Ladies and Gentlemen, Family and Friends (and everyone in between) I am officially employed!!! Hoorah! The long days of waiting, procrastinating, worrying, and enjoying my lazy existance are over. I am now a general assistant at Monachyle Mhor Hotel located 60min from Edinburgh. It's very quaint actually- it's an 18th century farmhouse made over into a cozy yet chic 14 bedroom hotel. It's family run by two brothers and their sister. It's located in Trossachs National Park in Highland Perthshire (I just pretend to know what that means-my sense of geography here is awful). You can look over the website yourself if you like- http://mhor.net/
The craziest part is I start tomorrow! Yep, I check out of my hostel, jump on the train, and arrive in Stirling (which is about 1/2 an hour from my new digs) to meet one of my employers- Melanie. I'm a little overwhelmed at how fast this is moving, not quite sure what all the job entails, but I'm soooo excited at the prospect of a new challenge and to have the sense of finally being settled. My main worry now is greeting my new employer for the first time at the train station with my excessive amount of luggage. I hope it all fits in her car....
Anyways, I found out about this job about five minutes after I sent my CV out to about 5 new job prospects. Now I have the unpleasant task of calling the temp agency I registered with to say I no longer need their service, and to call the manager at Topshop where I was lined up to go to a recruitment night on Wednesday. I always feel so awkward in these situations, but I think it's good for your character.
Ok, I have to rush off now- I'm trying to go to mass at least three times a week for Lent and the service starts in nine minutes. I just want to say thank you for all y'alls prayer and support during these past two weeks...I might have finally found my place here on this side of the pond! Besos!

Wow! What an opportunity. We were looking at the website, and looks like you have been really blessed. I was really touched by your Lenten resolution to attend Mass.
