3 exams done and 1 to go. All that's left is law. The only requirement is to read and retain about 200+ pages of stuff and then apply it to cases or some nonsense like that. It should be fairly routine. Today was a very non-productive day of studying but I guess I owe it myself. I wrote my MIS final in the morning, went to Mikey's for lunch, and then mailed my completed tax forms. It turns out that I overpaid taxes to the U.S. government and will be getting a tax refund hopefully in the next 6-8 weeks. Props to Tim for helping me do the U.S. and Canadian taxes. Without his help, I would probably be still sitting here figuring out which columns to add and which ones to fill in.

Tomorrow's supposed to be hella warm HOT... like 27 degrees. Craaazy. Did you bring your shorts? I did. I didn't bring an air conditioner though.

The weather's been nice again lately. It's been consistently warm but a little rainy at times. It feels weird walking home after working out at the gym with sweat on my body that doesn't evaporate instantly (ya i know it's gross but I do shower when I get home - i'm just not a big fan of the wide open shower spaces at the PAC). I distinctly remember a couple of weeks ago when I walked outside after visiting the PAC. The feeling was like walking into a freezer - any sign of persperation that I had on my arms or face instantly disappeared. Now the temperature outside is occasionally warmer than the temperature inside. Perhaps this is a true sign that Spring is here - and it's here to stay.

The whole idea of a full-time job still scares me. I cannot picture myself working at a company day-in and day-out for a long period of time unless I clearly enjoy the work that I do. Even still, devoting myself 5 days a week for work alone is a huge sacrafice. I'll be giving up a significant portion of my life to work. I'm not sure if I'm really ready to give up my life for work. I mean, some people have bought into the 9-5 lifestyle and have just accepted it. I know that I'm skeptical now, but I'll eventually have to buy into it. There's bills to pay, mouths to feed, rent to pay, and student loans to pay off.

The trick is to obviously find something that I'll enjoy. I'm not sure what that is at this moment. It'll probably take a few tries before I actually find my dream job. And when I do, I'll be the kid with the big smile and a sparkle in my eyes.
