It's been a long time

I haven't written here in several weeks. It's crazy how long it's been. Nothing new has really been happening. Well, that's not entirely true. So, here is a brief update.

I am currently helping to organize an art fundraiser for Romero House, a non-profit organization that assists refugees with finding community, housing, legal services and advocacy. It's going to be pretty sweet if things actually work out. Right now I am not feeling so hot about it. First, there are some problems with the liquor license. The LCBO guy (named Jesse) called me on Friday and told me I was missing all sorts of documentation for my application. I had no idea how I missed all this but I need to get the documents fast which means I have to run around like a crazy person. I am also having some serious issues with finding panelists for our documentary screening and discussion night. Right now I have only managed to contact four people. Two have confirmed, another has declined and I am still waiting to hear back from the other person. Honestly, I just want God to make the whole thing work out and be successful.

I got fired for the very first time. I have never been fired in my entire life until last Tuesday when I was abruptly dismissed. At first I thought it was something I did incorrectly but then found out that I was fired so the roommate of the chef could take my place. I was rather upset to say the least.

I gave in my notice at Hot House. Finally after eight months of pure torture and angst I got up the nerve to quit. It's not anything fantastic but it certainly makes me feel so much better. Going in to work has a new meaning when I know I am leaving in a week and a half. In some ways I wish I was leaving when they really needed me but in the end that's just me being selfish and vindictive. My work experiences here over the last few months have been very negative. I have never been in a position where I absolutely hated my job and my boss and had to stick it out for various reasons (financial, spiritual etc...). Things I have learned from Hot House: I NEVER EVER WANT TO WORK IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY AGAIN!!!

I am most likely moving home to Barrie. I am not competely certain about this yet but am pretty sure it's going to happen. I don't want to think negatively about it so I am working hard to think of all the good things moving home will entail. I will have more money to pay off debt, I can study and focus on my LSATs and applying to law school, I will actually have time to apply for overseas jobs b/c I am not working so much and I can help my parents out with cleaning house and taking care of my grandmother. I guess my worry is that I'll be stuck in Barrie longer than I anticipate and be one of those people who works in the mall at the Telus kios at Christmas time (cough pride issues...cough cough).

I'm also feeling crummy about leaving my apartment. A girl came to look at the place on Thrusday night and she'll probably take it. I know I should just let her have it but I feel so possessive over it. It's so great and in such a nice location and... and I just like it so much. Leaving it will be very sad for me. But, it IS just a place to live. God has always been good to me in finding apartments and roommates so why should I question Him now?

Anywho, that's life in general right now. Not fabulous but not terribly sucky.

And one more quick question: who are all these anonymous people who comment on my blog? Really? I think you should write me a personal email letting me know your identity. The curiosity is killing me!
