Work, School, Gym, Eat, Sleep..

My title is a description of my life these past few days. I got a job at AltaCare Resources as a relief floater meaning that I will be working in the group homes. When a full-time staff worker is sick or on holidays, they give me a call and ask if I can come in... it'll be nice because it's flexible and I don't have to work if I am too busy with school or away. The only bad thing is not knowing when they are going to call, so I'm assuming it won't always be a steady income, still any income is better than none... so I'm happy. This week I have done the training for work Tuesday-Friday from 9-5. It's nice because we get paid for going to these trainings.. perfect time... right before I go Christmas shopping :) I have come down with a bit of a cold, which has added on to my exhaustion this week. I wake up every morning with my eyes close to glued shut with eye boogers and shuffle off to work for the day. I also have been kicking my own butt in the gym this week and haven't been this sore since I did the Jillian workout back in Korea last spring... so that has sure felt good too.

Last night I had Scott Leishman come over for dinner. I made some stirfry... my first time... and I think it was pretty successful. It's pretty hard to screw up with a bag of pre-mixed stirfry veggies and pre-cut chicken. The hardest part was trying to decide what sauces or spices to put on and being patient for the rice to be done cooking. Scott has two full plates, so I'll stick to assuming it was a success. Then we watched 'New Moon' with Michelle and Land. Scott pretends like he can't stand it, but secretly I think he loves the movies and is just as into them as us gals :) The 3rd movie comes out this Friday, so guess what we'll be doing Friday night!?!?!? You guessed it... watching 'Eclipse'. We have a 'Santa giveaway' Friday night from 7-10 where we bring any clothes or food we don't/won't use and take them around different families in need, so we'll start the movie after that :)

How important do I feel education is?

Well I grew up with the belief that school was one of my top priorities. Now this was not always the case in my life, but the stress and importance put on education has had a huge influence on the path I have taken through high school and college/university. I am in my 5th year of my post-secondary education and although I have never been a real lover of school, I do enjoy learning. I have found that when you are learning about something you truly care and are passionate about, it is a lot easier to be interested and put your whole heart into listening and learning in different classes. Not only is school education important, but I also think it is important to be well educated on a spiritual level also. I know that the more knowledge I receive and am reminded about with the church, I am more prone to live a happier and more motivating lifestyle and am able to share my beliefs and knowledge of the church with friends, family, and associates I am around daily. Education, in a broad sense, in important and can help us get a lot further in life in we use it in a positive and effective way.
