It feels like it's been forever and then some, months upon months have gone by, and I haven't seen so many ppl.

I really want to use the holiday season to see people to chill and catch up with, its been way to long.

In Jan. I'll be starting work at a law firm, Phil Rankin's office to be exact; I'll get to be involved in defending people who have been charged with criminal offences. That means going to court, carrying around a lot of files, helping in interviewing witnesses and extensive discussions with legal aid. I'm looking forward to this new challenge after being at the Cancer Society for the last 8 months and practicing for the LSAT. I mean it's been good, I mean I'm good at my job, I love the people I work with, and I get to chill with my best bud 5 or more days a week; but I'm in need of change, I need a test and I need to grow.

I have to say thanks for all the well wishes that I received from all the people who wished me luck for my LSAT which lasted 7 + hours, it was gruelling! I have to especially say thanks to the bucket man, my main study colleague just for being company on some very long study sessions at SFU.

I'm trying to keep this a short entry so I'll reemphasize my point that if I haven't seen you for awhile, which can mean anywhere from a year a month or even a week ago I want to chill. After all it's the Xmas season time for love and friendship. So if you can spare me some time, drop me a line or just leave a message.

It's been a lifetime and then some since I've last updated. Anyhow I just want to let you know how I'm doing.

Since I last wrote, I turned 23 this past September 30 (thanks for remembering, for those who called me or msged me) and for those who forgot, its okay I guess you just don't know me well enough or know me anymore). I like the gifts I’ve received, as always lol, mula from the p'rents and Hockey from my one and only.

Life has become quite simple for me, at least during the weekdays, which consist of going to work at 8:30 in the morn- then going home at 3:-4:30 in the afternoon. Half asleep I open my books and begin my long arduous journey through my LSAT STUDIES. I'm nowhere near where I want to be, nor need to be for my exam date (Dec 2nd) but hopefully I will be.

 I've become a prisoner of my mind, where instead of bars I am held captive by logical reasoning, rules and limitations of logic games that make up the LSAT. I have been locked away for which seems like an eternity, from my friends and those whom I wish I could bask in their friendships. I wish experience that free sole again, the zest for life that has abandoned me, which has been replaced by the mundaness of a cynical world.

I feel so alienated by this world, a cynical one I've come to know, where the carefree days of yesteryear have melted away and I'm on the prelude to the rest of my life. I long for the days of becoming who I want to be and not living in the reality of what now is.

Anyhow I apologize if you read this and feel depressed, but I needed to get those thoughts out, basically what I’m saying is, it seems like the routines of life are getting to me and I really need a change.

•  Fighting- it is hockey after all, which is even more intense during the playoffs.
• Cat fighting (Jen and gloria taking on the other girls cheering for the other team),
• Determination (After Derrick couldn't stop a player from scoring, and tying the game up, he comes back on the same shift and sticks it right to them, which proved to be the winning goal.
• Leadership- Phil, even knowing he could problably score, stayed back deep in our zone and played Defense, doing what the team needed to win.
• Focus- After we took the lead for good, I had to be sharp and focussed to preserve the win, all eyes on me.
•  Emotional (When that final buzzer went off I was jumping as high as I could with joy, raising and pumping my arms, the whole team jumped off the bench and skated to me and went into a frenzy, in a big dog pile  Ahhhh.. I love Hockey!!

Man what do I have to do? I mean my save % is the highest in 3 seasons, I can play almost the same style before I got injured, yet my Goals Against Average is atrocious at 6.12 in 5 games, and I have only 2 wins....Pathetic... Holly god I really don't know what is wrong, I'm obviously not playing well enough to give my team a chance to win, just once I'd like to get a few balances going my way. It seems like I get all these fluke bounces going in, just last game the puck off a face-off goes off Norman’s skate and right into the net!

Anyhow I go back into battle this Sat at 5:30 at RIC, so if you would like to come support the Annihilators and I, let me know, and then maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Also if you have nothing better to do earlier in the day, maybe you would like to come to HATS off Day. Just let me know!

Good times are ahead.
