Life Changes

Sadly yesterday was my final day at the Toronto Botanical Garden which has been my home away from home for the past year. Working at the TBG has been such an incredible experience and I have learned so much from my time there. This is the first time that I’ve left a workplace that I’ve been at for a lengthy period of time so I’m still feeling a bit bitter sweet about it. If you’re ever in Toronto I encourage you to visit the TBG! http://torontobotanicalgarden.ca/

I am currently packing for my flight to Chicago tomorrow where I’ll be doing training for my new job. I’m a bit nervous because I don’t know what to expect but I am looking forward to the deep dish pizza! To calm my nerves I keep looking at this message I received from a friend in IRC when I announced that I was hired for a new position. It makes me smile.

If you have any suggestions on things to do in Chicago then your thoughts are much appreciated as I’ve never been there before. Hopefully I will have time to explore the city after working.

I feel thankful that there are such tranquil places for me to escape to. My anxiety has been spiking lately and someone suggested I take a walk. So far, it is making me feel better.

I received this lovely image of our gardens in my inbox today from one of my co-workers. Things are starting to grow!

So it is official now, I will be able to continue working after April!

Having job security now makes me feel so much better. I was afraid that I’d have to scramble to find something after my contact ended here in order to pay rent and my other bills. The job market is tough out there so I’m so thankful to have this opportunity.

Someone left a platter of cookies on my desk.

I have a terrible headache and all I want to do is crawl underneath my dino-blanket and sleep.

Oh wait, I have to meet with the Korean Consulate-General in an hour.
