so this weekend ended up being pretty darn good! superbowl was the usual – and jen came which was good – we reock climbed – which is so hard! but it was good. we left early to go home and sleep. than i left for oromocto at 9am!
the CCS conference was great, they’re full of energy and ready to take on the world . i t was great hearing ideas from other relay committees and meeting some really great people.
now – the harder part of looking at what i learned and taking it back to our committee…
when i think about this weekend – i get both scared and excited. more excited.
so first of all tonight my sister and her friend are coming up to check out MTA tomorrow – which i think is pretty exciting! i am definitly biased when it comes to chosing a university.
than tomorrow night jen and i are going to the superbowl with the youth group. after i pick up my rental car that is.
because… the canadian cancer society has asked me to go to their conference this weekend – at which they do a lot of training for the higher positions on the relay for life committees in various places in NB. So i had to think about if i should go – after pulling an all nighter and all… but i got pretty excited. they think i would do really well in a higher position and they asked me to come! that’s pertty awesome! so friday i head to moncton for the superbowl and than jen and i might come back to sack a few hours earlier than everyone else to get some sleep (she’s going on a canoe trip sat afternoon…) and than i have to leave sackville at 9am sharp saturday morning – to drive to oromocto for this conference, they have a room for me for saturday night and then the conference all day sunday and than i come home sunday night! crazy huh?
so maybe this weekend, especially saturday morning you could pray for safety and alertness for me as i drive with not much sleep from sackville to oromocto.
i’m excited though – you never know who you’ll meet at these things. it would be nice if there was someone i knew who was going too… but that’s ok… i’ll make some new friends!
thanks!
(ps – there’s a pool and hot tub in my hotel!)
i would really like to love my job. i just don’t think that i do. like even after a fairly successful week – i just want to go home and not come back. and by home i mean the place i’m staying until sunday.
i just don’t know why i should be here. or what’s so great about it. yes – everyone wants more good news, technically it could help their mental state… maybe. but i feel like there should be more…
it there more. or maybe i just have a problem with being in the same place for awhile. i am going on a bit over a year with absolutely no break (if you don’t count christmas and long weekends – but only when the calander says… not me.)
so seriously – if you’re reading this – please tell me if you think there is more to it (…?)
so i’ve realized that i need to be more committed to God – but it’s kind of a scary and conforting thought all at the same time. how do you do it? what changes? i guess a better question would be what doesn’t change?
i went home for thanksgiving, and it was great. i got to see some of the greatest friends ever. and i got to spend some time with my family too. but i think it’s what i needed, although it wasn’t as rest-filled as it could have been coming back to work has been more of a pleasure than i thought it may be.
there are still a lot of unknowns at the moment – like i still don’t know about sierra leone, and i don’t know how long i’ll be in sackville. but what i do know is that i’m here right now, so why not make the most of it? so tonight i have youth group, and than tomorrow i have a final relay meeting and the usually with my sgci’ers and than friday is the relay – living it up i’d say!
if work is the only thing that’s made me cry the past few months is that bad?
so today, within an hour of being at work my mind floats off to the ‘what in the world am i doing here?’ ‘why do i have this job?’ “because i feel like there’s not much purpose to it.’ and so i started to dream a bit about what i would rather be doing. hiking, or building a house or playing games with kids – i’m not much for structure.
or developing a program that could be used in a church. i know it’s good for people to read and get good news…
point blank: something that helps people.
since september of last year i had two days off (one for my borthers’s grad, the other becuase i was stuck in newark) and one sick day - do you think haveing a vacation will help? or is it time to move on?
today i especially feel like i really don’t like it.
any thoughts? is good news crucial? do you love your job? should i love mine?
