Im Baaaack

I am finally finished school - for the foreseeable future anyways. It was a stressful last month between classes, applying for jobs/internships (although not many, as I will explain) and some health problems I have been dealing with for a couple of months now. Unfortunately something had to give in my schedule and this blog was one of the things that had to go on the back burner until some time freed up.

Today was my first day off and I am going to have the next couple of months to look after me and put some effort into some of my passion projects. It is an exciting time and I am really looking forward to this opportunity to decompress and plot out my future path. I have spent the last 20 years in school and this will be the first time when I won't be going back after the summer. My future is ahead and I don't have a clue what it will look like.

As I said my health took a bit of a turn a couple of months ago and its been a tad stressful. I had some neurological problems and as a result I am seeing a naturopath to help me get sorted out. I have been put on a slew of supplements and vitamins, revamped my entire diet, and I am about to embark on a heavy exercise program. My diet has been the tough part to get a grasp on as I can't eat wheat, dairy, mushrooms, vinegar, red meat and fried foods. Its been a rough 6 weeks I tell you! While my health problems aren't something to be happy about, I think they are a blessing in disguise. I wasn't paying attention to myself or giving myself the necessary time and this i just a reason to get back to myself. I have set a goal of losing 35 pounds by the end of the year, and 25 of those in the next 3 months. I will make sure to give some monthly updates to let you know how I am doing.

As for jobs/internships, I have been looking and expect that something will come up that both fits me and I fit as well. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for an opportunity but in the meantime I am also going to enjoy the relaxation that this brief respite will give me. There are so many things I want to do and I could really use this time to sort it all out.

I want you to know I have been collecting lots of interesting information to pass on to you readers and things will be a lot more regular now. So stay tuned and let others know about this blog.
