So, I havn't posted on Motivation Needed for over a month, so I'm going to leave it alone now. It was a different stage in my life, and I am past it now. Motivation was definetly found. What is the deal with the new site name then? Emptydish has been around for more than 5 years now, so I thought that I needed a small change. This name caught my attention a few days ago walking around campus because someone had etched it into a wall. I don't know why it stuck, but its now going live.

I'm back in London, and back to the grind. I've spent more time studying and working since getting back than I have this early ever before. Life is just too hectic, and since exams start in two weeks theres nothing else I should be doing.

This is more or less just a ramble right now though. I'm excited though about everything going on. I'm signed up my Ultimate Frisbee team again. Re-joined Inner-tube Water Polo, found a Ball Hockey team, found Badminton partners, and all that is left is to find out when Varsity tryouts are. I'm working at Blockbuster and Campus Tour Guides right now. Also volunteering again at Western Foot Patrol! It's definetly going to be a busy fucking year.

I think I have my life sorted out school-wise as well. I will be finishing university with a 4 Year Honors BA, Majoring in Sociology and Minoring in Criminology. From there I still want to go to Ivey. I know I can, and I will make it. Its going to take a lot of sacraficing this year, but I want it more than I did two years ago when I fucked up my opportunities. Now its time to make it work again.

I'm working towards an ambitious Christmas goal this year. Originally I was hoping to go with my family to Whistler to ski the rockies, but latley I've started having another though. I'm having trouble finding information, but i want to go on habitat for humanity missue to build houses in ether South America or Africa for a week or two. I think that would be more rewarding then spending another Christmas spending money and getting gifts that I don't neccisarily need (Although the 5G iPod looks sweet ;)).

Other than that nothing is new. I'm super busy which is actually wonderful for a change. I almost have my next tattoo planned out, just have to figure out when my neighbors want to go so we can get them. They both want another, so we are going to make a trip up north to the guy who did theres.

Thats the fun of it. Second Hand Information is born.
