Today was the official "First Snow" in Paris. I had absolutely no notion of getting up at the ass crack of dawn to go out go shopping, mainly because the French wouldn't ever dream of doing it (um, and they don't have Thanksgiving here. Right.). Instead I slept unreasonable late - because I am, after all, unemployed - and spent today blanketing the interwebs with my writing resume.
What a novel idea, applying for jobs that I would actually enjoy doing. Do people do this? Does this happen regularly? I find it quite intriguing as a general practice.
I know that I not having a "formal" education is going to hold me back but, really when did this ever stop me from doing anything I wanted? I got a job in France, after all - a feat they said could not be done! I suceeded! And then I left. But it's all part of the process, I think.
This time, the excerise will be in keeping the eye my eye n the prize. The prize, of course, being a job I can go to every day and respect myself while still following my dreams to someday work fulltime as a writer. That is a nice, full statement of affirmation isn't it? I like it. It has positivity and good intention written all over it.
As for the snow, it didn't stick around for long, but it made for good motivation to keep indoors and be productive.
And have I mentioned that the cat doesn't mind me being home? He mostly does this:
He doesn't believe in productivity.

While I could never return to the States, I understand why you need to. My wish is that you have every single dream that you have come true. You are special and wonderful and beautiful and brilliant and such a good person. More than anything...You have this drive this need and you don't stop. You will do great things even if they are little things because people like you just do...That.
Gros bisous from Switzerland.
Tracy
oh and by little things I meant little by your standards...Big for others.
Sounds like a perfect day! And I'm sure Boo enjoys having the company (such a cutey).
Juliet - I kind of enjoy that our lives have become parellel although things have been remarkably different I feel such a connection with all you've been going through and all you've achieved (YES, achieved!).
How good does quitting feel? do you feel the FREEDOM. I am just so happy you're out of the situation, it sounds so terrible.
I was clenching my teeth and grinding my teeth so badly due to my bad job, that I started having my gums recede and my whole jaw and head ached.
Just found your blog and I'm sad you're moving to Philly and won't be writing about Paris anymore! I moved to Paris in August with my husband, but without a job and it's been a struggle looking for something that will make me happy and earn some dough. I totally feel your pain on that one. Good luck back in the States!
