So a volunteering opertunity seems to be arising. Well see where it goes.

I am sleepy, more so than usual. It seems like my hectic life is finally getting the better of me.

Well I'm too sleepy to write anything further.

Yea, so I'm not invincible.

Yes I know I have to wear sunscreen and stay out of the sun but it is hard. I do wear sunscreen and stuff but I don't think I take it as seriously as I should. Today I was out with a friend and I felt my skin. Not from the outside but from the inside. It can't tolerate the sun or the heat and I have to really be careful. :S


In regards to my previous post. I am fine, I am just at a 'blah' stage in my life and thats okay. I just have way to high expectations for myself and what I think I should be doing in life right now.

Song of the moment: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I feel tired and dull.

Cheers to another day.

It's been awhile since I inflicted the world with another mindless rambling.

So today I applied for another scholarship. Woohoo.. I don't know what it is but lately I have this underlying feeling like nothing is worth the time. I feel like I should be off volunteering in some developing country and giving myself up completely to a cause to make a difference.


But I'm here. And getting by.

It feels like summer is starting.

I haven't decided if this is a good or bad thing yet. I mean I love the nice weather and the sun and the fact that I don't have to wear bulky clothes anymore. Well I avoided those at all costs anyways.

But the sun is my enemy. Summer means a season smelling like sunscreen and being pasty white next to all the beautiful tanned people.

I will just have to 'own' my pasty white skin. It will be my trademark.

April is such a beautiful time. Gardens are flourishing and everything just has a healthy glow to it. Everything is refreshed and new.

It is 'spring cleaning' time and I am repeatedly being asked by my mother if I have anything that I want to get rid of. Nothing this year. I've already gotten rid of it all. Next year though I tell her.

It makes me think. Spring Cleaning shouldn't just be for all the junk laying around our houses. Maybe spring cleaning should be for all the junk in our lives.

I feel like I need to be a new person. I've changed so much on the outside in the past little while but the stuff on the inside is only slowly changing. I need a big blowout, substantial change.

Hmmm...... Maybe this summer I'll get a change of pace instead of a tann.

Today I did a nice thing. They say the one nice act spurs on another and its so true. A few weeks ago another girl at work counted part of my cash up. Tonight, even though I really really wanted to go home, I helped the new girl with hers.

I used to make a point of doing 5 good random acts for others each day but then I kinda stopped thinking about. I'm sure I do acts of kindness all the time but I'm going to start keeping track again so that I can keep myself accountable.

I must remember: Kindness breeds Kindness.

Last night I accepted the 2005 Violet Richardson Award for Excellence in Community Involvement. This award is given out my the Soroptimists International of Langley. Last night I met many influential women and I realize that I would like to be a member of the Soroptimists.

This organization is very involved in the community though helping with the hospital, school programs, cancer funding and supporting women in all areas. It was an honour to receive this award/scholarship from such an influential group.

At the end of the night I ended up talking with the Mayor of Langley for a little while and I now have a meeting with her sometime next month. I think I'm getting the hang of networking.

Well my grandparents left today. I love them so much. Today, before they left, my Grandpa told me that he was proud of me and that coming out here to visit and seeing me accept my award was the only positive time of his year so far. My grandpa doesn't talk about his feelings or show emotion so this meant so much to me.

Today has been a good day.

Yesterday, with the whole world watching, the 'Greatest Man Under God' , the Pope, passed away.

His passing marks the end to a chapter in our collective lives. He was a man who did great things for the world; stopped wars, saved lives.

It is officially part of the 7 day mourning for Catholics. However, right now the whole world is mourning his loss.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE HERE!

I absolutely adore them. It's really exciting that they are visiting here. See usually I go to Alberta to visit them and they take me places and take care of me but this time I get to return the favor. I love it. Tomorrow I'm taking them to North Van to sight see.

Ps. I do realize how bad I am at posting regularly on this thing.
