Hi again!

Wow, lots of things are kinda new in my life. I am officially a graduate of the Univeristy of Guelph Environmental Science Program! I should be proud but it still doesn't feel real... maybe after my convocation. I'm having a bit of a crisis, which I imagine is not uncommon, where I don't know what to do now! I've been in school basically my whole concious life. Obviously i've had summer jobs and worked full time during covid, but its so different. I've been working for this piece of paper my whole life, and whats next?

Exciting stuff is what. So many cool jobs in the conservation and ecology sphere, many of them I'd have to move away from my friends =( I love them all but maybe it would be good for me.. I for sure need to get out of my suburban cage. One job was working in the georgian bay on wetland conservation. DROOL. But who knows! I've been applying to lots of place, and so much could change in the next little bit... who knows where i'll be this time next year!

And also, happy new year! 2026 baybeee, no big new years resolutions for me except keep up the good work with being healthy and doing stuff even when it's hard =) I started playing board games with a few of my friends, read a few books, been thinking of getting back into tcg's now that I'm unemployed, music is always constantly happening with no eta, but I'm having fun. I'm often enourmosuly depressed but on days when the fog clears my life is pretty good.

Birthday is fast approaching, always hard to get through it. I was gonna do something but I feel bad knowing I'll be miserable.. plus it's the corporate day of love! gotta buy those greeting cards .3. but yeaah idk. Gonna be a really hard day for me. I wonder if it ever gets easier, but humans have been asking that since the dawn of time.

ANYWAY MENTAL ILLNESS IS HARD but I have some smart, compassionate and very cool friends. And my life is pretty awesome. and I have great things ahead of me. I'm gonna try and do more regular (possibly weekly) blog posts to keep a handle on my life and the every advancing armada of time. If you're reading this out there, hello from the other side! Send me an email and tell me about your life =)

Until next time!
