Intro-why I'm writing this blog.

My name is Jennifer and this is my blog.

WARNING

Before I go any further, I have to say I doubt this blog is going to be particularly interesting. I don't say that because I reckon myself to be a boring person, but I do plan to write in this everyday. And someone's day-to-day details cannot be exciting ALL the time.

So why I am I bothering to write a less-than-stellar blog?

1. I forget things!

I wrote a blog while I was in Korea to communicate with friends and family in Canada. However, I find myself looking back at that blog every month or so. I re-remember things about my life with every reading. That has to be worth writing a blog.

2. I am on a self-improvment tear

I have been doing a lot lately to try and make myself feel the best I can; to be the most complete person I can be. I have cut WAY back on drinking, been eating better, exercising more, and I have been getting out of bed at 8am almost every morning, and going to bed at midnight (what a difference that makes). Anyway, when I wrote about my tonsillectomy, I forced myself not to be too negative about the experience (because I didn't want mom to freak). And you know what? I don't look back at that experience as negative. So maybe if I write about my life from this psycho positive perspective, then that's how I'll remember my life. Worth a shot anyway.

So that's the why.

Now for some background information:

1. I am working as a waitress in a pretty nice restaurant.

2. I am living with a roommate and her cat and dog, but I am moving into my own place in one month!

3. I have applied to the graphic design program at NSCC (which is my newly discovered passion) but I am on the waitlist. I emailed them on Friday to ask if I could get into the program in Cape Breton, and am now holding my breath waiting for a response. I REALLY want to get into school in September!

4. I will most likely be writing as soon as I wake up in the morning. So everything I write about happened yesterday.

That's it. Here begins the diary. Hold onto your hats.
