relocating




i tiptoed around the subject. i mulled on the thought. i fannied and tossed and moped about the prospect.

the inevitable has come.

Adrian and I are relocating to a very picturesque county called Norfolk.

and i am really scared, excited, and happy and sad about the thought.

why the mixed emotions, you ask? anyone who has moved a gazillion times in their past life and just wants to be rooted to 'home' would understand the fear and sadness.

anyone who loves the prospect of a challenge and adventure feels the excitement in my shoes.

i dont know. i am a bag of nerves. but who am i to say NO to a fantastic job offer? (and a possibility of being in the countryside and fields, and starting afresh would not give this offer a chance?)

plus, beggars cannot be wussies.. the talks of second recession coming to europe (the world) and being someone who has a prediliction to overhoarding cosmetics,shoes and camera lenses + a bottomless gut for japanese sashimi has no right to say NO to job offers immediately right after getting my degree?

i am scared, but i think, i'm going for it anyway. you would be next to know what'll happen around the corner.

wish me luck.

Oh you will be just fine. Am sure you will adapt well and they will love you and you and Adrian will call it home soon enough. Is it far from his university?

Chi, if i base it on the job, no questons asked..I am 100 percent na gyud..my classmates urged me that i should take the job too, as even they have trouble getting a job;-) if sa kagwapa sa place, im sure, id fall in love with it,too..but there is that doubt in me..that nagging question: how will i fare being in the countryside and not being able to go to the city on a whim..right now, if feel nako mudalikyat sa city, i can in 25 minutes, im there..its so sad, that i have to move to get to my perfect job..but i dont want to sound ungrateful..at least, i know my perfect job is reachable;-) i dont know, my spirit is weak,Chi..i have asked my mom to pray for me alot..i have been praying, and i end up getting all sorts of answers, and this one too..but at the end of the day, His will be done...take good care,chi.
