Not good at blogging

So it is true, I am really not good at blogging. Not that i dont have anything to say, just that I never take the time to put my thoughts down on paper! Weirdly enough, if you wanted to talk to me, i would have PLENTY to say, but I just can't manage to keep this thing current. So I will try again!

It's been a hella long time since I last wrote in this thing! I was just fresh off the plane and settling into Vancouver. Now It's a new year... and I'm still settling into vancouver, 9 month later. I think I like it here, but I can't be 100% sure. There are certainly things that I enjoy, the nicer weather (winter excluded), the summers here rock. I have made some friends independant of Astrid, which I think is crucial to my happiness here... As I am always the Social Bug! Being in School has been really great. Even though I don't feel like I have learned a lot (maybe I'm just overwhelmed, and I really have) I am really enjoying the courses.

UIrban Planning is an interesting thing. I have been having mixed feelings about my professors as of late. I have been calling them "dreamcrushers" as they are only interested in telling us all the things that are NOT possible in the world of planning. This is a career and I will certainly find it really hard to work in this field if I feel like a CRAP Government Sleezeball all the time. I'm pretty sure that I will not be working for the Provincial Government, but rather pushing forward with my dream of working for the United Nations in Developing Countries! I'll be damned if i let them try to quash my dreams.

On the work front things have not really improved. I am just an administrative hooker, and while i need the money and will try to trudge on as best as I can, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get out of bed and get to work. I work with a bunch of lame people, which doesn't help the cause in the slightest. One of the other women here is clearly losing her mind and as she falls deeper and deeper into her mental illness, the rest of us have to suffer her weirdness (the woman is WHACK!) She used to like me but then accused me of stalking her a few month back and hasent talked to me since. WEIRD-O!! I have started applying for other jobs in the hopes that I can get the hell out of here....

Our project for this term at school is to develop a neighbourhood plan for an area of Vancouver. The great thing about it is the fact that we get to work on teh project all term and that will be most excellent in terms of being able to focus on one thing for a greater period of time.

OK, I really gunna try to keep at it...
