Two is better than one. :)

Update?

I have just been certified as a personal trainer. I am a waitress and the tips are pretty sweet. I'm working more than full time between the 2/3 jobs. In order to save money and stay in shape I cycle everywhere, even though I live on a mountain. So far I have just under $6000 saved for school plus $2000 in scholarships! I am going to the Philippines in less than two weeks for two weeks. I'm going to Burnaby today with one of  my best friends to start looking at places to live and getting information about the co-op program, then we're having a game night with a bunch of friends. 

My room is a mess. I have been trying to keep it clean, but it just gets away from me. I have been working out at the gym 1-2 times a week which is pathetic for a 'personal trainer.' I feel as though I am lacking in information about training due to my lack of gym time and study time, so all the money I put into the classes is a waste of money right now. I haven't even finished my group fitness certification because I haven't gone to enough group classes over the last 3 months. I've lost my house and bike keys - so I was forced to leave my bike at the last job site I was at and have been bumming my boyfriend's car off of him. I forgot to give my brother his grad gift - even though I've had 2 opportunities too. I can't keep up with the diet plan Kelsey and I have. I can't find my  phone once every 1-2 weeks. Though it sounds like I have a lot saved I'm worried I'll either go into debt or have to work too much while I'm in school as it's not enough yet to pay for my expenses. 

I love my boyfriend. Adam is far from perfect but he might likely be the sweetest guy ever. Knowing at the end of the day that I will go into his arms makes everything brighter. Honestly, when I'm with him, all of my problems are smaller or disappear because the happiness and support he offers is so overpowering. Not only am I head over heels in love with him, I trust him. I do. It's not easy for me to trust - it does take a little effort. But I feel that is okay because I'm new at this trusting boys thing. I have always focused on the fact that, me being vulnerable and them being human, mistakes and pain would ensue. However, just because he's human and has the potential, doesn't mean he's GOING to hurt me. Like a strong friendship, misunderstandings happen but you work through them and come out stronger because of how much you truly care about and need each other. I know Adam loves me for the right reasons, and I have faith that he will always be there fore me. He loves me back.

Growing vs. Grown

Where am I?

Where am I going?

Where to do I want to be?

Where do I want to go?

What's important to me?

What do I value?

Are there limitations?

I'm living with my boyfriend and his family. I'm working, trying to save up for school but not reaching the amount that I was hoping for. It's weird that I don't have more money in the bank because I feel as though I am working ALL THE TIME. I'm sleeping with my boyfriend but I thought I believed firmly in waiting till marriage for that type of intamicy. I'm in a state of confusion.

I'm going to school in September - Burnaby or Surrey; probably should figure out the city. I'm going to be working and going to school. Hopefully not working too much.

I want to be in Africa. I want to be helping others. I want to be making a difference.

What's important to me?

What do I value?

Are there limitations?

Time. TIMETIMETIMETIMETIME.
Stretched so far, often lost track of and speeding by faster than any of us can keep up with, time is something difficult to grasp - like a word said too many times too fast, it loses its identity.

How shall we spend it?
