The field and the sky
I can’t believe that it is September 5th already. It’s just absolutely absurd how 4 months have already passed and another school year is about to begin. If you ask me, this summer has definitely been the most eventful summer ever. I’ve never spent so much time with friends and going to so many different places.
Most of May was spent sewing and cutting up materials for our cosplay, which lead to Anime North itself at the end of the month. Our group cosplay was a major success and we got recognized by a lot of people. I discovered that deep down inside my camera shyness, there is another side to me that’s a camera whore. *laughs*
The next two weeks were spent recovering and relaxing before heading to Dallas to meet the boy for the weekend. It was the first time I’ve been on vacation with just my friends. The trip was great, the hotel was really nice and the people were great, even with their funny accents.
For a few weeks in July, I went to the theatre every week because I had nothing better to do. During that time, I had watched more movies than I had in many years. I also saw a whole bunch of people from high school. The same people, but everyone had a different feel to them. The way they dressed and carried themselves really reflected the changes that have gone on in the four years after high school.
The summer ended with going to the CNE one evening followed by a third convention a week or so later. This convention, Fan Expo, was alright but not as good as the first two at the beginning of summer.
School starts on Tuesday. It’s very scary because I don’t know how much I’ve changed over the summer. Have I changed enough that when I get stressed, I won’t crash and isolate myself? Am I going to be able to decide whether I want to do a second degree?

Aaah, you'll fine. Just take one day at a time! And you are so ambitious -- thinking about doing a second degree!

There really isn't much you can do with a B.Sc. in biology and teaching isn't my thing. So I was thinking of going to do a second degree in Ultrasonography. At the very least, you know what jobs you can apply for after you graduate.

There is probably something out there you can do with a BSc that isn't directly related. When I got my degree, I felt like I wouldn't be able to get a job, so I went to a tech school and got some practical skills. That worked out great! Ultrasonography sounds so fancy!

Yeah. I've always planned to go back to school after my degree just because a B.Sc. is so broad. I looked at the college programs in Ontario and there really wasn't anything that interested me and incorporated work experience in some manner.
I'm not exactly the brightest of the bunch so I have worries about getting into the program. But what happens, happens and I'll deal with it then.

Yeah. I start school this week. But I think we end our school term later than you guys. *has no idea*
I worked too! Every weekday, monday to friday 9-5. It was gonna be the death of me. -_-; So glad it's done for now, but I can't stop thinking about the stuff that needs to be done when I get back! >_<
Concerts are cool. I've never been to a concert before. Though, I'm going with my friends to a video game symphony concert at the end of the month =)

video game symphony?
that sounds like all kinds of awesome!
but yea, this past concert was my first,
so it was a new experience that i enjoyed.
other than coheed & cambria, i really hadn't found a band that i was willing to spend a chunk of money and time and gas to go see. but it's really worth it when you do find someone worth going to see. i think dragonforce is coming near you soon. i don't care if you don't like power metal, but GO SEE THIS BAND, if you have the opportunity. they put on an awesome show :] hehe

power...metal...I can just imagine the damage it'd do to my hearing. lol. seeing live bands actually scare me (i'm thinking mosh pits). me and crowds of people don't get along.
...but i'll think about it.
