Janiceeee :)

Today, I am going to make an attempt to post as often as I can about my awesome days. Not trying to go into this negatively, but I do stink at keeping up with things like these, so I’m going to aim for a post a week. HAHA.

Anyways, last week was pretty exciting for me. I finally decided to go on Impact, and I purchased my air tickets because of the awesome seat sale!! I constantly wonder, what is it that I do that makes God so good to me?! Now that everything feels so legit, I just need to support raise and find myself a job. I feel like everything will slowly fall into place, so no need to panic yet. I really cannot wait to see what is in stored for me this summer. I have heard that Impact is the best AND hardest summer of your life. I hope I have the motivation, strength, and courage to make it through this summer. I think the toughest thing for me will be leaving behind all my family and friends. I have never been away from home for so long, and I hate to admit that I’m afraid. I think as long as I keep myself together, and with the help of the Lord, I should be fine. I feel as though He will provide for me, and the team will definitely be there for me too. :) I’m so excited. I really hope I get to Impact someone the way I was too! 

I was kind of disappointed today when one of my EPs decided that he didn’t want to do an internship anymore because of the lower salary than working in Ottawa. It was disappointing that I could not convince him to do it. In a way I understand his decision, but I think my opinions are just really different, because I see an international internship as something so rewarding. To have the chance to go to a different country, gain international work experience, travel, and network with different people around the world. I think it would be an amazing culture shock!! I can’t wait till I go abroad for studies or an internship. I know that not everyone in the world is fortunate enough to get opportunities like this. As greedy as it sounds, I really want to take advantage of the opportunity if and when I get a chance. Imagine how cool it would be to be 25 or 26 and say that you have seen SOOO much of the world! It seriously blows my mind!! It filled me with so much excitement yesterday when Gord, from PwC, said that we should travel before getting a job after university, because once you work, it’s SO hard to find the time to travel. I think it all depends on the person though, because some people go once a year for 2 weeks or so, but some people just never take the chance to travel because they’re too afraid to step out of their comfort zones, and steer off the normal path that most people take. I really hope that I do travel, and don’t let any of that fear consume me. I think it’s one of those things that I’ll let time decide for me. :) 

Now today, I kept contemplating.. when was it that I got so side tracked from school and stopped paying attention in class? Yesterday’s networking event made it so clear to me that I really need to set myself apart from all the other accounting students at Telfer. I really admired a lot of the students last night. They have such good networking skills! It’s actually very sick, but then I realize.. shit I’m competing with them next year! I wonder what it is that set’s me apart from everyone. I don’t want to go into anything negatively, but serious, I need to get my act together this summer. I really want to work for Deloitte or PwC or even Ernst & Young, or KPMG. I guess one of the top 4 haha.

I really need to touch up on my school this semester because six classes is really killing me :| I’m just so lucky in university they don’t send report cards home to the parents. Sigh* so much expectations from the parents. I am so thankful I have them though. I really cannot imagine what I would do if anything ever happened to them. It would literally drive me crazy. Anyways, I hope I am not complaining, I might sound a bit pessimistic, but I think putting on a smile, and telling myself I can accomplish my goals will really convince me that I can. Not to forget the many people who are counting on me and supporting me. I can’t let them down! 

Typing is so much faster than writing in a journal! And although my post is literally all over the place, maybe I’ll get used to this whole blogging thing. I hope I continue to do it while I’m on Impact! :D 

Accept the things that you cannot change, and you will feel better

Feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to be off my chest :) Now I can concentrate on exams.. YAY! SOOOO EXCITING?! :|

Lesson of the day:

What’s worst? To be rejected, or to reject someone?

Def. To be rejected.

But hey.. props to him.. he was so nice and sweet :) gahhhh :)  <3

So this is pretty exciting cause I just signed up for tumblr :) not sure how much I’m going to post on this, and I don’t really even know what this is, but it seems pretty cool. I just finished watching The Ugly Truth and Ninja Assassin. They were good. Hopefully I’ll have time to watch the A-Team and The Expendables tomorrow :D! Thanks to reading week! WHOOT!!!
