its been great living with Aunt J+ Uncle J. But, the time has come to move out. They need their space again, to live a quiet retired life, without me and my crazy schedule of work and late nights and eating all of their bread and cereal. :)

so.. i must go. the time has come. but where?

well...

i have a place to live! i have a place to live!

with Elisabeth and friends.

Stockton Cres, Gordon Head- a yard full of trees, a comfortable couch, and a nice kitchen with mugs and a teapot- s'all I need, friends.

Victoria in summer.. here I come. Place to live- check. Need a job. Need to finalize my nursing job. Need a place to live in Vancouver. it'll all come with time.. trying not to worry bout it.

Oh, I suppose I never did fill you in on what the plan was. You faithful invisible blog readers, even if there are only a few. 'what?! she's staying in victoria? but i thought she was going to vancouver? wait wasn't vic the plan all along? stupid girl changes her mind like the wind.' sort of. sometimes. it depends. but this is fast and firm now, this one..

I want to begin my nursing career in Vancouver. But I don't want to leave Victoria yet. Hence, the express route of graduating high school, uni '04, '08 has been halted, somewhat. I'm going to spend the summer in Victoria. Study for the RN exam in my spare time. Go back to ON in June for a couple weeks- exam, convocation, Tara's wedding. And here, on the island- live it up. Lots of social time, lots of friends over and exploring the place and meandering along the beach and wandering downtown and biking everywhere... in the meantime getting a little job at a bakery or coffee shop of some sort. Then start, hopefully, at Vancouver General Hospital in August. Fresh and ready to go.

sounds good to me.
