Here we go. After spending the last nine months at me first "corporate" position I have booked my travel for NYC to catch up with an old friend and Montreal to meet some new ones. The last nine months have been very challenging for me personally. Converting from a life spent self-studying the pages of text which have prepared me for my position while working night and weekend shifts at restaurants to keep the personal coffers amply supplied. It's been a journey and some days are better than others but overall I think that the work has steadily improved although I doubt that the hours ever will align with my preference.
The beat and rythym of hopping trains between European cities has slowly begun to awake from it's winter slumber where it hibernated deep in the recesses of my being as I investigated source documentation from my clients. I am now poised to fly on Friday and the anticipation is all but completely distracting me from my work. I daydream of walking the streets of a new land, with new people and language. Though I can manage through my French in the streets of Paris I timidly shudder in fear of my probable ineptness to comprehend the idioms and colloquially evolved Quebecois francais. Ca serait dur j'imagine.
No matter the inevitable missunderstandings and missteps which will occur my blood races and my imagination soars towards the horizon of my experiences in NYC and Montreal.
