Job hunting here hasn't been as much of a drag as I expected, obviously not a blast but it's not hopeless; there are some pretty cool leads. I found an opening at a record store right on 1st and Pine which is an amazing location, and I had randomly met the guy working there at a party over the weekend so I'm really hoping that will work. My other brilliant idea was to get a job working in the same building as the Century ballroom, so even though their weekly dance is 21+, maybe I can get in through work connections. If those don't work out I have put my resume in every restaurant I have come across, and also greenpeace? Random, but it might be cool. Jon says standing on street corners and bothering people for donations is like shooting a big bad whaling ship with a rubber bullet. Maybe so. I'd still be getting paid.
When I came here there were some doubts in the back of my mind that I would be able to make it work for the whole summer, and that I might have to get a flight back to Rochester, but I don't think that will have to happen. There are so many things I want to do, not only in the area but also along this coast. Trips to Vancouver, Portland, Forks (bahahahaha, that's right, we are going to see Edward there) are all potentially in the works. and they are also saying that flights to Hawaii and Japan might be cheap from here, but last two are definitely a stretch.
The city is going to be alot of fun this summer though, I'm really excited. When I'm not working to make money I will be practicing cello, dancing, and exploring. Despite my weird unnatural urge to fill every second of every day with something to do, I want to leave time to be spontaneous and have adventures.

Make sure you hook up with Tanya or Nicole or both when you go to the city proper.
