happy March everyone! I have heard too many times in my life that if March comes in like a lion it leaves like a lamb. I guess this means we have spring coming soon to look forward to after all this ice and snow. Can't wait. I am usually a huge fan of winter......dare I say it was my favorite season. This year I have not had any time to enjoy it. I never found one day to go skating on an outdoor rink, or skiing - which i miss badly, or even time to build a snowman or go tobogganing. These have been the activities that have made my winters top all seasons. I often wonder if i really had no time or did not make time for it. Other people seem to do these things, and are just as busy in life as me. I guess I could always head out for an hour in my day and take these in, yet they have always felt like they are better in groups.
I am at the point of the year where i am starting to snowball towards the fall. It does seem early as it is 6 months away, but i am still starting to crumble under the pressure. I am facing the hardship of finding a job right now, probably moving again, finishing school and dealing with exams, and then running out of that sweet OSAP syrup. I had thought worrying about these things was ok, but apparently it bothers other people when you are down and can't find the fix. So i am in search of a few suggestions on how to be ok with having the rest of my life up in the air and having no control over my future. seriosly - these are needed.
On the b/f note: just as things started to settle down with my guy he took a job on the exact opposite side of the world from N Bay. He is heading to East Timor in April. Throw that on top of everything and you get a very stressed BEd student.
I need a drink or two, or ten. i am well aware alcohol doesn't solve problems, but i am good with being numb for a while. A retreat, escape to a spa, massage, or girls night out would be a welcomed experience once i get a job. Something to take the tension out of my neck and stop the constant anxiety. I am sure i can wiat 6 months for that - - i hope!

I can totally sympathesize with you over the job front. I was in similar shoes 4 years ago. I wish you the best of luck on the job front.
Are you gonna be in Stratford on March 16th? I could go for a girls' night then.
The keys to life
1-Wine, and lots of it (if it's in a box or a tetrapack all the better)
2-A giggly trip to that coffee house that I can't think the name of because I've been out of North Bay too long (msn me if you are interested)
3-A ridiculous film with a weak premise such as "Chopping Mall" (yes that really IS a movie)
4-Swinging back into northern Quebec life (should I actually get the job)
5-Shopping spree at Dollerama (5$ and you are set)
Who knew that two of the five keys to a happy life revolved around me. Haha. I'm sure you can rotate any friend into my place and still have a good time.
Wow, East Timor... that is far away. Good luck to the two of you.
I'm all with the alcohol and numbness. I'm in a want-to-be-numb situation too, so I get it.
Is it perm. or is the job placement for a short period of time?
