Back in July, they flew me to Toronto for the day. Had to allocate some time for studying for the interview and the day itself under guise of "taking a much-needed vacation".
My interview lasted 5 hours. After 4 hours they started asking me if I needed a break, because I had been going at it non-stop for so long. At that point, I asked them to continue, as in, I'm fine, just ask the questions and I'll reply what I can reply. I was tired, and I really wanted to go back on the plane home (which got delayed by the way, sigh).
So in the end, I will maintain two apartments, one in Montreal and one in Toronto. One for my brother in Montreal, one for me in Toronto, which will be sweet, because I'll always have a place to stay whenever I am back in town (which will probably be often). I'm glad my new job allows me to have this arrangement and I hope to god my brother's school fees will not be the death of me (since I am ALSO paying for that).
In other news, spent the entire weekend plus the thursday prior in a sleep-addled state (Saturday I missed my metro stop because I zoned out on the metro), preparing for Matsuri Japon 2011. It was a big success (6000 people attended!), and all that running around was well worth it because I met some really awesome people and got to pig out on okonomiyaki, curry rice, and sapporo beer :) Now full attention towards my mural project and hopefully it turns out just as well.
Have 7 appointments lined up this weekend to choose the right place for me to live in Toronto. Hopefully I can make a decision this weekend so my mind can finally kick back in its chair and relax.
