No I'm not DEAD, and YES I do have a life plan!

So some of you are maybe wondering what's going on these days. Things haven't been the greatest per say. But today I came up with a plan. After making the decision to go to a certain briefing and thinking I'd come out none the wiser, I came out much wiser. Now I could beat around the bush and blow sunshine up certain parts of my reader's bodies. But I'm not going to. I hate engineering with a passion, and I really hate math (sorry Mr. Maynes). School isn't going as great as I'd like it to, in fact it's not going great at all. But I have options and now that I've become more informed through a little research and forcing myself to attend a briefing that in the end turned out to be a gold mine.

On Saturday we were all given briefings on our trades. In my case that was Airfield Engineering or Construction Engineering as it has now been redesignated. After the briefings I was a little rattled (I've been fairly rattled that last few weeks). The parts that rattled me were the lack of airplanes in any of the slides and the lack of airfields. Needless to say I didn't see much blue. However I've made the decision to stick with it. I've disliked many a thing before only to fall in love with it after getting into it. The part about hating engineering? Well that's where the briefing I went to falls into place. The briefing was about the faculty of science and despite the fact I'm in an engineering job I can study science oh and did I mention that scientists can get jobs. I've decided to go into physics. I've been in love with meteorology since the day I started flying as most of you can attest to after witnessing me forecast the weather joyfully. If I switch to science there's also room to play if some of the school doesn't fall into place this year. In science I'll get more oppurtunities to study things that I enjoy such as more environmental/weather related areas. I will also get a chance to write more, because I'll have lab reports to write and after hearing that the labs aren't stupid make work projects like the first year labs I've turned in my attempt to run from the science world. After some calm cool thinking I feel this is the best option for me. It's also the safest and it prevents me from selling my body on Portage Avenue in order to pay to go university or what ever people in Manitoba do to pay for school. A degree in Physics also allows me to apply for Education or Law if I decide to say good-bye to the military in 2017. I'll still be able to become bilingual, work out in a free gym, walk through the arch, look good in combats, and most of importantly serve my country. So now I'm going to go write an essay now that I've warmed my writing up and continue trying to save myself so that I can stay in Science with out paying for an extra year at this fine institution.
