Things are going well!  I'm moving out tomorrow - Not a massive move with all my stuff, but I'll take what I need, and come to my parents' house a lot for things ( Read more... )

My road trip was incredible.  I drove about 6,000 miles... probably more.  It spanned three weeks.  We saw amazing things.  Took lots of pictures (most of the time I was driving and my cohort was taking pictures).  I'm submitting some now (backwards), and I'll submit more later.  LOTS more, I'm sure!!  Most of the time we were couchsurfing, which I ( Read more... )

Oh, so many things have been happening ( Read more... )

I've had a good couple of months. I've been applying for lots of jobs... Mostly retail, but cool kinds of retail. Waiting to hear back from World Market. Interviewing with Restoration Hardware (which isn't actually a hardware store) tomorrow. I subbed for middle school English classes for one day. I went in to talk to some high school finance ( Read more... )
