procastinating from study

As a side note..You know your getting old when.. you think before you put a candy necklace around your neck..think about the dirty pores on your neck, the unseen grease or dirt that will touch the small, colourful pieces of candy. Back to reality - tomorrow is my last exam, and there shall be freedom! The plan is then to start work full time on April 31st. I cannot express enough how relieved I will be to leave BP. At the end of May, I will have worked there for exactly 2 years and 9 months. That's a long time to carry home the smell of restaurant many nights a week, serve new people every night, and put up with the same old crap and people day after day. That's a lot of yam fries, spaghetti, and perogy pizzas i've eaten :S On the other hand, I know I will miss a lot of co-workers who have now become good friends. Good and bad. Life seems to balance itself out. Next week will be so nice! Knowing that school is over until september and that most of my next couple months are planned out, I will be able to relax - especially when I'm laying on a dock out in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun, with the waves crashing up against the shore, surrounded by two of my most faovourite people in the entire world. I'm going to Oma and Opa's!

hello april.

(i wrote this a few days ago, was disconnected by my internet, it saved, and i am continuing on today) Today is the official last day of march, and so much to reflect on! A month of no posts should mean one big long one, but I think I might try to sum this time up shortly.. Today, actually, has been interesting. Before I left for school this morning I decided to open up my bank statement, pay my cell bill and get it out of the way so I didn't have to worry about it all day. I almost shat myself when I looked at it. Someone anonymous person withdrew a very large amount of money from my account..nice.. Obviously, I freaked out. I called my bank right away and dealt with the manager of Loss Prevention at TD blah blah blah.. Anyways it turns out that I've been a victim of fraud, and the type of fraud I've experienced has been happening frequently to many people lately. I'd gotten a couple emails from "TD Canada Trust" marked as urgent, stating that I needed to confirm my online banking information by clicking on a link. I obvioulsy thought this was legit because a few months back I had tried to set up online banking but couldn't figure it out so I just gave up.. anyways I clicked on the link on a couple emails and everytime got re-directed to a broken link.. SOMEHOW some nasty people got ahold of my account information that way and took a lot of money out. :( By the end of this week, I SHOULD have my money returned to my account. Hopefully?  This month has been a lot of answered prayers. God really is pressing into me that I need to trust him with so much more than I do. I worry about mostly every important decision in my life and even the little things, most of the time not even thinking for a second that I can let God handle it.. I want to be able to know right away that the Lord is taking care of me and my steps in life and the second I start to worry or try and handle it on my own, I want to let God carry it. Some exciting things, I am officially accepted into Langara College in Vancouver for the 2010 fall semester. Vancouver is only two months away, so surreal. There is so much to do before then that I keep putting everything off, and all I want to do is not think about it and enjoy the last two months that I have left here. My class 5 driving test will be on tuesday, yay! School is also progressing really well, exams will be in about two weeks and I feel like I've really just coasted through this semester. Jason's family invited me over for Easter breakfast tomorrow, so looking forward to it, they still and I htink always will feel like family to me. Especially now, almost more than ever when I feel like I don't have family support here anymore. I want to make sure that these last two months are meaningful, that is, I want to connect with important people before I leave, and really prepare myself for the rest of this year. I will do more blogging over these next few weeks..

Love,
Karoline
