First of
all I would like to wish each and everyone the very best for the next chapter
in your life! January 1st doesn’t only gives the green light for 365
new days, but it also gives you the opportunity to discover new things, travel,
work out, and most of all just enjoy life.
For all my
friends and family in Belgium, this is for you:
" Nieuwjareke zoete, ons varken heeft 4 voeten.
4 voeten en ne staart.
Is dat dan geen centje waard ? :-) "
I’ve really
tried to come up with some New Year Resolutions for 2015, but in the end it all
came down to the following “Live my life to the fullest so I can go to bed
every night with a big smile on my face”. This means that I’ll work out, eat
healthier, travel, enjoy the little things in life, and of course study…which
isn’t that different from 2014 to be honest :-)
During the
past 3 weeks I’ve been bored to death, as Cranbrook unfortunately isn’t a very
lively city at all. A lot of people left to celebrate the Holidays with their
family, which meant that only about 10 people were still residing in the
Purcell House Residence. We did however try to make the best of it with a
potluck on Christmas Eve, but it’s still not quite the same as being home for
the Holidays.
I worked quite
a bit, went swimming a couple of times, slept in, organized my room, and
watched a lot of TV series to kill the time. Guess it’s needless to say that I’m
happy that College starts again tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM! I’m completely
ready for the second part of my first year as a Tourism and Recreation
Management student. This time I decided to take on 7 courses including 1 where
we will earn industry certifications, which will increase our chances for future
employment.
The next
semester also provides us with a lot of opportunities to relax and enjoy the
Canadian life. We’ll probably go to some hockey games, head to Calgary to watch
the Calgary Flames, go skiing for 2 days in Panorama, and enjoy breakfast at
the College in our pajamas :-) Pretty sure it will be the end of April before I
know it!
