Where I’ve Been

By Amanda – Posted on

Hello friends,

It feels like I’m emerging from a void or the “upside-down” with this blog post. It’s been a very long time since I’ve written here. I have some interesting updates that explain where I’ve been all this time.

My 2018 had a very slow start but has become a life-changing year. I began 2018 focused on applying to jobs and updating this website, all while working a part-time retail job. Finally, 80 job applications later, I got an opportunity to start my career in environmental management with an amazing two-year internship! I got news about my placement in June, and by July I had moved to a new city and started my job.  

I now live in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s a small, growing city with lots of character. Callie made it to Peterborough too, and together we’ve been getting settled in our new home. If anything, she’s adjusted much better than me. I still wake up confused sometimes, unable to tell whether I’m in Vancouver, Ottawa or Peterborough. Funny how it feels like it took forever to get to this point, yet my body still hasn’t adjusted to the new reality. 

My new city is beautiful in a small city way. The neighborhoods are lined with big, old trees, and the houses here have colonial style (think archways, columns, and bedroom attics). I’m still adjusting to all my new routines, but I’ve been loving going to work. It’s rewarding to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I’ve spent so long developing. All I wanted while working retail was to be intellectually challenged. I won’t take that for granted now.  

Well, that’s my update. Now that things have settled down, I hope to write here more frequently. Stay tuned for more updates on “Callie and Amanda’s Grand Adventure” haha. 

I hope you’ve all been well too! 

Amanda

  18. ACID – インディペンデント映画普及協会主催。 インターンシップは採用候補者の獲得や、自社のＰＲ、採用ミスマッチの防止などの効果が期待できる一方、受入れ目的に応じた開催期間や対象者、内容など、会社ごとに適したものを考えておかなければ、コストや労力のみを要してしまったり、自社のＰＲのつもりが自社のイメージを悪化させたりしてしまう恐れも考えられます。 ただし、球団旗は1967年以来紺地の中央に白文字で「H」が描かれたシンプルなデザイン（5代目）であり、赤が用いられたのは創設期の「CARP」の文字（1955年まで）と1958年の鯉の絵（3代目）のみである。資金難もあって監督はチームの生え抜き、すなわち他球団への在籍経験がない選手が昇格することが多いが、球団の黎明期には白石勝巳、門前眞佐人といった、他球団から選手として移籍してきた広島県出身者を中心とした選手が（選手兼任で、あるいは引退後に）監督をつとめることもあった。
