Wednesday, December 10, 2003 so I'm beginning to question the 6 month plan. As many of you know, I'm much too scattered and commitment-phobic to come up with anything as grandiose as a 5-year plan but I tend to like to at least know what I intend to be up to in the next 6 months. For most of my life it's been easy - it always at least somewhat involved school - but with monday marking the last day (ever!!) of classes, and my last (ever) exam in a little over a week, I've actually had to think about the latest 6 month plan. I figured I'd solved all my problems by booking a flight to Austria and joining up with the swap program. That would at least get life out of the way for a few months so I could buy myself more time until something better fell into my lap. But no. It can't be that easy. I'm beginning to second guess this whole thing. First, I'm having issues with swap, mainly that I'm supposed to be leaving in less than 5 weeks and still don't know if I have a working visa. This wouldn't be a huge deal, but having gotten student visas for smaller european countries before I know it can take a few days. And it just so happens that many of those days this time are over the christmas holiday - a time when many people really don't feel like working - an understandable thing. Since I don't know if I have a working visa, I don't really want to quit my current job, even though I really wanted to give a month's notice (too late, that would have been the 6th).. also, I have an apartment to move, so I should really start thinking about packing it up, but what's the point if I'm not going. Yes I've got my ticket paid for, and I was verbally told I would be accepted into the program, but I need it on paper. If not, I'll go for a month and bum around.. just take a little holiday - I'll likely go to turkey or something - because if I'm not working I want to go somewhere I've never been before. Mixed in with all this fun I've got exams to write (side note, I'm not much of a studyer anyhow), and this recent trip to Winnipeg has reinstated my romanticized view of my time there and a large part of me really just wants to move back out there. so what to do. I'm still waiting out this visa thing, although my patience is growing thin.. posted by kim | 1:17 p.m.|
