"If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." - Lewis Carroll
I checked in with the archaeology job again. Apparently they still haven't finalized things with their clients up north, which means that they still don't know if they can hire additional people for the field season. My contact seemed frustrated by this - but not frustrated at me. She again encouraged me to keep in touch.
But things are too close to the wire. I'll be homeless on the 31st. I can't stay here.
So I've bought my plane ticket to Newfoundland. I'll be heading that way on the 30th.
In theory I know that this hasn't changed my situation at all. I could still get this job and head to Calgary and actually get to use my degree for once. If everything turns out well than this will just be a visit with my brother that I really need.
But it's really hard not to feel discouraged.
Plus, I'm in the midst of packing and moving. It's hard not to feel discouraged at this point. On the one hand: Why do I have so much stuff? On the other hand: All my worldly possessions fit into roughly 17 boxes/bags (including the duffles I'm taking on the plane).
