So yesterday my journal turned one, however I didn’t have time to write anything because I was out with my cousins Sun, Cameera and Jay. But the day before yesterday something even better happened!!
I got through to the next round of the interview! I didn’t completely fail the coding challenge. I literally cannot even…! I thought for sure that I had no chance and that would be the end of that but clearly I did something right! All my hard work paid off. I’m so pleased! I saw the email and I was literally so happy! I was pretty down and exhausted on Friday but this really did pick me up a bit! I’ll be having the interview in just over a week’s time. I think I could potentially be leaving my current company very soon! I can’t wait to hand in my notice and say ‘see ya later motherfuckers’.
This also means I’ll be moving back to CapitalCity and probably be living at home with my parents again. But it’s good. I’ll get to save money and hopefully, Telis will be able to save lots too and then we can get a place together. My boyfriend really doesn’t like the idea of us being apart, but it has got to be done. If I can put away 50% of my salary each month, in 6 months we’d be able to afford an actual life together. I’m so excited! I now just need to study lots about the foundations of computer science because my interview will be a bit technical.
Yesterday’s meeting with the cousins was great as always. We ate dinner together then went to get drinks afterwards. It was a pretty chilled affair.
I could be launching my website soon. I spoke to Jay, who has a law degree, about where I’d need to pay tax if I’ve selling to a global market, and he said as long as I’m receiving money into the bank account of the country I’m in, then I’d only need to pay tax to that country. So that’s that.
I’m hoping to achieve three things before my birthday at the end of the month:
- Get a new job
- Launch my website
- Pass my driving test
If I can do it all before then then 2018 would be a very successful year for me!
I love that I don’t have to use my journal as often as I did before; it means that I no longer feel as lonely, worried, anxious, depressed, as I did this time last year.
