London...Tomorrow

I'm officially old. Ever since I turned 25, I've been feeling really tired. Is that a symptom of getting old? If so, no thank you.

I had an amazing birthday. First, there was a bit of pre-drinking at my apartment and then we went to Sanctuary. So many people showed up. After a bit of dancing, we decided to go to the club next door. It was a really lovely club. All the guys abandoned us and it was only the girls dancing all night. My feet were killing me and the following day I just lay in bed, watched HGTV and rested my feet. There was no hang-over!

On Sunday, Trevor came over in the evening with red roses and when it was 12:30 in the morning, he pulled out a cake, wrote 24.9 in icing and stuck a candle in it!

It was a huge birthday celebration just for me. It was all about me. How sweet is he?

Monday (the actual day) was great. I had an early meeting at school and then found out I didn't have to go to work (YES). I watched Atonement with a friend. Had a cup of delicious coffee. It was just the perfect way to end the day.

Atonement was amazing. I've read the book years ago for an English class and really enjoyed the style of the book. I was glad to see that the movie was respectful to the book and through really well done flashbacks the whole story unfolded.

I was amazed. I'm usually disappointed with movie adaptations of books, but not in this case and certain dialog was taken right from the book.

Now, it is Wednesday night. I'm composing my research questions and getting ready for London. My flight is tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.

I hope I'm ready. I hope I get all the interviews I need. I hope it just all goes well. I hope I can sleep on the flight.

Remember when I mentioned a job opportunity in Poland? Well, something even more interesting has happened. The editor-in-chief told me of a Web Editor position that they are offering me. It would require daily updates of short stories (written by me) and lots of features. They want to make the website the only one in Poland that has up to the minute news.

I'm confused more than ever. I knew I wanted this when I had no one in my life, but now I can't just think of myself. I need to think of my life with someone else. Or maybe I shouldn't? I haven't even brought myself to tell him of this development. I'm just scared to say it. He is very supportive and knew that I was going to do this before we started dating, but things have gotten serious between us. What's one to do. I'm not even sure if this opportunity is worth it. I'm not sure if I should be looking for work in Canada or somewhere else in the world. I'm starting to get more confused because time to make a decision will come faster than I can say "4 months".
