At this time in three weeks, I will be in the air flying to London. I will be leaving behind my family, my cats, my friends, my job and hopefully a significant amount of insecurities for three whole months. Three months of freedom, adventure, quaint city cafes, noisy pubs, breathtaking views and best of all eight weeks with one of my best friends. I'm a little scared but only a little, I'm mainly ridiculously excited. Everything has been planned to death and I know I'm going to have the time of my life.
My sister came over for lunch today before heading off to India for two weeks for work. She told us today that she is resigning from her job which means she won't be meeting me in London but I don't mind. That job has been killing her. She is ridiculously stressed out to the point it's affecting her health. So from what she said I think she'll be taking a little break from working and will try and find a job with less responsibilty. Currently she is in an international role and it was sort of thrust upon her. I think she's making the right choice.
I've been killing time a lot lately by looking at job ads and rental properties, which is ridiculous because I can't apply for anything until I get back in November and I won't be in a position to rent until sometime next year. Ideally, I'd like to rent a two bedroom townhouse in the Inner West, there are quite a few nice ones. The average rent is about $600 per week and the plan is to have someone to split it with. However, I have no idea how much money I'm going to be earning and so I don't even know if $300 a week is something I could afford once I have a "proper" job.
