Too Much Luck: Settling In
2003-08-19 | 12:37 p.m.
I submitted a security deposit for a room in a two bedroom suite, but started panicking about all its flaws and wanted to see one more place before the cheque is cashed.

Tonight, I look at a place which is right smack dab in the heart of gay town (which will please my mom to bits, no doubt: "Oh it will be soooo safe for you!"). The lady with whom I may be potentially sharing the suite sounds really nice so if she's willing to take me I may just slap down another cheque and go crazy. I saw the building and it looks all right.

Things have been going strangely smooth, and I'm wondering if this is a sign that I will be jinxed in the upcoming months. Just to summarize:

1. The day I arrive in the city, I get an email from a member of the film festival here saying that he will be in touch for an interview in the next couple weeks. This, after four months of not hearing a single word. The very day I get into the city. Strange.

2. On a whim, I apply online to a student travel agency. I decide that having a travel consultant gig with a student agency would be cool (if I can't travel myself, I'd like to promote it to others) and right after, walk into one agency. She refers me to another agency that is actually hiring but advises me not to visit the branch until next week. I return to the Internet cafe and bam! A note from the Manager she's advised me to see, with a timeslot for an interview.

3. While purchasing goods or services, I've encountered at least three boys who are just so comfortably friendly and smiley and full of quick witted responses to anything I say. This rarely happens to me.

I'm a pretty lucky gal, but really now. This is getting a little bit crazy.

Perhaps things may just work out here.

Fingers crossed.
