Okay, well you should know who I am if you've read the sidebar, and to be honest you probably wouldn't have found this page without me pointing you to it, so lets skip the introductory crap.
After recent turbulence on the home front and the prospect of a looming redundancy, I started seriously looking for jobs in London. Miraculously, this process was virtually painless and I got interviewed for and offered the job of my dreams within 3 days of sending my C.V out to people. I wasn't really prepared for this, expecting a painfully long job hunt as I was.
What this means is that suddenly it feels as if someone stuck a brick on the accelerator of my life, chucked me a tatty A-Z and told me to drive. Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy about the prospect of moving to London, I have loads of awesome friends down there and a fantastic job to go straight into. I think cautiously apprehensive might be the phrase.
I think it's reasonably natural to be second guessing myself a lot in this situation. I've lived with my current housemates for 6 years now, and I love them all. Of all the things I'm leaving behind in Sheffield, they'll be the hardest. Its true that you don't appreciate the value of something until its removal is impending, and now I know I wont just be able to come home and wander into Chris, Rick, John or Martin's room for a sociable smoke and a bitch about my day, it's rather jarring and I'm having lots of waves of "God... what am I doing?"
One thing is sure, I'm not gonna be cutting them out of my life, and I will be back to visit regularly. ('Fraid you wont get rid of me that easily guys! ^.^) I can't imagine life without any of them and one day I'll point them to this blog and they'll know that. I love you all and I'm gonna miss you like crazy, make sure you do actually come visit me!
At the same time, the logistics of moving to another city are spinning my head. I'm lucky to have a friend with a big white transit van whose services I've procured for a day. Now I just need to pack my life into a series of small boxes and actually do the move.
To any of my London friends who are reading this, I am looking forward to being nearer you all and the associated social life. But I'm gonna need you to be there for me while I settle in and understand if I get a bit homesick at first!
I promise this wont be an emo-blog... at least not most of the time!
