July 2008 - I returned from my trip across the country. It, to say the least, changed my life. It really was a wonderful experience. Who knew that I would like Louisiana and Mississippi so much? Looks like I'll just have to do some more traveling down there.
August 2008 - I don't know what happened to August. It went by very quickly.
September 2008 - Semi-got my act together. Made some decisions, like moving to Portland, OR. Met some ladies who became my roommates on Craigslist...really should have been more scary, but I lucked out big time!
October 2008 - MOVED TO PORTLAND. And started/semi-continued the job search. It is a daunting task. I apply and apply and apply. Rarely do I hear anything back. But I know I'm trying the best I can. When the time is right, the job will reveal itself. To look on the bright side, at least I am getting a lot of practice writing cover letters and fine-tuning my resume.
November 2008 - OBAMA. Probably one of the greatest nights I've had in Portland was spent dancing in the streets after Senator Barack Obama was elected President. My roommates and I were watching the national coverage on ABC (the only channel we get) and all of us were taken by surprise when at 8:00 pm PST the anchors announced Obama's election. It took us all a second to register what happened, but then we got up and did our very own "Obama-dance." After his acceptance speech (which by the way brought us all to tears), we went out to SE 37th and Hawthorne Ave and created "Crosswalk Parties." It was a great night to be in any metropolitan area. And I'm glad I got to celebrate with fellow supporters.
That basically brings us up to speed. I'm feeling a little more motivated to post more - but we'll see if that becomes a reality. ;)
