Life Unlimited

Here I am back in waterloo, in my new apartment/condo (the landlord advertised it as a condo but it's really an apartment, lol)! I'm starting to settle into this new place. I like it here, alot more homey then living in rez. There's a mix of feelings seeing all the frosh... remembering how when i first moved in everything just kinda went in a blur... it didn't feel real. Wow, time just goes by so quickly... another summer gone, another milestone in life. I just really hope that in this yr i'll really learn how to live an unlimited life. To really seize every opportunity, learn to dream, and to use all my skills and abilities to serve God.

It's been a good summer... a much more 'educational' summer then all the other ones i've had. Maybe cuz i had four months i really felt i needed to do something... to work, to use my time being productive. For the first two months i wasn't doing much... just doing some volunteering. But it was in that time that i really had to learn to just 'be still', to spend time with God and i'm still learning. It was also during that time that i really felt the urge to connect back with my high school friends. It seemed to me at the time such a small goal, but God really works through the small things. Just hanging out with old friends makes a difference in one another's lives cuz friendships are so easily lost when we decide we need to 'move on' in our lives. I was glad i took the initiative to talk to my high school friends cuz God opened a door of opportunity for me to share my faith with one of them.

Working at wonderland got me to see alot of different people, and learning how to deal with people. It was definetly a learning experience, people wise. Dealing with ridiculous guests really developed a firmer character in me and the job of rides operator really pushed me out of my bubble. It wasn't a difficult job... except for the scorching heat and rude people... but i learned alot from it. On my last day of work i felt sad saying goodbye to everyone... i didn't expect to be sad cuz i wanted to finish work and just hv fun before school started. It was the thought, i guess, that none of our crew will ever meet again with everyone in it. I wasn't tight with everyone but i felt like i was just starting to get to know some of the crew in a deeper level. When i finished work and left wonderland for good it was like a small chapter of my life just ended.

And now going on to second yr, another chapter, another story is just about to begin.
