Getting Ready

Hello Everyone:

With less than a week to go before I take off for the UK, I'm finally in the mindset of this is going to happen. The only blip on the scanner is having to reschedule an interview with the City Planning Department. I got an email from them today about interviews next week. Uh, problem. I just so hope I can schedule an interview the week I come back. I really don't want to miss this opportunity. Maybe I can finally seal the deal. I can't exactly put the trip off a week.  I just have to hope things work out the way it's meant to be.  Mom is still getting on my nerves about all sorts of trip-related things. I sometimes think that she doesn't want me to go or have such a miserable time that I'll regret it. So typical of her to throw shade on anything exciting or good in my life. I can only imagine if I finally get this job with the The Planning Department, what her reaction will be. Actually, I know what'll it be: "Are they paying you?  How much? What kind of people work there?" and so forth. Basically, she'll just crap all over it until I just hate being there. I know I shouldn't let her get to me but she just jabs away. One reason I don't talk to her so much. I can only imagine what she'll say when I get back. I'm too tired to think anymore.
