Send Me On My Way

Two. The number of days until I leave. Things are moving at a fast clip now. My mom sold our extra car just a few hours ago. I'm glad I didn't name it and get too attached. This morning I also finished all the quilting I wanted to do with my machine before I left. The only thing left on my to-do list is packing.

Yesterday was my Farewell Ceremony and Party. It was great to see everyone one last time (not that I'll never see them again!) and remember the great support I have here at home if I ever get discouraged. They're all only a call, text, or IM away.

Good news: A week or two ago I sent in a few job applications, and recently one of them--incidentally, the one I was most interested in--emailed me back and asked me to come in for an interview! We set the time and date to be the morning after I move in. The job title is "Technical/Help Desk Support" and I'll basically be fixing computers. For the interview, he told me there will be a 15-minute technical aptitude test. I'm going to be crazy busy the next few days... but it'll be great, I know it.

This is likely the last blog before I leave. Next time, it'll be all about UBC Vancouver! I'll miss home, I know, but I'm ready for a new adventure. Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
