I remember back in September, when I just got to Calgary, I had trouble unpacking all of my belongings. The knowledge that I am not going to be staying here for any extended amount of time makes it tough to unpack. Fast forward to now, I am finding the same thing. I told my parents that I'd have all my things cleaned up and put back, but I haven't done that yet.
-- Intermission for a couple StarCraft games --
Okay, well.. I lost those games. Anyways, as I was saying, it's tough for me to find any motivation or incentive to unpack everything when I know I'm going to be leaving again in a few months. So, for the people that basically live out of suitcases, props to you!
As for the job hunting, I need to keep applying until I can get myself an interview. I was told that it is harder to find a job now than it was my last time around. Just great. Either way, I need to work; so I'm going to have to pretty much apply for anything and everything until I get one. So, if you're reading this and know of some places that may be hiring, let me know!
With everything else, it is pretty chill right now. I'm staying up late, sleeping in, not doing a whole lot. The only thing on TV that I find worth watching is hockey since the playoffs and World Championships are on - and probably the random movie that I find interesting.
Since there's still about two months until summer REALLY kicks into gear, trying to get things started will be slow and tough. I desperately want to start exercising again, so hopefully there will be enough people up for playing soccer soon. And unfortunately, the chances of having game two of English versus Chinese in hockey are pretty slim. The gym is booked up completely! I guess we always have soccer, which should be more evenly matched. I would like to be bold and say that if we do manage a rematch in hockey, the English side will win by an even bigger goal differential; I will personally contribute to at least 15 goals - goals and assists added together, of course. But, since we haven't booked the gym yet, I can't defend my claim.
I think I also want to make a huge effort to hang out with people more often. I still find myself being rather strange on the whole introvert/extrovert scale. Yes, I need to be alone sometimes. But at the same time, I can get so energized when I am with friends and people that I care about. A big goal of mine is to be able to build some really strong relationships, so I'm going to work at it.
I'm also really excited at the prospect of being able to play with full worship teams again! Without needing to think about leading, playing in a worship team is probably amongst my favorite activities. This past weekend, a nice lady came to our church to train our voices. It's so obvious that so many of us needed the help. It was quite funny how everything she says that singers will do that is bad, I do them. What has helped me in my experience of singing is when I started recording myself. It's been beaten to death by now, but I must state again that I'm an incredibly fast learner. By studying my own flaws in my recordings, and listening and watching others, I know what I need to work on. It just takes too much practice. But I know that I will never be a very good singer, so I won't be leading much worship from here on out.
Forget about the price tag!
