4A Workterm - Fall 2006 - Random Thoughts

The string of events this weekend has reminded me that I will soon need to head back to TO. Can't believe 13 weeks has past since I arrived here. To be honest, this place has been very good to me. I feel I have grown slightly having to really live on my own, and the daily dose of clear blue sky has made me feel much more clear headed.

Thinking a bit more, perhaps the reason I like it here so much is that it is almost my escape from reality. Sure there were little kinks here and there, but overall it has been a great experience. Not to mention that I have either dropped any outstanding issues that I have, or have pushed the decisions for them until Jan onwards.

It's great to be in a new place, where you start off with a clean slate, and you can take with you only the pieces that you wish to remember from your past. But what I've realized in these brief 4 months is that, running away is not the answer... eventually you will have no where to run to. The past does catch up eventually, no matter where you go.
