Tension

For the last couple of months since school started up again, I noticed I was having a lot of tension in my back.
I would wake up for the day and my hips and joints would be completely stiff, and would go on like that for almost the entire day.
I did go get massages at the student clinic a couple times, and that helped a bit for a few days. But that tension would eventually return, sometimes with a vengeance. And sometimes leading me to tears. Now if anyone knows me, I rarely cry over physical pain, because physical pain seems to be fixed easier in my opinion.

I thought part of the stiffness in my back was due to my crazy schedule. Wake up at 5:30am, go to work until 2 or 3, rush home to get changed, then rush off to class where I would sit in an uncomfortable chair for almost 3 hours. And it probably was.

But since last Friday, I've realized that I've been waking up without pain or stiffness. Last Friday was the 2 week countdown mark to my big move. Perhaps the end of my current job was in sight. The end of my time away from J was in sight.  And maybe, just maybe I finally started to relax again.

Moving on

Well folks. I am proud to announce that I'm finally in the home stretch of my Master's program!
I only have three weeks left and then I'm done!  Of course I don't really graduate until May of 2013, but the classes, assignments, and stress will be finished. Caput. Fini. Donezo!

When I moved here, I seriously thought that it would take forever to be finished. I missed J quite a bit and counted down the days/weeks until I would see him again. Now there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I made the decision a couple weeks ago that when I finish my classes, I would be moving back to Moncton.
Which means I'll finally get to be with J again! No more long distance! No more dropped phone calls because of terrible service in my apartment. No more missing him.

I still have a bit of journey ahead as I will be looking all over Canada for a job/career that I can put my education towards, but in the meantime,  I will be in Moncton!

Just wanted to check in and let you all know!
Hope things are well!
