Finally a day to relax and yesterday's thoughts

Today I finally got a day to relax. I have had such a long week, early school mornings and late working nights. I enjoyed my day off with Mr.curious...I had such a busy week that I barely got to spend any time with him...but today made up for it :). We just relaxed, talked, and enjoyed eachothers company - he is the best !!

Last night, I worked until 10 pm...I got the opportunity to meet a new employee. She got comfortable very fast and felt the need to explain her past history. I wont get into that but she definately has hurt and has been hurt in the past. With out even her having to explain her past it was evident in her outlook on life. I felt for her - and did not say anything because I do not know her too well, and not sure how she'd react.
I have a point to this story, in which I will get to, promise. The mail delievry guy comes in often so he is able to distinguish whose new and whose not. He began to talk to her as I stood beside her and she also felt very comfortable telling him, her past history. He on the other hand was different from me, he decided to give her his opinion. He felt that she has a negative out look on life - although he does not know her own journey he did say 'your are the captain of your destiny, you have a say'. Out of everything they talked about that interested me the most...and maybe right now this individual does not agree or even realise that that is really good advice. Its sometimes hard to take advice but we always have to remember that when you think you have it bad, someone out there really does have it worst. Your not alone in this place that we sometimes feel like we are...we just need to learn from the past, and put your mind forward, you gotta think positive because your mind works stronger than you think. Anyways...I just thought I'd share strong words that came my way yesterday.

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend :)

Don't compare your life to others

Today I feel like blogging about something that often bothers me. All of us in life are faced with obstacles that are difficult or feel difficult to over come. Many of us, can put a smile on our faces and try to cope with what we have. Alot of us try not to talk about our personal life with those who maybe 'outsiders', which to them, they probably feel like you have it all. The reason I think that...is because it is evident by their attitude and expressions towards your life.



I saw something very powerful on the internet and decided to save it, it said "Don't Compare your life with others, you have no idea what their journey is all about". This is so true and so powerful. I dont like to tell people how they should think but...I do think people should consider this before judging someones personal life. I come from a world that I am blessed in the sense to come home to family, to be given the opportunity to go to school and what not but I am most definately faced with obstacles. Like many, I choose not to talk about my obstacles on my lifes course except to really close friends, and therefore for those who see me from the 'outside' world see a shield. Many people place an invisable shield which blocks out the ability to express their obstacles or paths in their own journey. I think this is totally ok and acceptable...what I don't think is okay though is those outsiders always judging because they don't truly know that persons journey nor do they need to know.

Your life is your life, my life is my life......all that should really matter is living it, loving it, and learning from it. What makes you happy, is all that really matters, what other people have to say or judge is rooted from the unhappiness in their life. As hard as it maybe, the important thing is, never feel discourage or bothered my the judgement of others on your life journey.

Anyways, that was on my mind..........on a different note...today was a long day for me at work, but I was happy to be headed home, but got completely soaked from the rainy weather. I am happy to finally be home, but am toooo lazy to do laundry...I desperately need to start it lol.

Tomorrow is my mommy's birthday...and the first day of the LSAT prep course I joined. Although I am skipping out on the course and will re-make it on Friday because we are going for dinner :)

Never wait til the last minute...

It took me sooo long to finally get my G....well it felt like it anyways. I know it may not be the biggest accomplishment...but it was to me yesterday!
Where I live, after getting your G2 (where you are able to drive alone)...you have 5 years to take another test where you have your complete liceans.

Now many people encouraged me not to wait the 5 years because I will soon pick up my own driving techniques and what was taught to me by the driving schools will soon fade. Of course...I did not listen...like how hard can it truly be? I thought to my self

Anyways...I decided last August to take the first test...because I figured in case I fail...I have one more year to re-do the test...but I was confident of course, that I would pass. So I get to the counter...and the man was rude and blunt. He had told me that I missed my appointment and it was at 9 am, not 1 pm...and I had to pay $75 again. I assured him that I would NEVER make an appointment that early...especially if I am driving on the highway...unfortunately he made me pay again...I had no choice and I was trying to remain calm. Shortly after, this woman is walking towards my car - she checks if the car is safe to drive (checking lights, signals and horn). We than proceeded to the test...I am driving on the road feeling very confident still...5 minutes into the test and the woman in a stern voice says "Mam, you are going 49 in a school zone, SLOW DOWN"...I suddenly felt my confidence crush...and new it went down hill from there. BUT...slowly I began to feel okay because she continued to make me do things on the test...and complimented my merging on the highway. We finally get back to the drive centre when she asks me to shut my car off and passes me my paper that says FAILED!...she was very serious when mentioning that there is a zero tolerance in a school zone. I was crushed when she left the car...I began crying..and I drove away feeling silly.

I wanted to get it over with so I decided to book again for the end of August...I pay online- everything is good...but suddenly the Ministry decides to go on strike for 5 and half months pushing my test all the way to February! So I get to the test centre...same routine...I wait in my car for the instructor to come check if the car is good to go...and SUDDENLY.... my back break light was NOT working. So of course...I could not do the test and I lost 50 % of the money. I started to get very fusterated but there was nothing I can do. Once again I felt silly because I should have checked before going to the centre ...sooo I made an appointment for June 10...but I enrolled in a summer course that I had an exam at the same time I had my G...so of course I had to re schedule my G.

Yesterday.......I get there...with my car checked...everything was a GO...except the man at the counter asked me if I'd like to re-schedule my test because there is alot of traffic on the highway...it will be a 2 hour wait. I decided to wait!!!!!!!!!!...I had too. There was no 2 hour wait...it was 10 minutes. I proceeded to drive...and was shaking ...my instructor knew I was very nervous and told me to calm down. He tried to create conversation with me and before I knew it I was DONE DONE DONE. He told me to shut my car off (I began to get nervous)...he told me that I PASSED........but this time I was going TOO SLOW ...

Anyways...my lesson was learnt, try to never wait too long, it may cost you, your time and alot of money.........but on a brighter note....I PASSED :)

First time blogger!

Hello to the blogging world,



I'd like to start off my first blog about letting you know a little about me. I am 22 years old and am in my last year of my undergrad in Sociology, and if you are wondering...Yes I truly do love sociology. My hopeful plan is to write my LSAT's test this coming October and possibly go to law school.



I enjoy the company of my immediate family members, close friends and boyfriend. Like always, we butt heads time to time, but I love them all so much.



I am not too much of a sporty girl but I do enjoy the outdoors...I enjoy working out, but the difficult part is getting there - once I'm there...I'm motivated and ready to burn my calories away. I also love swimminggg........especially on a really hot hot day......so refreshing. Other hobbies of mine consist of reading both fictional and non fictional books - they keep you sharp and on the ball.

A little more personal stuff about me...

Over the course of highschool to university there was a transition in me, I started noticing how I have changed and matured and discovered what I feel like my adolecent life is all about. I learnt that its important to discover the person you are and be true to yourself. I think the three most important things are living, laughing, and loving. If you have those down pact....I think you have the ability to overcome any obstacle or curve ball that is thrown your way. Having faith and hope in God's plan that he has set out for you will also get you through life's journey.

I learnt that life isn't just about find out who you are but rather its about creating who you are. I plan on using this blog to express my feelings, and keep daily (try to keep daily) updates about anything that is going on in my life or something thats on my mind :)



Anyways, I am really excited to start following other great blogs :)

xoxo
