Memories of Katie
Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Don't send a message, leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this in your notes and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...
I am an indecisive person and it is driving me crazy.
A few months ago as I was thinking about what I want to do this next fall, I remember asking to be given a CHOICE. My reasons behind all of this were fine. In the past, I have been very fortunate to not have to make a lot of choices, the things that have fallen in my lap have been the things I was meant to do. For example: getting into Mount Royal College's Interior Design program (it's the only University program I applied for), Northwestern (the next and only school I applied to), the job at the Drop-In Centre, China, etc. Each step I have taken has immediately followed the previous one and rarely have I felt what it is like to reach a fork in the road. Though all of this has been WONDERFUL, it has left me feeling like I am not really involved in all of the choices I make and the things that happen in my life...if you know what I mean.
So I asked for a choice and now I'm kind of regretting that decision. I've been offered one job and have interviewed for another and IF it comes down to making a choice I have no clue what I am going to do. Do I choose job A or job B or do I not choose either of them and wait for an unknown C to appear?? Both A and B are good...they're GREAT even. So I have no clue...
As I look ahead and think about what I WANT do there are two things that stand out. I want to work in Residence Life/Student Development at a College or University. At the same time, I want to work in Design or Marketing...or even at a Gallery. Could those be any different? I know that I'm only 25, but it's beginning to feel like what I choose now will determine what I am can do later on. If I accept a job in Res Life does that mean that I can't do Design later on? Can I somehow combine the passions that I have, or will one be reserved for my "free time"?? Anyway...just some random thoughts!
Ps. My last official day at the Drop-In Centre is May 18th! I imagine I'll still be at Pottery Barn through the summer - but I have begun to wrap things up at the D.I. It's a little nerve wracking to be without a job for the summer, but kind of exciting at the same time!

Happy Easter
He is Risen!
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you." So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."
Matthew 28:1-10

The GRE
This afternoon I have to write the GRE. I'm not really looking forward to it. I have spent the better part of a week studying for it (and some before that too) and realizing that there is a ton of stuff that I DO know and equally as much that I don't. I have been pleasantly surprised by how much of the math I remember from High School - all of the math on this test is quite similar to the exam I had for math 8 years ago! Hopefully, all that information is really stored in there somewhere!! I did realize something though...I don't actually know what "GRE" stands for. Hopefully that isn't a question on the test!
Wish me luck!
Wish me luck!

Otters!
I guess this video is from the Vancouver aquarium. It's pretty great!
