DC and/or Bust!

After a few weeks of pondering, contemplating, calculating, planning, and preparing, I think I am finally committed to moving to DC. A few weeks ago I took the first big step towards making the move when I told my boss that I didn't want to be scheduled for any more shifts (I guess you could say that I quit, but "quitting" sounds so hostile to me for some reason). This morning I finally took the next big step and bought myself a plane ticket. I guess it wasn't a REALLY big step though because thanks to credit card miles the ticket only cost me $50, but still, psychologically it feels like a big step. I feel like I'm committed now. I feel like I'm past the point of no return since it was a non-refundable ticket and there is now way I will ever see that $50 again.

I still have no job or apartment prospects yet, which certainly adds to the stress and uncertainty of the whole thing, but I'm pretty sure it will all work out all right. Even though I don't think they have the space to spare, Lisa and William are being so kind as to let me stay at their place while I look for a place to live. And as for the job, well... I've been sending out a few resumes and cover letters, but have not heard back about anything, which is disconcerting. I'll probably just getting whichever McJob I can after I've been there for a month or so.

So my last day of work is October 21st, and then I'm flying out on the 23rd. Pretty exciting (and a little bit scary)!

Today's video is "Always On This Line" by Sarah Blasko. I first heard of Sarah Blasko not quite a year ago when my sister came back from Australia where she went to one of her concerts. She kind of reminds me of Sarah McLaughlin for some reason, but it might just be because they look a little bit similar and are both named Sarah. As for this video, I think it is neat to watch, but I'm not sure what it is about being in front of a microphone that makes her dance like that... maybe she has some Norwegian blood in her system.
