What a week.
I've been bouncing between calm and chaos all week.
Still haven't had my call yet, so I'm no further forward than I was last week. I've been doing what I can to distract myself from this but if I'm honest, it hasn't really worked.
I'm a terminally impatient person, I think it's because I'm a structured plan type of person. I want to know now, yesterday even, so I can begin making the appropriate plans, finding out the most pertinent details.
I've been awake from 5.45am every day this week, just to be ready for the call that will come. I've been gleaning little snippets of information from various websites regarding the placement process. It's solidly comforting to know that there are a lot of people still in my boat.
I read on the Facebook page for my company (yeah, Facebook is where you should find out all your important information kids) that calls will be continuing in full force until the 14th of February. So I have an end point in sight, a date where I can crumble into a pile of dust if I haven't received a call.
I think it would be easier if I could be jealous of the people who have been placed already, if I could loathe and turn green with envy. But I can't. If anything, it's making me more excited. I'm pleased that the wheels are turning and that I'm in the process. That they've had their call means there are fewer people between me and my call. It's the anticipation that's killing me. Still, it will happen. I will get the call telling me I'm going somewhere lovely. It will be good.
I got my International Drivers Permit on Friday, it's rather charming. It is also the most inexpensive part of this journey so far. I still have my dental work, new glasses and medical appointments to deal with. But I can cross "IDP" off of the list now, it's one more preparation I can make. Still unsure how to go about the TB testing but I'm sure that will be covered at some point.
I have lots to do today and I should be crossing things off the list instead of talking about it here. I have to hunt for the second display folder I bought for the Recruitment Seminar. I have to print off all the correspondence from my company and I think it'll be easier carried and utilised if it's in the display folder. I wonder where I've put it... I'm also attempting a monster room clearance today. I've had no energy all week which has meant very little has been done. But today, it has to be done. I'm in a room which resembles a burglary scene... It has to be taken care of. I may also box up the remainder of the books...
Today will be good. < nod >
