Registering for the next phase of my life
So about 2 weeks ago I decided that I needed to get me some new educ-ma-cation to one-up everyone else out there (at least in Southern Ontario) who might potentially be applying for the same jobs as I would like to have in the near future.
I went online today to register for Continuing Education at Mohawk College
to procure my Event Planning Techniques certificate. I figure if I can get at least 3 courses fit into my busy summer, I have the potential to finish the program by this time next spring. Last week I completed a one evening course towards my Certificate - "Display Fireworks and Indoor Pyrotechnics"... it wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be (thus no live fire power), however, it was a good way to ease myself back into a learning curve.In total, I will be taking 11 courses from now to 2007, and hopefully not be entirely broke at the end of it all. I'm excited, and a little nervous, but overall I think it will help me so much in the long run and help me get off my arse and find a new job! I guess I could be like my first class...inside and outside I am ready to explode and ready to go put on a show!
One other good thing: As much as I want out of WAHC (www.wahc-museum.ca) for a number of reasons, there are a few perks I am completely willing to take advantage of before I go... such as copious amounts of vacation time which will allow me too attend and participate in the weddings of my close friends over the next few months, and WAHC's commitment to professional development - show me the money - honey!!!

I love that you can refer to a paycheck as a 'committment to professional development'!! Not only is that hillarious and brillant, but it is SO TRUE. Without my job I would not be able to affort the books, and yoga, and art, and music, and everthing else in my life, that I would consider not only professional, but deeply personal development stuff.
You will go to college, then you will have some knowledge.
Or... edumactaion. Hehe.
