well, we finished up with the convivio summer school yesterday afternoon, had a nice last night on the town together, and said our goodbyes as everyone took off at their own appropriate moments to catch planes or trains.

since i’m not leaving right away, my schedule was quite relaxed, though there was a bit of confusion this morning when i found out that we were supposed to check out of our accomodations at 10 instead of 11. but they didn’t end up being super picky, so it wasn’t a big deal.

now here i sit in one of the common rooms in the hostel that i have booked (maybe i should offer to redo their website as my first job) for the next week while i begin the job hunt in earnest. i have wireless access, a squishy chair, some lunch, and the afternoon ahead of me to get my head together as i shift from one travel mode to another. i’ll try and post a wrapup of convivio before the weekend’s out, and on monday i’m going to the office of the employment agency that got me my working visa, so hopefully i’ll have a good sense of my options pretty soon.

the first decision is going to be whether i stay in edinburgh or not. it seems like a great time to be looking for small-time work around the city because the summer help is all getting ready to quit, so that is somewhat promising. i also have an awesome opportunity to sublet a room in the house where matthew, one of my new friends from convivio, lives, so that solves a huge question right there, and i’m very tempted to just snap it up. money goes a lot farther out of the city, though, so i still want to do a bit of research into what my options would be if i went somewhere else for a while. i hope to be able to decide on monday or tuesday, so i’ll let you know.
