Job-hunting, I'm not sure I brought the right weapon.

Hey everyone!

I know that people are curious as to what is going on with me now that I've moved 2000+ miles away. I started this blog over a year ago as way to communicate my thoughts with the world, so I might as well start using it again.

Since I've been here, going on three weeks, I've be wandering around the beautiful outdoors. I don't think I'll ever be able to get over how lush and green everything is. Davey showed me a park where there are paths that cross all over town and people walk or run them to get away from the city, while still in the city.

Another thing that is just unbelievable is the weather. Coming from Texas, and the 100 degree temperatures, imagine my surprise to find it never gets past 70 degrees here. The days are warm and the nights are cool. My long sleeves actually have an active role in my life now as opposed to sitting in my closet waiting for that brief two week window sometime in January or February. Another shock is that it has barely rained since I've been here. Of course, I've been promised by the locals to just wait until summer is over! I'll get plenty of that rain I've been craving.

And, of course, the reason that I came out here in the first place was to find a job. No, I still haven't found one. However, I did land myself an unpaid internship working with a small publishing company! It should be great experience. I have applied to a number of other jobs, all having to do with publishing or communications, but in various fields. Hopefully, I'll hear back from someone soon.

Missing everyone I love who lives under the Texas sky!
