School and starting fresh

Posted in Just Life, Music, Site Updates on September 6th, 2010 by admin

Well just two more sleeps until back to school. :) Yes I am very much looking forward to it. I like the structure and routine. Darien is going into grade 2 and Draven is starting Junior Kindergarten. You always here people talk about how fast kids grow up, and it’s very true. It’s kind of scary actually. But I’m enjoying every stage…. well most of them anyways lol.

The start of school has always been like the start of a new year for me too. I know years start in January but for me it is always September. Maybe it’s all the pretty notebooks and pencils… but I feel a sense of beginning. I’m hoping on the 20th to go back to school. I’m going to take some courses at home to start just to ease myself into it. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. It’s been 5 years since I’ve been at school. But I’m really looking forward to it.

Also in other news, tomorrow is a holiday here. It’s also the first time I get to work on a holiday. Everything is closed but because I work with the animals at a petstore, I need to go in and feed everyone and make sure they’re ok. It’s awesome cause I get paid time and a half for three hours, even though I’ll only be there for one. :) Extra money is always good.

Really other than that things are pretty boring. I’ve been working on another site as a side project for my counseling. I’m supposed to describe my life in great detail in 2015 as I would want it. It’s due Tuesday so I really need to get it done. I’m debating about posting it here….. we’ll see :) Since this has been a pretty short blog, I’ll leave you with a song I’ve been obsessed with lately….. The End of Me by Apocalyptica featuring Gavin Rossdale. I also just put Nightmare Revisited CD on my comp so look for songs from there soon. Byes for now.

30 Day Meme: Day 1 Favourite Song

Posted in 30 Day Meme, Music on July 21st, 2010 by admin

I’ve seen these floating around everywhere so I thought I would give it a shot too. I was going to save this for August… but since I have been insane crazy with work and such I might as well start now.  It’s a lot of fun and a good cheat way of getting to know people hehe. So lets get started…

Favourite Song:

This is insanely hard. Honestly my fav song changes every week. I also listen to a huge variety of music… so this will be more of a fav song of the moment. Lately I’ve been obsessed with A Bid Farewell by Killswitch Engage. One of my fav bands ever, and lately this song makes me think of bidding farewell to negativity in my life. It’s time to focus on the positives and grow from here. :)
