A little bit of everything
It's a long post, so if you want to read it, you know the deal.
It is strange to think that I was considering not going to the interview on Monday in Kamloops, especially since I was freaked out by the thought of moving away from home for the first time. But in light of not getting the job, I think one of my friends from church is correct in saying that God doesn't allow us to handle anything more than we can. I may have not wanted the job, but going to the interview did teach me an important lesson in that I know I can face each challenge as it presents itself and that I can travel on my own and I actually enjoyed it. One of my goals in the future is to travel to England on my own and experience what England has to offer. Hey Liz, if I do come, can we meet? It's just a thought.
From what my friend said about England and Scotland, I think I would enjoy it, especially Bath, an entire city devoted to all things Jane Austen, even though she only live there for a year or two and hated it.
My mom got herself a new job, a job that she really didn't think she would get. As of January, she will be the new Director of Instructor for the Chilliwack School District, a job that she once did here in Abbotsford and really enjoyed. She was certainly appreciative of being in a school for about 4 or 5 years, as it gave her a new understanding of what she is up against when she takes her new position in the New Year.
Got myself an advent calender this year, but this one is special: it has 32 days of chocolates and it's a Shrek one. Too bad there isn't a Bosco chocolate advent calender; I would probably buy every single one available and gorge myself on Bosco chocolate. *dies just from the thought*
Right now, I am watching Ric Burns' documentary on New York City (episode three: Sunshine and Shadow). Watching this episode, I have fallen in love with the city all over again. I have never been to New York and just understanding the history of the city makes me want to visit it, more so than Montreal (which I do want to visit) or Toronto (been to hogtown already for a week and I have seen pretty much everything, although my lodging would be free there cause I would stay with my aunt and her family and I understand the subway system). Maybe I should ask for the set for Christmas and yes, I would ask for the eighth episode Center of the World (guess what that is about?).
While watching the episode the first time, I got an idea for a fic. There was a song called "The Streets of New York" that was developed (is that the proper word? I don't know) in the 1890s and as I was listening to it for the first time today, I thought of possibly doing one. I am currently working on it and when it is done, I will be posting it in my writing lj, jayne1980, in tw_writersguild, and in thirdwatchfics. I will probably post it on TW.net. It will be a sad fic and as a result I will be posting a warning. I am not telling you what character will be dead, you can find out when I post. It will be more of a reflection piece.
I am being extremely lazy and should be cleaning my room today, as my cousin and her boyfriend are coming down from Kamloops for the weekend tomorrow to visit. I think I can do that tomorrow. But then again I probably won't end up doing it.
Talk to you later and happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. Don't eat too much. Later.
PS I know I said I would give a photo journal of my trip to Mexico last year, but I really don't know as most of the photos are of people and who really wants to see me in a bathing suit? Then again you might want to actually see what I and my family looks like; the family that I seem to refer to on a constant basis and seems to be the subject of most of my enteries.
