Well it certainly has been a while since I've blogged. Quick recap: I've moved to California. I can't find a job. Money has beyond dwindled. School starts in a week and though it's only one class, I'm not ready. We're probably moving into a different apartment in a matter of months. Knowing this prevents me from feeling fully "settled in" - as does not yet having a job. Since I'm not yet working, I can't afford to take my dance classes. Between not working, not attending classes and not being able to start dance, there's been no opportunity to meet people and make friends. Which means I am basically sitting around an apartment with two guys every day. I've spent an obsessive amount of time cleaning and trying to spruce the place up a bit.

But I'm not complaining... not by a long shot. It's warm -- very warm. We go to the pool (a few steps away from the apartment) pretty much every day. The blue skies and sunshine do wonders for my mood. I'm only 20 minutes from the beach, which is nice. Though we haven't been there since I've moved out here. I have an interview set up for tomorrow and I'm really hoping to get it. It's a lot of hours with decent pay which means I can stop worrying about bills and finally be able to take dance. Hopefully I meet some people and can start to build a life of my own out here.

I really miss my girls. I'm not exactly homesick, but I miss being able to chat it up over coffee or hit the mall in the afternoon with one of my girls. I guess I miss being girly... talking about boys, getting a mani/pedi, shopping, etc.

Well, I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Aww I'm sorry things haven't worked out so far. Good luck finding a job, I'm from the SF bay area originally and just went back visiting and boy is it hard to find a job! Maybe you could go look for a job on campus? Normally they try to keep those jobs open to students as far as I know.
