Just like how you love taping your favorite show, rewinding that tape you taped it on and re watching it over and over again, I feel I have been living that kind of life for the last few weeks of August, expect for the fact that you don't love it. Last week I had five shifts in a row, and I know some people are work-alcoholics and put in more than 40 hours a week so I'm not blogging to put forth a complaint but rather to share a horrendous thought that has hit me.
So I guess I've worked before and probably have done five shifts in a row, Monday to Friday but I realized life is pretty routined when it comes to working. You get up, go to work, get off work, go home, relax a bit, head to bed, hopefully have a good night's rest then wake up to start the day before all over again. All the way until Saturday hits if your lucky to not work despite the fact that Monday is just two days ahead again. But when I'm not employed I feel bored and there's nothing to do (out-of-school wise): friends maybe busy to call up and go out with, the house doesn't require excess cleaning or I'm just a couch potato, and your just being occupied by some screen. So I guess the positive side to working is one, of course the money! and two, you have something to do. But is that it? ... Pretty much.
I came to realize that when I finish my degree and get my ideal career (let's hope) will it be a routine as well? I get bored of doing repetitive work and that is one of the reasons I don't take charge of organizing specific events more than once even though I can approach it in a new way, but with anything, there are exceptions. I want a job that allows me to do different things, gives me fresh opportunities and challenges in a way so I don't repeat the same answer twice you see.
On a side note, weekends do put a smile on my face since I don't work Sundays so I always have a day just to attend church, have a nice afternoon nap, and maybe if I'm lucky I get to get ready for an outing or fellowship that night. The Sabbath has a purpose and I'm glad it was made for us to rest our bodies and not work.
Maybe that's why some people wish they were back in school once they've finished and has entered the work field. Ironically students always want to rush their education, get employed and start working. So in a week or so round 2 of university will begin and I can believe it. Its already bye-bye August.
Round 2, promise you won't K-O me.

Something to Say
I had a lot to say, but I read someone's blog just now and now I have a lot to think about and allow that to sink in. Oh how the blogging world works sometimes eh?
Alright, so as I approach the dreaded 1-9, I can say I had my first ever surprised birthday party, HOLD UP... I just remembered a bunch of school friends popped up at my house once (I think when I turned 15?), so never mind, first CHURCH surprise AT church and presented to be by my SICs (Siblings in Christ). I always cherished being a Christian and multiple times I would question where I would be if I was not: if my mom didn't bring me to church since I was a wee little girl, if I rebelled enough as a teen to detour me from this thing I believed in, if, what if. So in the end I always knew if the world ended, if all was to come crashing down, I would always have my faith to grab onto. People may come and go, certain events may not be as popular as it once was but being a christian girl I can say with all my heart, soul and mind that church is close to home. Unlike school friends or individuals you meet elsewhere, church identities will always be there no matter what, no matter if you are tight or not, no matter if you hang out weekly or just keep up with each other occasionally, it all comes down to our common denominator: Faith. "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism."
Where was I going with that? I really don't know, but I guess I just felt like making that public even though its just generic stuff. All I can say is I felt really happy on Thursday despite knowing and expecting a 'surprise' party. I have to admit I was quite jaw dropped at some people that came, some stuff that happened but basically I just felt loved (not the gf/bf type) but just as a family member loves one another, I felt really at home. Sometimes friendships can run deeper then relationships at home and I just find a hint of irony in that.
That's a wrap, but I will always remember my friend's first ever msn name when I conversed with her in gr.5, and it goes like this:
"Friends are like Angels without any Wings,
Blessing our Lives with the most Precious things"

Home
So I've been back in town for five days now. Work has started again and being at home is pretty plain Jane. Instead of sitting in front of the computer and let Facebook or Msn occupy my time, I decided to get off for a bit earlier today and decided to go tidy up my room and closet. I actually got a lot of organizing done, and I feel there's more to be accomplished. Not long after, I had a friend come over and we had a pretty nice chat: it's been a while since we had some real FACE time so it was nice to catch up and hopefully that wasn't the last time we see each other before she heads off for vacation.
My last week in Vancouver was just amazing, staying at my friend's place, being able to visit Urban Promise, catch up with friends and just being able to see the Olympic Cauldron was wonderful! I really miss it, I miss being away from home although it is nice to be back, and just have time move slower. Soon another school year will start again, AGAIN? I feel like I could use more Summer time, but these past 3+ months were quite an experience. I learned a lot, traveled a lot, and grew up a LOT! Man, I just don't want summer break to end, it just gets better every year. I'm sure there's more to follow this coming school year, but I anticipate more 'work' then fun, but that's life for you, it just has to balance out or everyday would be a routine.
On a brighter side, my birthday is soon but a few of my close friends seem to be out of town and half my family will be on vacation, so as nineteen approaches, I anticipate a quiet scene.
