Today is my penultimate day in a job I’ve had for almost four years. I don’t have another job to go to but I have plans.

I’m going to freelance as a copywriter, as a photographer, I’m 40,000 words into my first novel.

I don’t have the words to explain how these last four years have changed me. But it’s not the end. It’s just the beginning.

Today is my last day in a job I’ve had for a year. I don’t have another job to go to but I also have plans.

I’m going to finish my PhD and I’m going to write a novel.

I don’t have words to explain how the last six years of my life have changed me. My I’ll put them into writing soon.

I love your pictures, they have kept me accompanied for a while. (And now you’ve made me cry.)

All the best for your new beginning,
Joana.

What a coincidence, today is my last day in a job I’ve had for a year as well.
But for me that is a good thing because I’m so busy with university… As soon as I have the time I’m gonna for on my freelancing career though… Good luck with your plans, Victoria, I’m sure you’ll succeed in everything you wish for as you’re so talented!

Good for you for pursuing your goals. The next 2 1/2 years of my life are planned out but I’m not sure where they’ll take me exactly. It’s amazing how 2 1/2 (or 4) years can change you. Congratulations!

Congrats! It’s nice to have plans even if they are a bit scary. I’m in Melbourne, Australia hoping and praying that I can find a job!

highfive! this can only lead to awesome things. :)

i might have to do the freelancing-photography thing too. life is way too short to get jerked around by other people who aren’t working with you, but against you, and co-workers who are made of radio-culture spam.

here’s to the future!!

This is beautiful, congratulations.
When your novel gets published let us know, so I can buy it :)

If you need a proof reader, let me know. Hope Paris was grand. We need to talk soon, otherwise it will be 2012 before we know it.

Good work Vic! You’ll be great – if the novel is anything like the blog it’s bound to be a hit!
