Less than one week to Seattle
Gosh, just how much of my life is spent waiting so that I can see my loved ones and family again?
Anyways, I just have to submit myself to four more days of classes and I'll be free, free as a bird! Weee! Well, that is, I'll have a week of frolicking on the West Coast before having to begrudgingly return to Montana to finish off the semester. But! The semester will only consist of 32 more days before I am liberated from classes, free to... find a job, pay rent, and basically live like a sort-of adult from May until late August.
Originally, I was going to move to Victoria immediately after the semester ended at UM, but money is the master, and money decided that I stay in Missoula, work, and save up money. Isn't money a kindly master?
I've decided to look into work at the nearest bookstore, if I, hopefully, end up living with my friend Megan, this will be an independent bookstore or Barnes and Noble. With my previous experience working in bookstores, I hopefully will be able to easily obtain the job, and make enough money to create a lovely nest egg of money for fun stuff in Victoria. Since my financial aid package will likely cover housing completely, I don't have to worry about rent. My hope is that I will have enough saved up that I don't have to live paycheque to paycheque, as I have been doing in Missoula these past four years. That will hopefully allow me to open a savings account in Victoria, and so I can work towards two future goals which require money: Going to law school, and buying a house in Victoria. *sigh*
While working at the bookstore, whichever one it is, I think I'm going to take a modest advantage of my employee discount and read up on books about gardening and growing fruits and vegetables in the Pacific Northwest. It's my hope to some day start a garden of my own in Victoria, it seems, with its rain and fertile soil, to be the ideal place for one.
