Day One
Hundred and Ninety-Four: Short Term
The heat
has been neauseating today and yesterday to the point where we have the air
conditioning turned up so high that a sweater is necessary. I will not complain, because in the grand
scheme of things temperature and weather are mostly day-to-day and remembering
if a day was beautiful or not only matters on your wedding day and if you’re
going to the beach. If you’re sitting in
an office it doesn’t matter too much, but bringing eight blind kids to an
outdoor pool? It’d be great if it didn’t
rain.
Camp has
been lovely, and although I only attended the first two days I will be there
all of this week, as well as writing some work-related things and maintaining
sanity somewhere in there. Work has
never really been “work” for me before at the CNIB because of all of the
amazing people I work with, and the positive energy that exudes from our
office. I am so lucky to be working in
such a community that people support eachother whole-heartedly.
Thinking of
work prospects is daunting lately, work is one of those things that I believe
you should enjoy and feel needed and feel that it is worth it. I want to enjoy what I do and feel like I am
contributing and productive. I think
that’s why I love working with organisations that work towards helping people,
and working on projects and programs that support people.
As for
right now I am not sure if I can handle working through my school term, because
as it stands working while doing a semester of university coursework is not
only a headache but recipe for something worse than disaster: unbelievable stress. I am having a hard time with only two
classes, not to mention five. But I will
be volunteering and working on different projects, as well as finishing my
degree’s.
If anything
I just want to feel productive. That is
key for me, because otherwise I feel like I am useless. If I don’t feel needed or worth than my
motivation runs away. Oh motivation,
that fox, always escaping. But really,
it sems like the more I think about work and school and the future the more
doors and opportunities become available, which is pretty neat to me.
So no more
stressing about the future, life is too fleeting to really focus on that much,
to wory about that much, and not to smile along the way. Happy Sunday, everyone.
