Moving House
14 years ago
General
Mere days after saying in my last journal that I didn't foresee moving anytime soon, the house received a full-price offer and has now been sold. Go figure. I need to move out before December 1st and I still have no idea as to where. This should be fun.
On another topic, something interesting happened to me this afternoon. After arriving to my Italian class almost 15 minutes late (I'm never tardy for class), I stayed afterwards to apologize to my professor and explained that my job had held me up. She immediately became interested in what I was doing because the last she knew, I was unemployed. After I explained, she told me that I did not strike her at all as a computer person, I was definitely more a "man of letters" and I should think seriously about changing to something else while I'm still young.
She's known me for exactly 50 days and has already caught on to the fact that I dislike what I do with no prompting from me. Is it really that obvious? :P
We spoke for nearly thirty minutes afterwards and she encouraged me to apply my "methodical" and "logical" mind to something that I'm more interested in. I'm not sure exactly what that would be, but perhaps I'll come up with some answers eventually.
Right after I come up with two months' rent money. Eek.
I was hoping to finish a painting before the end of the year, but no promises. We'll see how the move goes.
Onward and upward.

Thank you!
I always appreciate your advice. :) We'll see how things go!
It's indeed a bit inconvenient, but it had to happen eventually. I was hoping I'd have a bit more lead time, but something like this can seldom happen on precisely the timetable we might like.
Lots of changes once all this is over with. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, though!

I am indeed considering working abroad in the not-too-distant future (I've been mulling it over for some years, now), though Canada was not on my short list of candidate locations! The point about polar bears may make me reconsider, however. Hmmm. ^__^
