So much has happened in the past 2 months - truly an emotional rollercoaster ride! Now that everything is back on track (sort of), I guess this is a good time to get back to blogging! I DID make it my New Year's resolution to maintain this blog as best as possible (though I must admit I'm doing a bad job of it at the moment...) So I guess I should do a quick update on the key events that have happened in my life.
1. Change in career goals. I had an amazing summer working an accounting internship with awesome coworkers, interns (I love them!), and clients. I was fully going to pursue the CA designation and continue my employment but after a whole lot of soul-searching and reflection, I have decided that the accounting route is not for me. My interest has always been in marketing and even if I did pursue a CA, my end goal would be to enter the marketing field. Sooooo after lots of tears and a heart wrenching decision, I have now decided that I am going to pursue marketing and explore different career options in this field. People think I'm crazy for leaving a full-time job offer in this economy but I have a strong feeling that I'll be much happier doing something I am passionate about... and that's definitely marketing.
2. New relationship. It's been about half a year since my breakup with my ex-boyfriend from a 2.5 year relationship and though I've already moved on, I can officially say I have a new boo! :) I've known him since summer of 2008 but things didn't click together until just recently this winter. It's weird how these things work since I've always just considered him as a friend. But anyways, January 31st is our official day and since then we've been able to celebrate Valentine's Day together - we went on a pastry adventure, mini putting, dinner at Six Steps, and then skating at Harbourfront. :) He's travelling in China right now and I miss him... lots! Currently feeling quite lonely.... it sucks.
3. Graduation. It's coming so soon and I really don't know how I feel about it! I'm happy that it's almost done and I don't have to write any papers and exams in a long time but I don't feel ready to leave this institution! It feels so safe here! Especially since I don't have a job lined up at the moment, I don't want to leave school yet without a solid plan laid out. I'm feeling extremely nostalgic (especially from looking at my photos from frosh week), and it makes me sad to realize there's approximately 4 weeks left of school. I'm going to miss this lifestyle so much... the freedom and independence, the convenience, and my friends here. Grad photos and grad formal are next week for me. It's another step closer to graduation. I feel like I should be making the most out of the rest of the time I have in Kingston.
So those are the updates for now and I'm hoping to be more diligent with updating my blog. Fingers crossed it happens!
Me and Ryan :)
