My Standwords

After being cooped up in the house for about a week with Flu-Like Symptoms, I’m anxious to get outside for some networking and Vitamin D. That’s one thing I love about Toronto–there’s always something free to do in the area. The 25th of this month is Third Tuesday in Toronto, a meet up of pr professionals and social media enthusiasts who want to learn more about social media. I can’t wait to go. Hopefully I’ll be done with this flu by then, if not I’ll probably spend the night in a hospital rather than meeting anyone at Third Tuesday.

Speaking of days, I can’t believe May is nearly over already. 2009 is almost half done.  In a few months, I’ll be leaving my overnight job to study Corporate Communications at Seneca College. After doing the fitness show in April I realized that public relations is where I want to go, so I’m going there starting September. Granted I could have done all of this last year, but who knows? That idea only invites a lot of ’shoulda, coulda, woulda’ thinking and I don’t have time for that.

As far as the competition went, it was a mini-disaster. But I had fun, so “that’s the most important part” I guess.  For a while I thought I had to try again, to sort of ‘make-up’ for this blunder, but I changed my mind. I do what I want and what I want to do is corporate communications. So putting my time and money in to competing as a fitness model doesn’t make any sense. To be honest I’d feel much more comfortable competing if I knew everything else in my life was in order; mainly my career.
