I went on the Lobster Press website today, after ignoring it since March. What I found was both exciting and hurtful simultaneously. The boardbooks that the three other interns and I worked on are now being advertised. Thing is, they're not being advertised as works written by Marcela from Edmonton or Erin from Boise... they're crediting another lady with having written our words... having come up with our ideas...  I'm conflicted. I know that we agreed that we wouldn't get credit for having written the dang books, but is it too much to ask that they keep it UNcredited?? Do they have to credit anyone? Can't they just credit the illustrator...? The so-called author didn't even write  the books, so why credit her? Anyway, I'm going in circles (again). I'm disillusioned... I feel betrayed... I feel as though my words will never be heard. And while I'd rather be eulogized upon my death for having been a good and loyal person, I still want my  hard work t...

I only have three weeks left at Lobster Press . It is beyond shitty. I wonder when I'll come back to Montreal. I really want to stay (and everyone I know here is telling me I should) but the more I think about it, the more I realize that I shouldn't be stubborn right now. Montreal won't disappear... the city will always be here. I only hope I won't need three days of mourning like I did this summer, haha!! Then again, there are PLENTY of things I am looking forward to this holiday season... For one, the ENTIRE family will be together for the duration of the holidays... including my nephew Patrick's birthday : ) Ain't he cuuuuute?? Anyway, if I want to stay in this beyond amazing city, I think it's time I do something about it... like, you know, look for a job. Proactivity leads to opportunity!! HUZZA! (I just made that up... !! Hahah!) I just want someone to tell me what to do... I'm lame.

I'm baaaaa-ack!! My new roommates (Laura and Ariane) are so different from my former ones. First off, they're both girls... they're both younger than me... they're so CLEAN!! Oh my! (The dudes, while clean, were surface clean... these girls are DEEP clean haha!) I do admit that living with Paul, Max and Marc did have its perks: they were super funny, loved the same music I did, and went to bed super-late (I feel guilty when I stay up because Laura and Ariane go to bed at 10:30 and our floorboards are creaky and I don't want to keep them up and I know I do when I walk around... phew!) Anyway, they both leave on Fridays and don't come back to Montréal until late Sunday night. Oh to be alone, once more.... My first week at Lobster was divine!! I'm in love with my boss (I caught myself mimicking her body language which is indicative of how much I look up to her). She's super-smart and funny and has the BEST haircut I have ever seen on anybody.  So far, so g...

I actually got the internship at Lobster Press. I actually have a cheap (but good) place to live. I actually have a reasonably priced round-trip to Montréal. In short, I actually might move to Montréal... again. I'm so excited. Not a bit of me is scared. All of me is so ready to take on Montréal again. I know it's going to be different (being in that amazing city without Krystina, without any  of the stagiaires), but I know I'll manage. The only thing that makes me sad, is that I'll probably spend Thanksgiving alone. It's a good thing I have friends there now. It'll be cool seeing Leora (who's getting her Masters) and the Museum folk again. I'm so happy! Eeee!!
