So much to talk about since my last blog! I'll start with two big pieces of news; the first is... I got my dream job!!! I am so beyond happy!!! I am now a youth care worker at the youth homeless shelter that I did my internship at. My first shift is Monday/Tuesday from 11pm - 7am. I never did an overnight shift during my internship, so it will be a new experience for me. I'm excited!
The second big piece of news is... I'm going to Hawaii next year! I have never been on a plane or traveled anywhere outside of Atlantic Canada (except for a day in Maine when I was a kid). If you don't know already, I am a huge fan of the show Lost, which was filmed in Hawaii. So, for the tenth anniversary of the show's finale, there is a four day convention happening on Oahu. The convention includes tours of the filming locations, watching the pilot and finale in recognizable filming locations, trivia contest, costume contest, q&a with actors/actresses from the show, autograph signing/picture taking with actors/actresses from the show, and more!
As soon as I seen it, I thought "ugh... I wish I could go!", then I thought "wait... why can't I?". I have the money to do it, and my new job allows a lot of flexibility with vacation time... so I'm doing it! I already purchased my convention ticket, I have the money for the convention extras (like getting an autograph/picture), I booked my Airbnb, and I have the money ready to purchase the plane tickets (I am in the process of getting a passport now). I just need to save some money for spending, which won't be an issue at all. Also, I will spending an additional four days to enjoy the beach, shopping, hiking a volcano, and more! I am so excited!!! I even got a cute jar at the dollar store for my Hawaii fund. I will be putting extra money into it as often as I can.
Some other minor exciting things that have happened recently are; getting my new book in the mail, ordering a new planner, trying a breakfast sandwich with the new Beyond Meat sausage, celebrating Canada Day by binge watching The Walking Dead (I just started watching it &; I love it!) and enjoying delicious garlic fingers and cream soda, making a giant pot of vegetarian chili (with no jalepenos this time), and making Twin Peaks inspired rings to sell again on Etsy (which are available now!).
This weekend, I'm going to visit my boyfriend. He is taking me out for dinner to celebrate my new job! Wooo! I'm not sure what else we're gonna do, but I'm sure it'll be fun. However, I do need to try to stay up really late the next few nights in order to be able to do the overnight shift. It will probably be brutal. Wish me luck, haha! I hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats on getting your dream job, and your future vacation with the convention I hope that it's fun for you. OMG, I want to try the Beyond Meat sausage so bad, I love the beyond burger, and I just got the new beyond beef (I haven't tried it yet.) I remember that story The Lottery and I heard that story in elementary school and it was traumatizing to me at that age lol.
