Low Expectations

I wonder if the secret to contentment in life is a deeper understanding of yourself and what you expect of the world. What you expect to get back from your job, your studies, your friends and your family. hmmm. i'm not sure about that, but there may be something there.

Related to that topic, I had fairly low expectations of this last job that I applied for, I was excited about it and confident that I'd be able to do it well. Nonetheless, I was still skeptical because I knew one of candidates applying for the job. This individual was a better fit, in my opinion, for what the company was looking for.

Anyway, I didn't have any expectations, and I'm not disappointed that I didn't get the job. I'm not just saying this to console myself, its true. I'm happy to continue with school and appreciate this process as long as I'm in it. So unless something spectacular comes along (while I'm not looking for it), I do want to finish off my commitments to school. It seems almost positive now that I will be able to return home to Vancouver in October where I will complete the rest of my degree by distance. Before that happens, I'm going to find a way to appreciate this place called Saskatchewan for as much as I'm able to - its kind folk and its hidden beauties.
