I guess I've been rather busy. School, work, and stress, all lead to this "blog" (I use the term loosely) being put on the back burner. I swear though, I was productive the whole time. Well, most of it anyway. Take last weekend, for example. I cleaned my bedroom (which was an apocalyptic mess) and was feeling so productive that my energy spilled into cleaning out my closet. If you knew me, you'd know that cleaning my closet was a monumental task. I haven't properly cleaned it out in literally AGES. Needless to say, four bags of (donated) clothes, 4 boxes removed and a whack of laundry and folding later, I finally have my closet back. I'm really happy. It's nice having a clean room, it makes me want to spend time in here, which leads to more productivity school-wise. I feel less stressed, also, because chaotic environments are, well, stressful and chaotic.
School has been busier and more stressful as well because the year is coming to a close. I can't get over it, myself. First year of university done already? It's crazy. I think I'll miss FYP a little. It's been fun (sort of). I learned a lot, and made some wonderful friends over the course of the (short) year. I do, however, understand now why university ends in April. A few more months of this and I'm not quite sure I would've made it. BUT I have made it, and am really looking forward to summer, even if it's technically still two or three months away.
To add to my stress, I received my "Notice of Termination of Employment" from Zellers a few days ago. The store I work at is closing in December. I'm glad they gave us eight months notice, yes; that's plenty of time to figure stuff out. Regardless, seeing "termination" in any letter is a little unnerving, as it's not really the nicest word. Plus, I (probably naively) hoped, when I got the job two and a half years ago, that I'd be able to just stick with it until I no longer needed a part time job (AKA until I finished university and got a real job). So it kind of sucks that I have to find another place to work - there's no way I can stick around until the end if it's my only job. No one will be hiring mid-December, and no one will be hiring for a few months after, either.
What else? Nothing really I suppose. I'm excited for some friends to come home from school this month. I'm excited to turn 19. I'm excited for my friends to come over and make smoothies on Wednesday after our last class. Easter's coming up. Chocolate is everywhere, it's killer.
It's also been sunnier out lately, which effects my mood rather drastically. I get out of bed five times faster if the sun's out than I do if it's gray, cloudy and cold. The days are getting longer, and summer is just so close and it makes me so happy.
In summary: sorry (to no one) that I haven't posted in ages. Good luck if you're writing exams this month. Here's to a good month for everyone! I'll leave a song here, listen if you'd like. I listened to it in the springtime a lot in late junior high and early high school. It's still good, still applicable and I still like it. Hopefully you will, too. Best wishes, guys. Just a few more weeks and school is done!
