Are you in Canada or a different country? If so, that's awesome that you were able to make the transition from the US to a different country and then find the help you needed to move forward. I have no idea about the grad system in other countries. You are super brave for relocating! But if you're not in America, how did you go to an All American Buffet? Do they have those in other countries? If so, that's cool!
I've not been outside of the country, except for maybe just over the border in Mexico - that is, when I used to live in Southern California. I don't live there anymore, and I never will. Their housing costs are outrageous! You'd need like 5 roommates to be able to afford it out there!
I hope you are able to find what you're looking for. Life is mysterious, and there are always opportunities that may come our way when we least expect it. That's kind of what I'm hoping for on my journey.
