What’s in my Fortune Cookie…

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 | School

So, what fortune is to be told on this yearly anniversary of my birth? So much is yet to be revealed. I am hopeful for the best, the best is yet to come I am sure of it.

Despite the incredibly demanding new class (Business, Government and the international economy) pretty scary eh? I am trying to keep positive. Well, so far the average amount of reading is over 120 pages a week. Then a 7 page paper due by the end of the week, each and every week throughout June & July. Oh joy!

I have a wonderfully prospective employment opp, that I’m just obsessing over. Of course the 2nd interview just happens to be on my day of days. I am going to be given a sort of “test” which is what Ryan had to go through too, so I imagine it’s just protocol, but for them I know turnaround needs to be quick, so I can only hope that works in my favor. I’m keeping confident in me and positive in what I can do in the role there.

Still, only who really knows what the future holds. Throughout this journey I had come to terms with being labeled a “displaced worker” by the State of Oregon. Yes “displaced” is what I am officially being labeled as based on the skills assessment I had to take on their website. How encouraging is that. “Displaced” means I am low on the employability scale as my skills fit a niche that isn’t widespread, like say Accounting is.
So my plans before we have our guests here staying with us were…. gardening, painting, organizing, organizing and more organizing, however, I don’t think I’ll get to all of that, maybe just one of the organizing stages, at least that much so they can fit in the spare bedroom relatively comfortably…aka my office that is a total disaster.

Next Post - What was in my fortune cookie! - All will be revealed! I hope.

At least this has overshadowed my extreme displeasure in turning another year. It really is hard being female and feeling the societal pressures and expectations of one at such an age. With the number of pregnant women around me and even noticing just more and more, in the store , along Alberta, announced on the rado…it can make a girl wonder about the process of decision making in her life’s path. I know I need to do what is right for me and for R, but with all decisions, there are hundreds of other decisions that follow and while we may not know the perfect direction, we can only hope it leads us to where we eventually want to be.

Big question is, is this where I want to be right now? You Bet!
