you see, I can be myself now, finally; in fact, there's nothing I can't be.

Yeah, life has been a nutty roller coaster so far this year.
It's awesome.

Not only have I been to Central America (visiting the countries Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador) and back, I've also decided to go back and have been accepted to Lethbridge College and take the Exercise Science program. I'm still working on getting residence paperwork completed, but it's looking pretty good! And since coming back, I started dating an amazing guy. He's possibly the sweetest guy I know and we're both really happy! Also in the works is a summer position at the lumber mill just outside town. It's probably the best paying job I'd be able to get here for just the summer, so I'm really hoping I'll be hired. We'll see!

I've been fairly busy, but fairly lazy at the same time. Coming back from Central America was sort of weird, I was able to jump back into life here pretty fast. I got a nasty head cold for about 3-4 days, but that's probably due to the climate change, which was big (going from the really warm and humid to dry and cold). The first real day back was wet, cold and windy; my dog and I got soaked and chilled on our walk when it pretty much started to blizzard on us. Not cool. My stomach has also been acting up from the difference in water and food, but it's getting better. I have medication for that and a pill for Malaria prevention, which I have to take for a minimum of a month after coming home.
It's been nice coming home, though. I was ready. The alcohol and drugs were insane down there and I was ready for a break. I also wanted something to do! A three month vacation without any sort of itinerary is a recipe for eventual boredom. I was going crazy the last two weeks there since we were all getting ready to come home and there wasn't much to do.

I can tell 'ya one thing, though: I sure as hell missed the Rocky Mountains. Haha, a lot. A few days after I got back, I jumped in my good ol' Beast ('86 Chevrolet Silverado - it's a tank and a piece of shit that I just so happen to adore) and went for a nice drive out west. Mountains and pine trees and Canada Geese; it was awesome.

Yeah.
I'm probably going to be posting more now that I'm home again. I was too lazy to post about things while I was down south.. there would have been so much shit!
'Just glad to be home.
