Every end is a new beginning.

limbo

noun

in limbo in a state of uncertainty, neglected, up in the air, in abeyance, betwixt and between, not knowing whether one is coming or going (informal) I felt as though I was in limbo. [...]

 

I am in limbo. As I start this blog, it is fun to think about how many things may change with each post. I have reached that point in life where there is not just a fork in the road but an intersection with six choices of direction. To those from Haligonia, think the intersection at the corner of Quinpool and Robie. After spending 17 years of my life as a student, I've hit this intersection, and there is a red light. In the next four months, life could go one of two ways:

 

Option 1: I get accepted to a master's program.

For those of you wondering, yes, there are programs out there that do not hand out acceptance letters until now. You are right, it is May. Yes, they start in September. No, I do not like it. Alas, this is the program that I picked. Masters in health administration. How neat would it be to have BSc, MHA after my name? I am getting ahead of myself. I chose this program because I always wanted to be in the health care field, but noticed early on the glitches in the system. Eventually, I found that I fall naturally into a leadership role. Mash those together and bam, you get MHA. I may not be the most competitive candidate, but it is not from lack of trying. If I get accepted I'll joy-cry. I'll also complete the following steps:

 

Apply to give my soul to student loans --> find a roommate/apartment in Halifax-->move away from wolfvegas (by August)--> start school  --> find work placement --> finish school --> administrate health care --> fist pump

Option 2: I get rejected from a master's program.

I am banking on this one, just in case. The question is, what to do after? A lot of me wants to get out of Nova Scotia and do something spontaneous. Is this because my boyfriend is a world traveler? Possibly. Is this because one of my best friends has been all over the world as well? Possibly. Alright. Probably. What is wrong with that though? Regardless, I got a job interview to do this world traveling last week. Working on a cruise ship would be a great way to see the world on somebody else's dime. The day of the interview I was on day two of antibiotics to treat strep throat. Serendipity? I've seen the movie. Was this my fiver with a phone number? Who knows, but I did not go. To be continued, should this option follow through. It would look something like this:

Apply to jobs somewhere on earth -->rock interview-->go to work said job somewhere on earth. 

For the time being, I'm stuck in limbo. 

limbo

noun

 [...] Living in the same town where you went to university in order to avoid real life, waiting to find out what real life will be. Not all bad, because it involves a sweet job and some good times, subletting in a full house with a cat, and drinking wine until I figure out a plan. 

 

I do not intend to make this a crazy witty trendy blog. I want to be able to look back and laugh at myself because of how things turned out in the end. For those of you reading, I hope you enjoy.
