This is my last official day of work, I have less than two hours remaining until i can cast of the shackles of my midnight shift at a technical support call center and prepare for greater things.
My time here has been pretty short, just a matter of months really. It's not been terrible but not somewhere that I would relish spending the rest of my working years... or even the rest of this working year for that matter.
To be terribly honest, I have managed to bring slacking to an all new level tonight! My only goals were to finish my 2 foot long mammoth sub and begin my list of things to do before i die. As I develop my list I begin to realize that I've accomplished some pretty cool things in life. For a few years I was part of a touring performing arts team called Spirit Borne. Those were great years where I developed some incredible lasting friendships. We travelled to Michegan, US and all through the East coast of Canada while I was on the team. great times. Also, my first year out of highschool, I volunteered as a youth worker in Burton-upon-Trent, UK. Even while I was in England I managed to do plenty of travelling all through England, Northern Ireland, down to Southern Ireland, a week at a castle in Wales and 10 days in Munich, Germany. I learned much about the world and myself.
Those experiences also gave me a taste of what the world has to offer, and I want more! I can't wait to see the world! I want to live it, breathe it, experience it and effect change in it. All of this is so exciting. My biggest fear is that it will leave me alone, wandering with no-one beside me, no-one to confide in. In fact, I even wrote a song about it. The song is basically about how I want my life to be profound but it will come at a high cost leaving me lonely throughout life. Right now I have a loving mother, friends and a girlfriend but I don't know how long they will stand beside me if I'm so far away and I doubt that any are willing to follow me there. Only time will tell I suppose.
Wow... this log was supposed to be about my final preparations, did not mean to get so deep into my psyche. back on topic, I'm stressed about what I have left to do. Though I don't have much to worry about, the are big things and with the proximity of my trip, the seem like titanic undertakings. I still need my tourist visa (Monday), pay all my bills, (tuesday) find where I will store my things and move them there (???day) and many other things. (not to mention saying goodbye to friends and loved ones)
Wish me well as life in Canada heads to a close.
