I can’t remember the last time I went to bed and didn’t wake up several times a night, or the last time I woke up feeling refreshed. But if it could happen again, that would be the start of a very good day.

How I did it: Living in the US and having my passport expire before I could return to Canada made things a whole lot trickier for me. First they make you use a different form (I got rejected once for using the incorrect one).Next are the strict requirements for passport photographs (ex: Different picture size, "neutral" facial expression aka no smiling, photo has to show shoulders, clear image, etc etc), and I got rejected AGAIN for not meeting on… Read how I did it…
I’ve always sort of been a perfectionist in school, trying to stay near the top of most of my classes. Keeping good grades was my way of showing myself that I was doing good, it was like competition amongst others. (However, I was NOT teachers pet)
Good grades feel like a sort of accomplishment… and I also used to get paid for A’s, so that motivated me a bit, hehe.
Now the only reward for my college grades will just have to be some pride in myself. I hope those AP classes pay off.
I like going to new places, see new faces, new horizons. If I could go anywhere in the world to visit it would probably be Paris. I’ve always been traveling, moving from place to place, my surroundings always changing after a while. I like to consider myself a nomad. I look at where I live as where I’m staying, for now. Everything always temporary. I honestly don’t think I’ve stayed anywhere more than 4 years :/
So why not keep going?
I like the excitement of going somewhere new :)
