I cleaned my room!!

Now I just need to buy some storage boxes to put my little random items in my room :)
I went to Ikea on the weekend with TIm and Vicki and saw these REALLY nice boxes. OMG ikea is so dangerous, because now I want to make my room SOOOO nice, but i have no money. Regardless, I'm going to buy those nice boxes, they're called "Strikt", when I went back on tuesday, they were ALL gone, apparently they're very famous. Now I have many little things lying around but I will put them in after I get my strikt box.

I detail cleaned my room! I realized I haven't really done that for two years! (eww i know) I moved in to this new house for 2 years, and I still have some little things in my cupboards that I never really organized since I moved. I vacuumed all the cupboards and threw out a LOOOT of stuff!! YAY! i'm so proud of myself.

Since I got back, I met up with a lot of people i haven't seen for a while, it was really nice :) It's so nice seeing familiar faces.

This week, since school started, I've been going downtown for my classes. Yes i'm doing some part time school because I want to apply to grad school. Speaking of that, I've been doing a lot of thinking about my future. Before the summer, I knew that I had 3 different options I was looking forward to after I graduated:
1. Grad school for medical anthropology
2. study nutrition in college and eventually go into community nutrition
3. teach english overseas

I never really gave much thought about it until i came back. I know it's really my bad for such bad managing, but God has really led me through and has revealed to me some things. I've been forced to think about what I truly love, what i truly want to do. There are so many push-pull factors to achieve this that I probably held back a bit.

It's really reflected in how long it took me to clean my room.

Let me explain. When I returned from my trips, I saw my room and it was SOO dirty that I was lke "OMG this is going to take FOREVER".
I have a tendency to want to "give up" when i feel very overwhelmed. Or at least procrastinate.
That's how i handled my future. I procrastinated because i was just so overwhelmed with all the things that could stop me from achieving my goals, like..my marks, the application process, the possibility of being rejected, my parents, money, etc .etc.
Giving more thought to it this week, and attending some classes, I realized how much I love learning, and how much i love anthropology (yes the whole schpeel about my love for anthropology hahaha)...and how much I want to help others with my knowledge in medical anthropology.... it's really worth the shot.
I might not get in for sure, but I want to at least try.

To sidetrack a bit, while I was in Europe, I used a Czech SIM card, so I left my Canadian SIM card in my wallet. Unfortunately my wallet was STOLEN. Stupid me took a MONTH to realize that my Canadian sim card was in the wallet, so I forgot to report the loss immediately. So once i got back, i immediately called Rogers to cancel that account. The person told me that the last time they charged me was in JUNE. So i sighed a breath of relief...
This morning...my mom walked into my room, and she was like "WHY did you spend $700 talking on your cell?"
I was like "WHAT??T?!?!?!?!?!"
I saw that all the calls were made in VIENNA...and i KNEWWW for sure that my wallet was STOLEN and my simcard was USED.
OMGGG!! They were all used between the time I lost it and when i called to cancel the account. I lost it on July 27th, and all the calls were made in AUGUST, the time when i DID NOT have the sim card! AHHHHHHH I AM SO ANGRY

STUPID bad people

they are so so bad.

Okay so back to my dreams and goals.
I am looking forward to taking this brave step towards uncertainty and possibly, rejection. However, I will know at least that I'm not settling with just a JOB, because these couple of weeks of "job hunting" has made me think about how i vowed to myself 2 years ago that i did not want to just SETTLE. I really want to fight for social injustice with a medical anthropology degree. I want to do more than just....get by.
