As Time Goes On

We coming down to the last 2 weeks of skills, everyone has Biking and Canoe Tripping 1. But some people like myself have electives on the weekends as well. I have Trail guiding for biking this weekend, then Canoe Tripping 2 the following weekend. I am extremely excited for Canoe Tripping 2. We get the chance to plan and set up our own canoe trip for the weekend. Should be very productive and experiential. Should be interesting to see how well the trip planning goes, its going to be hard to organize everything, especially that were trying to work together as a group. The easy part will be food because were doing all individual food packing. The hard part will be determining the route, and campsites.

Once all the skills are done, we'll start having 4 days off a week, which will be great amounts of time to catch up on all of my assignments and projects which the deadlines for are drawing nearer. Its gonna be tight to get everything done in time for there due dates.

New Semester New Challenges

My first time posting this semester, definitely won't be the last. As a second year there is a whole new pile of things to deal with. There are nice advantages to being a second year too though, like the added respect between instructors and teachers. There is a level of trust that has developed between us which allows for greater learning and more developed skills to be acquired. I am loving skills and the electives I have chosen. I have done my Solo white water canoeing and looking forward to my advanced bicycle elective this coming weekend, then my canoeing tripping 2 elective the weekend after.

Projects are starting to pile up and everyone is starting to stress. But I believe that once I get back on task all these worries will become the past. Also getting my osap will help a lot with all my current issues.

Till next I post I leave an inspiration message I left as my facebook name for a while.

"Fear is the mind killer. To truly learn to be unarfraid you must first come to terms with what fear is. Nothing but the unkown and that which fears us most is the little essence of darkness. You must realize that no matter how fear manifests its just in your head, and in there You are the word of power. The mind can overcome it all, as long as you allow it"
