Yesterday my brother and I went to the city to do some important Christmas shopping (his girlfriend). And I found the Boney M Christmas soundtrack on CD (my mom has the tape and her tape player won't play it anymore...plus you don't have to flip the CD ever!). So I spent today making candy cane popcorn, nanaimo bars and listening to 80's Christmas music. (80's Jamaican *?* Christmas music?)I also went skiing and have been reading Sense and Sensibility.
"Now, how on earth can she be spending so much time doing nothing useful?" you may be wondering.
It's cuz i'm DONE SCHOOL! And won't be starting my new job in Winnipeg until January 12th. (but I've discovered that I am rather fond of this whole no obligations life and maybe will just find some way to get married and have babies instead of working.)
I'm quite terrified be the whole idea of Winnipeg, but it's this crazy thing that I am supposed to actually do. One day I prayed and asked for some sort of reassurance that it was the right choice and the next day I went to Ft. Edmonton park for the Storytellers Festival and there were tonnes of things about Winnipeg there. So I decided that yeah, I should go. But lately I've been having serious doubts for various reasons (fear, it's not easy to move across the country in January, walks around parks filled with Christmas lights in the snow...). And oddly whenever I was seriously considering staying Winnipeg references would come up. My patients would say something about it, or wear a T-shirt that says "Winnipeg". So, i'm thinking that there is something for me to learn out there. Or my mind is just desperately grasping at straws to rationalise this plan of mine. Ha.
But really I am so excited about my job and the people I am going to get to share this next part of my life with.
Anyway, I haven't got anything really profound to share. Just whatever the future holds. I'll try and keep you updated.
