my reach is global. my cause is noble.

SG is finally online.

This town is incredible. There is no way around it.

I experienced my first bout of homesickness when my friends (aka: my family) all called me last night. But to be honest... I really expected it to be harder than this. Don't get me wrong. Its really hard to be away from the people I love but I still haven't had any second thoughts about my decision. I'm slowly meeting people and making friends. I'm still amazed at how nice and welcoming people are in this town. I have only met ONE original Calgary resident since I've moved down here. Oddly enough everyone is either from New Brunswick or Ontario.

I still haven't found a job. I had a promising opportunity working in the kitchen at an AMAZING bistro but they were looking for kitchen staff... not servers. I thought that maybe I could jump right back in and work in a kitchen again after my two year break.

I was wrong.

It's really horrible to realize that my thousands of dollars went to waste but I really can't work in a kitchen anymore. I was really convinced that one day I would maybe be able to pick up where I left off but the reality of the matter is that it will NEVER happen. After working a shift in the kitchen the other night I have come to realize just how much I despise working on a line. It's really a shame because I would have fit in so perfectly at this establishment. Everyone took me in with open arms and I just loved the size, the atmosphere and even the owner of the place. I'm disappointed that he didn't have any serving jobs available. I didn't burn any bridges though and if he ever needs someone he said he would give me a call first and foremost. So keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm going to end this for now because it's really late and I'm drowsy but I still have soooooo much to say therefore I will update the first chance I get.

keep on l i/o ving.
