Today was the last day that Amnesty International was going to call the shortlisted people. As my blog title suggests, I didn't get a call, email or letter in the mail. It sucks. Not gonna lie. Edmonton living for a writer is not the easiest thing. I was online today trying to find an internship job posting anywhere in Canada and sadly, there were none (well, there were a few UNPAID ones, but DWL's description clearly states: PAID internship). I am so frustrated. I mean, I love my job. In fact, my job was the first job to which I applied that I actually looked forward to working at. Selling movie tickets and popcorn is fun.

It's a bit scary, a bit exciting but all fantastic. I've been deliberating and rewriting and editing my application for close to three weeks now. Go figure. I'm normally so impulsive and instinctive (unless I'm shopping. I'm so indecisive when it comes to exchanging money for service or product. Go figure.) I guess I'm afraid of both outcomes: if I don't get it, I'll be crushed! If I do get it, I'll have to decide once and for all what I'm going to do next year. Very scary thought. In other news, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I can't believe how 2007 just whizzed by. It's so strange to think of years and how fleeting they are. It's both a blessing and a curse, really. I was sick, though, so you can imagine how NOT fun new year's eve was. My momma  made gooooOoood food, though. She...
