Who knew that Disney Characters were so smart?

I've always liked this quote, and anytime I read it I can always see Belle dancing around on that hill of hers and mindlessly throwing the chicken food around. First of, Belle your wasting the food geez! Second this quote describes my situation perfectly! 

For the people that know me yes I am very much a home body, I'd rather be at home doing something than go out this is true. Now that you know this some of you may be wondering why on Earth then am I flying 8hrs from home and staying there for a year? Crazy pants right? Right, I have been called crazy for taking this job and have been told that I'll end up calling home the first day crying that I miss my family. Of course I'll miss my family but I'm almost twenty-two (103 days and counting) it's time for me to put on my big girl pants and say "Hey lets go explore while we still can."

And that's exactly what I will be doing. Yes I am scared of this adventure but I am also excited to go to a new country (yeah I know England isn't that much different than Canada in some ways but still new place) and to just be young and not worry about all the little things I have been since I graduated high school.

I do want so much more than they've got planned....and I'm going after it :)

Graduation Day!

Now I know this may not really relate to my big adventure but it does have some value.
Yesterday, June 8th, was my graduation. I graduated from the "Autism & Behavioural Sciences" Program from Lambton College and couldn't be happier. This program was an amazing experience and I have learned a lot from my teachers about this topic and also have learned a lot about my self, as cheesy as that sounds. I would just like to take a moment to thank some people :)

My Parents and Grandparents: For believing in me and helping me recognize my potential of the things that I can accomplish when I put my mind to it.
My Friends/Classmates: For supporting me and helping me through both terms with the good and the bad.
My Teachers: For teaching me in a way that I could relate and understand the material.
And above all everyone for supporting me throughout my post-secondary education, I could not have done it without you guys. So once again thank you from the bottom of my heart :)

Me looking "all pretty and s@#%" as my good friend Devin told me :)

So an update on my big adventure: I go to Toronto next Thursday, the 13th, to meet with the British High Commissions to get my finger prints taken and to had in all of my documentation and my passport to complete my VISA. I will have payed off my ticket by tomorrow as well.

Have a great day everyone!
