June 26, 2010

I've somehow managed to slice open the pad of my finger, it's really hard to type and try not to bleed on Yggy.  Only me.

I love Austin, and the hill country area of Texas. I have missed living in a metro area so freaking much, I've been driving around and people watching with a combination of wistfulness and excitement. I cannot wait to move! :)

Apartment hunting was both tiring and productive. I've found two complexes that I really enjoy, for a reasonable price (~800/month, bills, cable, and internet included).  One is more convenient than the other, but they probably won't have any apartments available in a month, and I can't ask them to hold one for me without signing papers declaring my impending move, soooo...eh.  We'll see.  Thank goodness it's online, so I probably won't have to make a special trip. (knock on wood!)

I sat down at Panera (how I've missed thee!) to drink a latte and use the free internet, and I picked the quietest corner to apply for jobs and generally be productive until Mom's award ceremony is done at two.  Around 5 minutes after I get settled, about 50 yankees settled their tour group right around me.  Loud people and screaming children abound.  Typical. ;)

Job hunting was less fruitful, just because all the applications are online! Everywhere I went, the people shook my hand and told me to see their website for an application.  I'm more or less okay with that. I was hoping to be able to hit some places that DIDN'T have online apps.  I did get my typing and spelling proficiency tests for Texas done, despite some woman making a HUGE scene and getting arrested about 4 feet behind me.  (Distractions, much?)

I am SO excited to be moving, and to be able to hang out with my family in town.  I can't wait! :)
