Life...

After more than a week of phone tag, I finally got to sit down and talk on the phone for an hour with someone from Statistics Canada. They are doing a survey about family and stuff. I love surveys and when I was a kid I used to be followed throughout the years to be one of the students that appeared in statistics. I loved it and was very excited that Zoe has the chance to participate in those activities too.

Then I did some searching on the web for the program that I WILL go back to school for. I am planning to go back to being a student in fall 2005, the program is Pharmacy Technical Assistance. I've checked for loans and I could be awarded almost more than I actually make right now to study!!! How crazy is THAT? Then I could start a year later to work at a salary that is 50% more than I make now. A great motivation too is that I know I have friends that will push me into keeping at it even when I find it tough.

To finish this little entry, I just noticed that I lost 4lb. Yay! Not that I'm trying very hard but it's nice to see that the scale is showing something good. LOL! I am actually going to go buy an exercise dvd today, not sure I should say which one but I think I may learn a thing or two from it. LOL!

hugs,

I think it's very cool that you want to go back to school! It sure looks like it would be the good choice for you, salary-wise. I'm thinking of going back too, but only part-time. Oh and please tell which exercise DVD you're buying. I have a bit of a collection but I've gotten bored with them so I want to buy new ones. Suggestions would be nice ;) Posted by: Caroline at March 12, 2005 08:05 PM
YESSSSS!!! That's what I like to hear...you WILL go back and you have a definite target date. Excellent! And I, too, want to know what those DVDs are...actually, if you could tell me what the yoga ones in French are, that would be great too. The Pilates is really good, by the way. And since you're back into yoga, you won't fall out of the positions as much as I do ;-))) (the backward roll holding the legs in the air is particularly humourous...I feel like a Weeble...)
