College is starting up in… 21 days? Three weeks exactly. Pretty intense, if you ask me. I am done my summer job in 10 days. I find that really unfortunate, definitely not looking forward to that.
I can feel the pressure of it all starting to build though. Definitely starting to tell by how much I have started eating, which is horrible because I am supposed to be running my ass off so I can try out for the Cross Country team at the college. Yeah, I do not think that is going to go well. I probably will still try out but I do not think I will do well at all. Not at all. My plan is to go to the gym at the college though. I find that I can schedule to work out and run better when I am attending school or something.. and when I know the gym is close to the school and easily accessible. There is also a lake near the place I am renting that has a nice path going around it that I could run. Blahhh.
So my plans for education are going crazy. I now have the crazy idea that I want to be a helicopter pilot. Pfft, yeah, I know. But I seriously think I want to do it! After my Natural Resource Compliance course I could work for a few years or so, save up around $70 000 (yes, that’s a lot of money) and then go train to be a pilot! Who is with me? This plan was planted into my head after I went on my first helicopter ride (this is usually how people decide they want to be a pilot but most find it to difficult to follow through). It was reinforced again when I flew some helicopters on the flight simulator at the tanker base near where I am staying and the supervisor helping me told me I was really good and said I should contact some helicopter company that my employers have hired helicopters from for fire suppression and stuff.
I hate crazy ideas. They always get my hopes up way too far.
God, I feel gross right now.
There are some things I still want to do before going to college. Namely getting my nose pierced or getting more piercings in my ears. And camping with friends, but that’s happening this weekend with the friends I made this summer. I am taking them to one of my favourite spots and I am hoping all works out and that it’s going to be sweet.
Ha, this last weekend I went to my friend’s bush party. It was very much like my graduation party except I didn’t drink nearly as much, thankfully. And this time there was a slip-and-slide (which was actually dubbed “Slip-and-Bleed”) and a marriage that involved wine being thrown at the ‘priest’s’ crotch and a divorce that ended the marriage by the ingestion of a marshmallow. Yes, these are the stupid things that take place only at parties. I had fun though, lots of dancing on truck tail gates and the wearing of cowboy hats with aviator sunglasses (even though it was around midnight when I brought them out and put them on). Ahhh, parties. Never a dull moment.
Seriously though, I am excited to go to college. I hope I meet some more awesome people. I have already made some sweet friends here and that has only made me more pumped to make more friends during college. And instead of only being able to spend two months with them, we’ll have two glorious years to be together.
Ha.
Twenty-one minutes until my lunch break and frozen yogurt. sigh.
