WHAT

A blog like this might seem typical.

But I don't care.

Whats this blog about?

This blog is about my year off.

I've spent so much of my life doing all of the things that I don't want to do. My parents (who are workaholics) will be the first to tell you that, "In life there will be plenty of things that you don't want to do- but you've to got to do them."

What happens if I do the things that make me happy?

Could that then manifest itself into my future career, life, home etc.

I am moving to California in the fall after I finish my contract at my current 9-5 job.

I want to see San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles.

Everywhere I look now, every channel I turn on, book I open the word/image of "California" is looking me in the face. I haven't been this excited in a long time.

Things To Do in California:

-Photoshoots/Model

-Tan

-Learn to surf... surf everyday

-Meet a 'celebrity'

-Meet new and interesting people

-Learn something or do something new/special each day

-Start my book

...I will add some more things later :)

Oh ! I should probably meantion this now. I did learn something at school while I was there before I homeschooled myself.... I learned that I don't support our education system. I am going to begin writing my book about post secondary education. I don't expect to sell a single copy but at least I can get this weight off my shoulders and off of my chest.

After California I will come home for Christmas :)

I love my family so much and I will miss them.

Afterwards I will hopefully spend New Years in ... New York !! (Of course)

I've always felt like my New Years could have been that much better if I were right there when the ball dropped. I will probably be epically poor by this point so finding a hotel around new years will probably cost me an arm and a leg and a louis vuitton bag but I'll manage. Something tells me I won't be in NY for too long haha.

After that? Well.... who knows ! I'm taking this one step at a time. Will I go to Europe? Will I go to Asia? Will I go back to California? ....or will I live it up in Canada for the wiiiiiiinter? Who knows.

Not knowing is the exciting part.

This isn't just about the places I will go to though. It will also be about all of the little things inbetween and the experiences I will have to help me to grow as a person and experience the life that I wouldn't normally have experienced if I hadn't chosen to wait a year.
