Hey guys, I know I haven't been around much lately. Let's just call it a vacation, ok? Life's been busy, and I'm working on finding a balance.

I applied for my dream job this morning. You'll be interested to know that it's not a graphic design position. Hmm.. But to be honest, I have a lot of interests! And I plan to continue freelancing regardless.

I thought I would share (part of) my resume here, because I worked on it for awhile. Haha. If you couldn't tell, I'm applying for a position as a flight attendant with Air Canada. Whether or not I get hired, or even get a call back is not the point. I just felt like if this is something that I really want, then I should go for it. Better to have tried and failed than to not try at all!

I've been doing this thing in my life right now, where instead of just talking about doing things, I actually set a plan into action and give it my all. And you know what, I think it's working.

Working as a flight attendant for Air Canada has been a dream of mine for as long as I remember, and preparing this application was the first step towards my next adventure.

EDIT: I wrote this post on Friday morning but held off on posting, because I wasn't sure if I should/wanted to share... I submitted my resume in the morning, and got a call back in the afternoon. Had a phone interview, and I think it went really well. Keep your fingers crossed that I get a second interview :)

I've been on a bit of a personal adventure lately. I'm really trying to improve myself, and lead a healthy, happy + active lifestyle. Let's face it, we've got to stop living like we're students at some point.

The photo below is from a trip to Portugal with Pedro. I remember that summer. I moved home to live with my parents, and worked really hard, every day, to be able to go on that trip. I'm in a similar situation now (minus the living with my folks), but I'm excited for new adventures.

I was feeling kind of reflective today, when I saw Whitney's post on Whit B. Nimble. She's just lovely. I love reading about her adventures. Anyways, she posted a little list of questions called "Taking Stock" - and I wanted to join in on the fun. If you want to fill it out too, I'd love to see your answers.
