Everything is Coming up Ashley

I have been living in Victoria for over an entire year, and I can safely say that it has been one of the most difficult years of my entire life. However, instead of reflecting on all the terrible things that happened and why most of this year has been an uphill battle, I will instead tell you how the winds have changed.

In the past four months...

I started and finished my thesis, went through the lengthy revision process, had it accepted and signed off on by my thesis committee, and today I received my official letter from the university saying that I am officially graduating!

I told my job here on the island that I needed to be closer to my family, gave my official resignation, and started to make plans to move back home. My last day of work is in three weeks. After that I will then attend my convocation and then I will head back to Winnipeg.

I started to look at potential jobs in Winnipeg, sent off a total of one resume, received an interview, and got a job offer for a marketing position at a publishing company in Winnipeg.

Everything is coming up Ashley and it feels like my hard work and year of misery has paid off.
