I’ve got a job! I will not have to forage for food in dumpsters!  Starting in mid-April, I will be a communications coordinator for a company in St. Eustache, 40 minutes out of Montreal.  I will be paid decently.  I will be able to continue sinking roots in this great town.  Yeah!

My girlfriend celebrated her birthday yesterday.  She took delivery of my gift and called me today to say she loved the gift and she loves me.  Yeah!

I will be back in Edmonton in one month and will see friends and family and my girlfriend and life will be blissfully happy for a few happy carefree days.  Then I will put my little Golf on the road and turn it towards the east, for an epic cross country trip back to Montreal.  I am looking forward to this trip.  It takes about three days.  I’ve done it twice before.  It’s pretty overwhelming to see the enormity of this great country.  CBC radio sure helps pass the hours and hours and hours spent alone.  I like CBC radio.

I am swamped in school work, even more swamped now that I know I have to finish it all in exactly four weeks.  But I don’t mind.  I’m a Montrealer now.  It’s official.  I am a proud resident of what I consider to be the best city on earth.
