Life is still very exciting for me simply because I can see so many possibilities ahead of me. I know not all of them can happen; there just isn't enough time but that i snot the point. What actually matters is that I can see what I need to do right now to makes sure I keep those possibilities out there so that when the time comes I'm ready to act or at least to choose.
I like to plan in three stages. First I have short term plans, along with medium term plans and finally long term plans. Many of them are interconnected but not all. For instance some things in my immediate timeframe [today and tomorrow, and maybe the next day] have no extension beyond then. Other things do. What I have for breakfast is relatively unrelated to the next day but reading today for a class on Wednesday is integral.
In the medium term I am looking ahead to April when I will know if I am getting a SSHRC scholarship for my doctoral studies. By that time I will know if I have been accepted by Concordia and/or the University of Calgary [yeah - you read correctly]. My short term plan was to get my applications all together and in by the deadlines. With everything in place it becomes possible for me to decide if I am going to start on my doctorate in the next school year.
The other option is to travel and to work overseas, saving money for school later. I have started researching overseas opportunities so that I will be prepared to look for work if that is what I decide to do.
Meantime on definite plan is a really nice vacation somewhere exotic and warm. I do have family I could visit but for now I am focusing on going somewhere that I will be pampered and spoiled. We all need that occasionally and I am really looking forward to spending my next birthday, on a beach, sipping a tall cool drink and soaking up the tropical sun. Oh - and having someone rubbing sunscreen down my back.
