Just about there

It hit me, straight across the face, I have to make the most of this experience.

So much of my time at university has felt like a waste. Not that attending has been worthless but that I’ve taken it all for granted.

I have one more year to make it happen, to push myself to exhaustion. I’ll squeeze every drip of experience I can out of this time.

In just over two weeks I’m off to Alberta. I’ve been dreaming of this time since I was officially accepted into Ryerson University’s Bachelor of Journalism program.

Now I must clarify, I haven’t been dreaming about Alberta that much is for sure. It’s the required, un-paid internship that I’ll be carrying out there that has been humming away in the back of my mind.

The options were great. I could have gone anywhere. But I knew that I wanted to be in a small news station; so any hands on experience wouldn’t be considered taboo.

It all fell into place. The way things are supposed to when it’s the right fit.

But at this point I’m feeling a bit of anxiety and apprehension. Hopefully this all fades away quickly, because I’m supposed to enjoy this time.

Although, I have been counting the sleeps until my departure.
