: giving up chocolate, now lets see how I do this time.
