Yes. BIG decisions. In a surprisingly short period of time, I have made a decision to re-locate. TheChap is looking for work in London, and after a typically pragmatic and sensible conversation with my parents I realised that I really could go too.
I have loads of friends in London, and I would love to live there - even if its a fairly short-term thing. Why not? I am young. I have no unbreakable ties here in Derby - and it feels right.
In a curious twist of fate, the day after my conversation with the parents, I looked at a website for jobs with the Universities of London. And there it was. The perfect job for me. So I have applied. I rather feel that it 'has someones name on it' but - there is always a chance. (I will keep the blog posted on this...)
But - even if this particular job isn't my future - there are LOADS there. I am going to get applying for more jobs and get this moving. I feel genuinely excited about it and not a twinge of doubt. I will miss my house, my life here, my friends and most of all - my family being right there - but a 2 hour journey is nothing. I just know this is the right thing to do and the right time to do it and I just can't wait! Its not going to be simple - I have a house to sell, and probable double outgoings for a couple of months, but it can work. And it will!
I feel I have my parents blessing for this and that means the world to me.
I feel that 2006 is going to be a good year.
