Update on the New Year


I haven’t been posting lately, mostly because I've been busy with all my side projects. Like my volunteering at CHSR FM, and the holidays.

Holidays are wonderful, amazing battery chargers, for those who do not enjoy pushing themselves and their skills to the absolute limit. I myself appear to have problems ever staying still. I've lately been accused of never sleeping as well. Heh.

So I was offered a wonderful opportunity to do promotions for the Fredericton chapter of the Ovarian Canada Society’s Walk of Hope. I accepted, of course.

I was also prompted to open up a promotions company. So I am. It’s going to be an interesting experiment, and I've gotten a lot of feedback just about the idea itself.

One of my friends, when I was telling her what I was pursuing, had this to say; “People think promotions is all about charisma, and it’s not. It’s about organization, and I think you've got that.”
It’s always nice to have some backup.

My significant other was practically ecstatic that I was pursuing something other than making money at my day job (waitressing) and had a lot of interesting advice to give me.

On a side note, I’m currently watching “Merlin” and the main character just started spouting off some kind of dragon language. I've found myself thinking “Holy crap, you sound stupid. Also, translation, please? Subtitles?”

Anyways. Back to an update on everything.

I've decided I’m also pursuing my goals of getting a house. I’ll be spending a lot of today working on my budget (when I’m not actually working) and figuring out plans for the “Walk of Hope” and my new Promotions company.

This entire year for me, I want it to be about making things happen. I know I’m only 23 (yes, I know, I look and act older than I am, and you’re now all dismayed to feel sooo much older, please get over it) but I have things I want out of life, and I’d like to pursue some of my goals while I still have my apparent “youth” to give me the energy to do it.

I've been told I always know what I want, and that’s not actually true. I know what I don’t want, so I work from that angle to figure out what might make me happy. So I suppose in a roundabout logical kind of way, it is knowing what I want.

Until next time! (Whenever that’s going to be... )
