My parents are making some huge decisions right now about their careers and life, and it's pretty terrifying.. They are both in their 50s and making decisions that affect their lives have huge consequences and possible benefits.. It's causing me to think about my own life decisions and future career choices. I need to take steps now to guarantee stability and success in the future. The idea of success to me right now is living and working in a beautiful hotel in Montreal, speaking both french and english professionally and having the means to travel and live well (which includes a loft in Old Montreal and an extensive wine bar). But so much can happen between now and then, and it's hard to stay motivated when in school with younger, less driven people who are still deciding what they really want to do. Learning french is also hard to do while taking 8 classes and having extensive homework. I have been able to meet with some people for a 'language exchange' some nights a week, which has worked well and has been free! Hopefully I can keep it up.
Anyways I guess the point is - life is extremely chaotic, just like the snow outside my window right now... but it's also incredibly intriguing and beautiful. And I love it - sometimes. :)
