risking it for more than a biscuit

I'm currently waiting for an email to confirm that I have been issued a Canadian Visa, or, on the flip side, a letter to say that I haven't.

I've been offered a job working with horses in Quebec, conditional on me getting a visa pdq!

I quit my job on Friday. I don't mind my job, but I hate a couple of people I work with. I love some others and I will stay in touch with at least one of them, but honestly, the though of spending another year, summer, month working in an office, this office, playing cricket every weekend, not seeing my boyfriend because he's got a stupid-ass job with long hours and wondering why I'm not living my dreams. I'm 25 this year and I want to spend at least 2 of the next 5 years living in Australia. You only get to apply for Working Holiday visas until you're 30, so i've got 5 years to do what I want, as long as I can make enough money to fund it.

If I don't get my visa, I will go to Australia as soon as I've saved a bit more.

I love my horses but they're not going to be around forever and I have to do what I want to do as well. I want to do this. I want to travel around, I want to do work I love, and I want to have fun. That's all! For now...
