Feeling crumby and excited at the same time?

Ever noticed how life sorta runs along side you, building up till it's big enough to jump you? Picture a plain guy running along, minding his own business (that's me), and - it's like a car keeping up with a train nearby- you look over to the side and there's life speeding along, keeping the pace fast, but steady. Then you notice that it's collecting stuff as it goes along... a sprained ankle here, big can of doodoo there, some weighty decisions, and maybe a few crazy events that don't really fit in... And finally, when it can't really find anymore for the moment, it jumps over and comes crashing down on the poor guy! WHAM! Ya got company... and they call it life. :o

*chuckles* okay, maybe I haven't had enough sleep lately. ;o)
I'm going to Camosun College for a two week course, starting Monday. I wasn't gonna be able to do it because it was full when I heard about it, but I was registered for it anyway, and now it seems there's a place for me. It's a trades awarness course, which should be really neat. I'll be able to take a look at all of the construction trades, and see if I really do want to be an electrician. I'm excited about it, but I'm also really disappointed... The last week of it falls on my camp Imadene week, which means I had to make a choice between camp or half the course. And since I'm paying for the course, and because it's a great oppertunity, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say no to camp. :oS I also feel bad for those who were counting on me for my part of the program team. :o I still might end up going, but only if they can't find anyone else. I hate decisions like this.

...now that I'm feeling like a terribly unreliable person... I can't think of anything else I was gonna say. :o$
I got some new work boots yesterday... for 75% off. :oO They've been sitting in Will's store for a long time, so they were marked down very much. Will says that most people don't buy size 12, which seems kinda strange. Maybe it was the price though... ;o) They're pretty much the same boots the Canadian Military uses though, so they're definately on the quality side of things. *is happy with them* :oD

OH! yes... I finally got my paintball gun. :oD *likes it very much* I feel like a more completed kid now. *grins* It's great fun, but for those who tell me that I'm much too old for toys and that I should be buying tools instead... I point to the warning on the box which says '...this is NOT a toy...'. :oD *sheepish* ANYWAY...

Off to do more school....
