I had planned on taking my blog back to my old one and for a while I did. Sorry for the very long silence on this end.
Things changed for my SWAP Ireland plans however I’m trying to get them back on track and I HOPE to be able to go anytime between March and October of 2015. Right now all I am trying to do is save up the money that I need and I will then register and get everything sorted out. Fingers crossed that it actually happens this time around.
Keep on smiling 🙂
Hello All,
I’ve decided to go back to dear old blogspot. Now I have nothing against wordpress, but thought if I’m going to carry on with my blogging adventures, I’d like to go back to my nice familiar blog, that I started with, blogspot is where my blog began, and I feel that it should end (not today, but in the FAR future one day).
Most of you, or all of you should know by now that Dave and I have gotten back together. We had a nice 2 or 3 week break from our relationship, where we built a foundation of friendship which was muchly needed. I’d go into further details about things, but I want to try and keep my relationship as personal as I can from now on. I know it’s ok to talk about it, but I also now no longer feel the need to share every single detail with everyone. The relationship is between me and him, and I’d like to keep it that way. All I am going to say is that things are wonderful and we are very much in love!
Moving on from my relationship status, I believe most or all of you also know that I lost my job last month and have recently started working at Second Cup as a barista. I hate every single second of my new job, and although I know I’ve only had four shifts, I really don’t like the fact that I’m now back at the spot of forcing myself out of bed to go to a job that I hate just so I can pay my bills. I sincerely hope that something with a better pay, and that I will find more enjoyable comes my way soon. I have been applying for a lot of bilingual jobs, trying to use my French to my advantage but so far am having no luck there.Â
The game plan for next year is to get my GED, take either an Admin course or a Dental Receptionist course (I had my mind set on Dental Receptionist, but am now starting to think Dave is right and that I can do something more with my Bilingualism…Bilingualism, is that even a word?!), and take Driver’s Ed to finally get my drivers licence. Dave and I also want to take a first aid course together, and at the end of February we’ll be heading to Vegas for four nights, courtesy of Dave’s lovely parents, all of his family will be coming, and his brother Stephen will be getting married during our time there. I’m so excited about the trip and cannot wait to go. Needless to say I’m actually very much looking forward to 2014 and I hope that it’s actually going to be as good as I’m planning it to be.
That’s all for tonight, I should probably get some shut-eye, have to work in the morning!
Getting ready for Ireland. Okay so I’m not exactly getting ready for Ireland just yet. However I have been looking into things non-stop, am almost always finding something new to watch about Ireland, have talked to fellow swappers who are planning on doing the same thing, are over in Ireland already, or have gone and come back. I also have a to do list made out of things I need to do to prepare, I even have a packing list made out already, which is funny coz I still have no idea when my departure date would be.
Most everyone is aware of my recent break-up, and I have to admit to everyone that I am sort of hesitating about doing the whole Ireland thing because of my ex. He and I never stopped talking after the break-up, and have hung out a few times since, and it somewhat feels as though our relationship is getting stronger, and better since the break-up. Hopeless little romantic me may be hoping that maybe we’ll get back together, I don’t exactly care about what anyone would think of me for letting him back, if wants back, I’m not worried about any of that, the only thing that I do know is if we get back together, Ireland is out of the question; and to be completely honest the idea of losing Ireland for him doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
Now all of that being said, he and I should probably sit down together and have a very long talk about everything. We very well may both come to the conclusion that as much as we both care about each other, and want to be together, we just don’t work as a couple. For both of us to be completely happy, we just may happen to have to go our separate ways. It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who you care that much about, but if I know it’s for the best than everything will be OK; and although I used to be one of those “exes can’t be friends” people, the truth is why can’t they?!
Now to get back to Ireland, a lot of you may suddenly think “oh well the idea of giving up Ireland doesn’t bother her so she must not even really want it” you couldn’t be more than wrong. Yes I am willing to give up Ireland but only for love, the notion of giving it up for love is what makes it seem OK to lose Ireland,
I feel like this blog may be running a bit long, but I have a lot to say, so I apologize and please stay with me.
Some of you may know, and some of you may not know, that I am having some debt issues. The debt itself may not be that grand of a number, however it is still there. A big part of me is thinking maybe I should pay that off entirely before heading off to Ireland, and the idea of that has had me in tears. I cannot help but wonder when I’d finally manage to make my way to Ireland if I were to pay off my debt first. In the end of all ends though, everything budget wise can and will be sorted out, and I no longer feel complete anxiety over it. Good riddance!
Now I do have a few more things to say but as I feel this is already long enough (too long, maybe?!) I’ll end it here.

My first blog. Well my first blog here on wordpress that is. I have recently gone through a heartbreak, and decided it was time for new beginnings, so I have moved my blog to here.
On Monday I had a surgery (gallbladder removal), and am currently on day 3 or 4 depending on how you count it, of recovery, ironically enough it’s also day 4 after the break-up. So yes things aren’t exactly going splendidly at the moment, but things will get better!
I am planning on doing the SWAP Ireland program next year, rather I will be staying in Ireland for the full 2 year duration, or only for one year I have yet to decide but I still have lots of time left to plan, and work it all out. All that I do know is I cannot wait until I arrive in the Emerald Isles, its something I have always wanted to do, and now I’m actually going to do it.

So here is to new beginnings, dreams, possibilities, adventure, and a positive attitude.
