Alright I have been in my program for 7 weeks, entering my 8th and final week of this phase. Right from the beginning I have been enjoying every single minute of my program, and the teachers are some of the best I have ever had. I also have started searching for some sort of pickup or coupe utility to drive around while I am down here I am going to need it also to drive my tools home since they cannot be shipped to Canada. Going back to the college, I have had a lot of support and backing which is awesome to say the least. My grades so far are right where I want them to be (in the top 3-4%) and my goal for going to Wyotech is to graduate with Perfect Attendance and Eagle Teach.
I have also joined the Hudson Essex Terraplane Club in the USA, with plans to join the North West Chapter as of December. They have been really helpful with answering questions and giving me information, tips and tricks for working on my Hudson back at home. Now I just need to finish my program so I can work on it. Add the fact I am also going to join the Vintage Car Club of Canada, Victoria Chapter in December I am going to have a lot of people who are passionate about cars to turn to for advice and tips how to get my classic back onto the road.
Something cool about joining the VCC club Victoria chapter is that their member who writes the monthly newsletter is going to interview me in December about my life, my goals and my current car I am working on. So this winter is going to be real nice, not only being home with family but having that going on plus being able to work on my project.
One of my goals later on after working for a several years is to open my own shop to work on cars once I have experience working in this industry. I've got to say, I never expected the fact that I could be earning almost equivalent pay as an Architect but working better hours and doing something that I love everyday (that is not stressful for me).
The last weeks I really have been feeling to say the least, very happy. I am not worrying about anything anymore and I am in no rush to find that special someone since I would really rather wait for the right person that someone who does not care whatsoever. Sure it might be a little harsh and a bit ignorant but it also does not mean I am going to stop looking completely.
Now the one thing I really want back home is my own house on a lot. I need the space (I never thought I would saying this at my age) to store and work on my classic cars. Hopefully when I get home I am going to be able to find one.... in my price range.
Other than that, I do not have really much else to sum up October.
