Crikey, 2 weeks (27th) until I move across the Atlantic and make my new home in Toronto.
I've been excited for months about the move, but as it gets closer and closer, I'm starting to get a little anxious.
We've sorted as much out from this side as we can, apart from finding a place to live, which will be sorted this week I hope. We do have places to stay until we find somewhere, so not the end of the world if we don't find something before hand.
There are so many "What if's" running through my mind and I think I'm making myself paranoid that something will go wrong and we will be left stranded. I always get the feeling when been questioned by an official of any form that they are out to get me and trying to make me slip up. Then I feel guilty of something that doesn't even exist and become really nervous. So I'm terrified of going through customs, even though I know I'm being totally paranoid.
I can't apply for work until I get there, because I still havn't been given my permanent residencey number, which will be given to me once I go through customs when I land in Canada. So thats a big worry, not being able to find a job quickly. Although we have enough money to cover a couple months rent and bills, that money would preferably go towards furniture and making where ever we live more homely. (I also will need to get a new monitor and power supply for my PC, but my wife doesn't see that as a high priority... I think shes nuts. :greenpbl:
I'm going to be applying to the Police force, but that is a long process and I'm not sure when they are having their next intake. I have details of a police information session that I will be attending and then all my questions will be answered and hopefully will get that ball rolling within the first week of landing.
I think the main feeling for me is total independence.
I'm only 23, but I have lived away from home for over 4years, worked and paid all the bills with my partner. So we have already been through that stage, but we also knew that we had a safety net. My parents have always said that we can stop with them if we ever needed to, but now thats not going to be the case (even though it's only a plane ride away).
My wifes parents have said the same, but they live in totally different parts of Canada to Toronto and other major cities (St johns, NF and High Level, Alberta) and they're not really places full for of oppourtunites.
I guess getting it out in writing has helped me see some sense and give myself more confidence in the whole situation.
I'm a positive thinker, but I also like to keep a level head and understand any possibilites that may arise.
Photography is totally out of the window with me at the moment. I havn't taken a photo since September and I have no idea when I will be able to get out there in the future. Though I am very excited about the propect of exploring Toronto/Ontario and finding the beautiful spots.
That is all.
