Why I Hate People

I respectfully disagree with Third Eye Blind

I don't want to go to London,
I told you I don't care,
I don't want to go to London,
To live there.

- Third Eye Blind's "London"

With my P.Eng. (hopefully) starting to loom larger on the horizon, I find myself wondering... "So what the hell do I do now?"

I've said for years that I'd love to move to a major European city once I had my P.Eng., as I would then be a marketable commodity in places that have never heard of Queen's (i.e.: the world at large). This becomes far more feasible, being a British citizen, and all, especially with the EU and such... but it's getting to the point where this isn't just a fanciful dream, anymore. I could actually get to do this fairly soon!

Just typing that actually fills me with an odd combination of excitement and fear. I'm not the type of person that takes many chances in life. In fact, I tend to be a textbook case of paralysis by analysis... basically thinking about what I'm going to do for so long that the course of action all but gets laid out before me - whether I like it or not. However, this doesn't seem like the kind of plan that is going to just fall into my lap. I know I'm going to have to actively pursue this if I want to get anywhere with this idea. I'd probably lean towards somewhere in the UK, hence the title of the post, for (of all things) piping-related reasons... but really, even somwhere like Berlin or Brussels isn't far enough away to inhibit me getting tuition from Scotland.

I just can't quite get my head around the idea that this might actually come to pass... like, soon.

    That would be bitch ass sweet. As an aside, "hot lips" is an instructor at the NPC.

    "Hot Lips"? Are we talking about M.A.S.H., or a certain piper?
