London calling

After speaking to Melissa and bombarding her with question after question about living and working in London, I have decided to just wing it and stay there for 6 months regardless of whether I've found a job or not because it seems that job opportunities are pretty abundant there, but I'll still start sending out my resumes now. It is a huge decision, one that I hope I won't regret once I'm there. At least I'll have my cousin with me so it's not too bad. One friendly face in a foreign country. It would be a test of my social skills no doubt, but nevertheless, a really good experience from where I'm sitting. It's exciting, and now all I have to do is get through my final semester in one piece.

On a sidenote, how's everyone's Chinese New Year?! I had fun with the usual family [nuthouse] gathering and Bingo, but I had to put up with the endless "Why don't you have a boyfriend yet?" or "How come no boyfriend? Your brother has a girlfriend already, when will it be your turn?" questions. I'd give anything to stay in London forever just to escape questions like these. Actually, I'd give anything to stay in London forever, period. Questions like these beg not to be answered. How is one supposed to answer something like that anyway: "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I'm going to eat some worms" or "I'm waiting for your son to turn 20 and then I pounce" or "I'm waiting for Prince William to call me". Seriously, it's not like I have a choice. Not that I'm resentful, but Nigel bringing his girlfriend around this year really opens the floodgates for questions like these. I'm just glad it's over.
