Co-op decisions...

 I'm enrolled in a co-op program at my university and after completing second year, I spend every other term in school or at work somewhere. I spent last summer working at a nuclear facility as the Emergency Preparedness Assistant and loved it! The only problem is that it was in the middle of no where. Tiny town of 4000 people and no public transportation. What they DO have is bears, wolves, and intense snowfall. As exciting as it would be to experience a "real" Canadian winter, I do not have a car and I'm not sure if I will be comfortable with being 7 hours away from family and friends with no way to visit.

So now I received an offer to work in Ottawa for a placement that is not exactly related to my future goals, or work in Toronto doing a job that seems more applicable...

So since yesterday I am officially moving to Toronto in January to work a very bureaucratic job that is exactly in downtown. I should be ecstatic but to be honest, I am a little nervous. The work environment seems very strict and cold and the job will involve very little "hands-on" projects. And life in Toronto...I'm not sure that T.O. and I will get along. I just spent 4 months in a tiny community in northern Ontario and now I am to move to the biggest city in Canada?

I feel like such a country mouse.

Statement of Purpose

Yes, I am supposed to be writing a paper about Jurgen Habermas, some philosopher I have never heard of, but then I had a thought. If this dude was not 90-something, and was my age, would he be still using books to document his ideas? Maybe would he be one of those people that spend their time on philosophical blogs where they all argue nonsense (no offense intended Mr. Habermas). That is when I realized that I should make one with ideas that aren't philosophical! I would consider myself a girl of many different interests and experiences that I could share with people that are looking for something lighter to read. And even if absolutely no one reads it, at least I will have a bit of a more productive method of procrastination. 

I keep on thinking of all the directions that this blog is going to go and let me tell you; it's going to be a disaster.

A friend of mine told me that I don't think in a straight line. My thoughts explode and criss-cross and jump from one idea to the next. So please excuse the random topics, and the varied themes. I am thinking that this is going to be a project to document personal growth and accumulation of knowledge, whether relevant to my education or not.

Anticipated topics include:

-Emergency Management

-Urban Planning

-Fashion

-Food

-Health

-Polish-ness

-Relationships

-Travel

-Student Life

-Whatever comes to this crazy mind!
