So I finally got my college acceptance letter in the mail. So now I have 17 days before classes start to get everything in order and register for classes. Assuming I can afford them.
I’m currently without Internet at my new place. We actually have to wait for comcast to show up an install it for us (assinine), and that happens next Thursday. Maybe by then I’ll have some photos of the new place to show you.
Cheers!

Welp, today’s my last day of work. Again. Although this time it’s of my own choosing. Originally the plan was to get my old job back and go to school part time. But then they downgraded my old job, so I’m just going back full time now. I think this is a much better idea.
So today I’m done with OHSU, probably for the last time. I’m also moving to the Sellwood area of Portland. It’s about four miles south of downtown on the other side of the river. I’m going to be rooming with a girl name Fiona that I was going to meet when I posted back in May. I don’t k ow her that well, but I feel better about her than I do about someone random off of Craigslist.
My move-in day is the first, and classes start on the 28th. Now I just have to focus on cleaning, packing, moving, studying and, oh yeah, actually getting accepted.
One hurdle at a time.

Well, I’m back. Have been for a little over a week now. Rome was a great break from the reality of not having a job. Chris and I saw tons, some I hadn’t seen before, some revisited. We also at mass quantities of gelato and pizza. Pizza by the weight. By far the best idea ever. I have pictures on the Internet. I’m still debating whether to link to them or not. It’s almost entirely old churches and ruins with no captions. But I’m afraid if I wait until I do label them, it’ll never happen.
So right now i’m sitting by the Salmon Street foutain, typing this on my jPhone watching the Williamette. It’s a beautiful day (after many rainy) and I’m just enjoying it.
I’ve been job searching, but nothing looks promising. Thankfully, I have unemployment this time. And a nice bit of saving. So I’m not hurting. While I really don’t want to deplete my savings, I’m also not pressured to jump at the first job I find out of desperation. That’s somewhat comforting.
In the meantime I’ve been doing a lot of knitting. I’m making a sweater just in time for summer, but it’s coming along a lot quicker than I anticipated. This past Saturday I went to the Gorge to hike only to find it rainly only there and only while hiking. Those photos I’ll post.
So there that is. Here’s to a quick end to the Great Recession.
