Life, The Universe, and Everything....

Wow. I know it's been a while. I've had a busy schedule for the last few months, and it doesn't look like it's slowing down any time soon. Let's do the "New Years Resolution" thing, since it's what most people post in January blogs.

I suppose it's not really so much of a New Years Resolution, as it is me finally deciding I need to be back in shape. I know, pretty typical of a resolution, but as I said, it's not a resolution. :) It's been going well so far, I haven't lost much weight, but I feel healthier, and stronger, and that's what I was aiming for. Health isn't about being as tiny as possible, it's about proper nutrition and exercise. (Sorry anorexic teenage girls, you've got it wrong.)

I've also made a decision that I've been mulling over for a while, and it ties in to the getting into shape bit. I'm going to join the Canadian Army Reserves part-time. It's a good paying job, offers some good benefits, and is relatively flexible as far as hours go, since it's part-time. Also, it looks pretty darn good on a resumé. :)

The biggest decision I've made this year, however, is to go back to school. I've been looking into courses at the Universities in Atlantic Canada, and I've decided that I'm going to apply to every one of them that offers a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I've also been looking at some careers after University, and I've narrowed it down to a few I think would be interesting, exciting, and fulfilling.

I would either like to work for a Canadian Federal position, such as an Intelligence Officer for C.S.I.S. or for the Department of Foreign Affairs. Another career track that's really catching my attention is serving in the United Nations.

I'll keep you posted on any developments. As always, post any thoughts or feelings.
