J left early today to go for a job interview for a managing position at a cafe in Bristol. She's been looking for a job non stop for the past 2 months and every time I chatted with her, I'd reassure her that she'd find something just in time. Sure enough, down to the wire, the job offers are coming in! YAY! She deserves it. It seems to be a pattern with most people I've spoken to, foreign or local, that jobs are just non-existent right now. When I was in Barcelona, I ended up meeting a friend of B's who has a masters in linguistics and communications and hasn't been able to find work for months now. I wonder if I made the wrong choice in coming to the EU to look for projects. I was drawn here by the idea that the EU's environmental policies and sustainability initiatives just seem light-years ahead of North American ones.
Back to J. She came back to the apartment after getting this job with a huge smile and she actually looked like the weight of the world was off of her shoulders. I made her a celebratory brekkie and then we headed out to explore the city.

| This was my actual facial expression when I saw the view! |
J brought me to a part of town called Clifton that is sort of the Westmount of Bristol. There's a gorgeous ravine with a suspension bridge that goes across it. J made me close my eyes until we reached the lookout point so that I would get the best view possible right away. She's some kinda wonderful. It verges on obnoxious how in love with each other we are ;)

| So pretty! |
Amazing!
In other news, I'm planning on signing up for an intensive TEFL course that will be given the first weekend of Feb. I figure it'll be a great way to keep traveling and not die of starvation.
In the meantime, all I have to do is figure out when I will meet up with friends from home in France and Spain, as well as determine where I want to be for my bday! Tough decisions.
Ideas?
