So here I am and here you are. What would we do without technology eh?

Blogger's note re: this particular post - Guaranteed to be even more nonsensical than ever before or the value of your reading time returned to you in the form of Canadian Tire money. 1 cent for every minute you believe you have wasted by reading this blog.

OK -so I made it back to Edinburgh no worse for wear, save for a rather large amount of lost sleep, hence this chica is especially lightheaded today.

The trip back was pretty uneventful. Jen did find a bit of amusement in seeing me drag all my luggage through the Newark airport (the carts cost $3 USD - I had none). I suppose I was quite the sight with laptop case strung over one shoulder, EBatles Bag over the other, Roots backpack on my back, dragging my enormous 60 lb suitcase behind me on one side and dragging my big green backpack on the other side. As Jen noted - she should have taken a picture.

Upon arrival yesterday morning, I chose to stay awake, unpack and do a bit of shopping - time for sleep later!! It turns out this may not have been the wisest decision, as I wasn't able to et to sleep until 1am last night, so am runnning on about 6.5 hours of sleep over the last 48 hours.

This may explain why I am having trouble remembering even the simplest things today - like what kind of Bond Processing I have been trained on and how many more hours I have to work to make up a 7 hour day. IT can only get better from here!

OK - well I have 3 books on the go at the moment:

1. The Celestine Prophecy - Will this be a spiritual awakening for me? I've only just begun, but already I sense that the insights of this book will be significant to my understanding /perspective of the world at large, in the same way that Ishmael was.

2. What Type AM I? Yep, you guessed it - more Myers-Briggs Personality stuff. Actually this is the book that first got me interested in the MBTIP last year. Amazing what one can learn about themselves and others from psychology. Everything to be taken with a grain of salt though - it is not teh be all and end all.

3. He's Just NOT That Into You. OK, so the title is not very positive or encouraging..hey it was written by a guy (mostly) so it's straight to the point. Nonetheless, this is not the type of thing any gal wants to hear. But you know what? I finished this book last night and, in the end, it may not be what a woman wants to hear, but its what every woman should know - that their time is precious and should not be wasted on men that don't care enough. A good read, but, again, I would suggest taking it with a big grain of salt, because having read about Myers-Briggs types I'd have to say that this book has not taken into consideration differences in personalities, particularly with regards to the Introvert/Extrovert and Thinking/Feeling preferences. It did, however, make me think long and hard about what I deserve and what I have settled for in the past -very different things.
