Brief Update...

Hello Everybody!

So here's what's up. For alot of you none of this will be news but hey, whatever. :-)

I'm moving to sunny South Surrey (I'm told the South is a very important distinction) for August 1st. Maybe July 29th. I'm not 100% sure as I'm waiting to hear from my Dad who is helping me move. Actually, I'm not really waiting, I forgot to ask him which day specifically and I'm waiting to get my ass in gear and ask. I'm a retard. But anyway, I'm moving. Soon. (If anybody on the island is feeling overcome by an overwhelming urge to lift many small boxes into a truck please feel free to drop by! As of today I have no one to help me load up except my Dad and I'm feeling not so good about that because he's got this heart thing and it's just not so much with the good). :-) And I found a place (which you could probably tell from the whole moving to South Surrey thing)! A great place! Marla and Adam are renting me the top floor of their fabulous house because they're moving to Hamilton so Marla can get her doctorate because she's smart. Supa smart. S-M-R-T! And it's very close to White Rock Beach which makes me quite a happy monkey. It's a zillion miles away from Downtown Vancouver which is less happiness inducing but whatever. I like the beach. And so does the doglet (who headbutted me yesterday while we were napping! Seriously, she had her little dog forehead resting against my face while we napped and then out of the blue she sneezed and smacked me right in the mouth! That bitch.)

Its not looking quite so happy on the money front...it looks as though I not only don't have classes to teach at Malaspina but I may not have a TA position at SFU either. None of this is certain yet but it's not looking too good. Notification deadlines have come and gone. I've sent emails asking what's up but so far I haven't heard anything. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but it's kind of bleak. Grrr.

Um, I did have something else to say but I've totally forgotten what it was due to the untimely wallowing in despair that comes about everytime I think about the impending joblessness that is me. More grrr. Don't get me wrong, I know it'll all work out and it's not the end of the world if I have to take a job (or 2) outside my field to get me through school...I just would rather make with the career building. Anyway, speaking of careers which leads me to think of work which leads me to think of the mounds of freelancey goodness awaiting my attention, I've got to go. Okay bye!
