I did it!

It's official.  My firm made me an offer to stay on as a first year associate for next year, and I've accepted.  It's going to be great! =) 

Slides and Science

Julie came to deadly Edmonton to visit me!  We journeyed to the depths of the Telus World of Science, as well as the heights of the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark.  It was excellent.   

Also, we had a Spring Equinox Party, in which decision making devolved into a spin the egg method.  You can imagine what kind of fun was had by all.  =)

What will Spring Bring?

March 1st?!  To say that February flew by would be an understatement.  March now.  Already.  Technically only 3 months left of my articles, but officially it'll be more like 4-5.  Oh well, bureacracy. 

February has been wonderful.  Stressful, but lovely.  It's the kinda of inevitability and resignation that comes from realizing that absolutely everything is out of my hands.  Or rather, the series of contingencies and eventualities that I have set up of my life is all based on the work decision.  And right now, that's out of my hands.  It's kinda freeing to accept that. 

I wouldn't make a decision on my relationship, because I know that I have to go where I can get a job, and if that's not here, then I will have to walk away once again.  That kinda stress can't be good in a budding relationship, but that's where I am now, and that's the way it goes.  

I miss my family, but I still have not learnt how to actually co-exist in proximity with them, so maybe it's for the best that I don't return to Toronto. 

I've had a little love affair with Vancouver since summer 2005, and I hope to make it a full blown relationship one day, so there is that in the balance.  I also have a little thing for Calgary.  Yes, I am very fickle.  =) 

Come what may, I'll always treasure these days.
