The World Goes ‘Round and ‘Round

Today’s theme song is Flutter by Bonobo. One of my favorite songs ever, on one of my favorite albums ever. Enjoy :)

Last week was an interesting one. My boyfriend recently (finally) got a job. Last week was his first week, and last Thursday he got the news that he would be going to South-Korea for ~ three weeks, next Wednesday. Holy shit! I’m so excited for him! How cool is that? Secretly, I’m very jealous, heh.

Downpoint is that my house will be very empty the next three weeks :<

Pluspoint is I’ll be able to focus on work a lot better ;p

Fun thing about this job is that in two years or so, he’ll be sent abroad for a year or two. Know who’s coming with him? Yes, you guessed right: me! :D I’ve always wanted to live abroad. I feel you  can only truly explore places if you live there. The possible places we could go to (that I heard about so far) are Canada (the Head Office is located in the Middle of Nowhere though), USA (Houston), Australia (Perth) and Singapore. I wouldn’t mind going to any of these, holycrapwtf :D .

Honestly, now I can’t wait for these two years to pass by. I hope we won’t be sent off before I complete my master’s though, that would be inconvenient.

    Just wanted to say congratulations on your boyfriend’s recent job search culminating in the chance of a lifetime to live abroad.  Wow!  Of all those possible locales, I would probably choose Perth.  Have fun “getting stuff done” while he’s away.
