Where's the Pause button?

I can't believe...cannot grasp...that it is well into August already. Sort of. I mean, I honestly feel like time is going so fast that I can't keep track of it anymore. The pages of the calendar are doing that fast-flippy thing they do in the movies to show months passing in a matter of seconds.
The end of my time at Strathcona is in sight. Like, for real. August 25 on the schedule reads, "Thank you!" signifying that my name and hours will not listed be on the next week.
I find myself thinking about packing up my things, and how the heck is it all going to fit in my car? And how do I manage to accumulate so much in such a short period of time? And why did I spend money on that? Wait...I never think that.I also begin to think, hm I really should spend more time with that person, or too bad I didn't hang out with them more.
And then I ponder what the future holds.
Some of you may be aware that I am not going back to school in the Fall. Instead, I am going to find full-time work which will not necessarily be, or even likely to be, in the food service industry.
I'm trying out new things this year, and hopefully learning a lot, and saving a lot! I'm very excited for it, but it does mean a lot of change and challenges. For one, in a few weeks I will be doing one of the things I hate most: job hunting! Yick.
In two short weeks one of my oldest friends, Caliegh, is getting married, and a week after that my dearest Lizzie is getting married as well! I'm excited to be a part of that, and looking forward to seeing her and all my Kamloops friends again!

It all seems like its coming so fast, and this whole season at the lodge has simply flown by. Its going to be hard to leave the island, and the friends I've made here, and friends that I've been able to visit so often that I usually can't visit very often at all! But I think it will be good to go "home" for a while, and feel like I'm a little more permanently situated for once.
Anyway that's enough rambling from me! Now you know what's going on. I may or may not write again soon!
