So, it's more or less decided, I'm packing off to Canada for a year.
Tonight I've knocked off my first version of my résumé, e-mailed a potential employer to check who to address my first covering letter to and had a sandwich.
Tomorrow I go to town, where I can (hopefully) get the passport photos and photocopy my passport (bleargh) for my application and go to HSBC to ask about opening an account in C$ for when I'm there.
And if I have to wait around for a bus, maybe look for a pub with a pool table to kill some time. Though the only pub I used to know that had one has since turned into a table-dancing place. I can't play pool with footprints on the cloth :^)
Then when I get home, providing someone answered my other e-mail, I'll make my first job application.
And now that I've told people about it I'm less likely to think screw it and stay in bed.

yeah, well done duck dude, be sure to give us regular reports once you get there, as I plan to do something similar myself and it'll give me an idea of what to expect.
what sort of job have you applied for and where exactly are you headed in canada?

Supposed to be a nice place. Have fun if you do get to go.
Nice coincidence. Come January i'm off to Canada for a year also, going to St Catharines, Ontario to stay with a friend who said she'd put me up there. I just need a grand by January to help me on my way there.

I'm not sure.
I feel like it's always only positive within the boundaries of that overall feeling.
Right now I struggle to think of anything that's felt.. really important to me.
But maybe it works a little like the way you can't 'remember' how pain feels - you can't recall how that broken leg really felt.
But I'm pretty sure I wasn't all that upbeat writing this, however it came across. It's just when I think about things too much that I need to let stuff out.

Good luck, Dr Duck and keep us posted on how it goes.
My mate's Canadian and I'm visiting Canada in a few months.

Well good for you for doing something positive about a dream as it were.
Just as long as you pop on here still.
