I am sick and tired of winter.
The temperature is an endless yo-yo.
Warming up just enough to melt the ice.
Then plunging back down to nearly -40 (with the wind).
I am finding it extra frustrating today, as I feel I need to go for a run, or a bike ride, but I'm not going to brave the -25 C (-13 F) to release my frustration. Instead I'm going to try venting here - taking time away from doing my homework.
There are a number of things I feel frustrated at, some I should / could deal with / change myself, some I can't. The weather is one I can't.
A couple of them are simple mind sets I need to change, and focus on sudden, yet not too un-expected, events that happened.
On Saturday a housemate of mine informed me he was moving out by the end of the month. Took me by surprise, and this means I have to start looking for another housemate.
Today I found out that the job I was hoping for in Calgary may not be there. Disappointing, but not unexpected. There is still a possibility it might be there, but I was told not to hold out for it.
I was partly relying on the money from that job to pay my tuition, and perhaps some house repairs.
The flipside though, is that I can possibly focus on my studies and get courses done over the summer and be finished by and working by January 2010 - though I'll be in a fair amount of debt (if I can even get the loans).
Well that's it for this rant. I lost my steam through it as I was chatting with a friend about publishing and producing media (t.v. and movie scripts - for a friend of mine).
