Life Update

Well, I thought I'd give everyone a current update of what's been going on in my life. I have recently applied for three internships and a job at Barnes and Noble, all in Washington--the Seattle area, to be precise. I'm hoping something works out. I know I'm only on four of what will turn out to be a million applications, but we can still hope that something will work out!

Right now my biggest concern is finding a place to live. Everything I thought would work out hasn't yet. So that's my annoyance right now. I'm hoping to find a two-three bedroom apartment with roommate(s). I'd like to have my own bedroom and bathroom--though the latter I can deal without--as well as some people that are generally clean. I like clean. I'm looking for cheap but I doubt that will happen. It's crazy hard trying to find a job in a different state not knowing if you can find somewhere that will help you make the bills or if you're going to have to work two or three jobs. I'm pretty sure I'll be doing at least two jobs (hopefully one will be an internship so I can start getting experience (hehehe! I almost put XP)). I'm also hoping my second job will be full time and pay well but flexible on the hours so I can do the internship part, as that is my biggest priotiry. I might have to take on cleaning people's houses...I wonder if that pays well.

Anyway, I'm still keeping up as much hope as I can. Life will certainly move on no matter what. I just hope it goes a little like I would like it too...though I'm not keeping up much hope for that.

Wow, you've been busy this last week or so. I'm proud of you for applying to so many places so far. Things will work out eventually. I'm sure of that. Finding a place to live will work out too. My suggestions are to contact a bishop of a singles ward in that area or to look close to universities. If you go to mormon.org and click the "worship with us" button it'll take you to a place where you can type in just "Seattle, WA" and it'll list the wards. I just looked and there are 3 single student wards in Seattle. If you click on a ward name it'll give you the information about the bishop. I think talking to a bishop would be the best option (especially because living with other Mormon kids generally means you don't have to listen to the noises a roommate and her boyfriend are making in the next room, ewwww). Keep up hope. Things will work out in the way that is best for you (though you may not immediately recognize this). Keep smiling and see you tomorrow!
