I have a bunch to catch up on, I've been slacking at this whole thing. Job hunting sucks and it has been biting me in the butt so hard. I've applied for 10-15 jobs every week since I've moved and I had 2 interviews last week. They both said they'd get back to me by Friday, one got back to me and told me no, the other one hasn't even had the decency to call yet. I still sent my normal "thank you" card that I send after each interview, but I just want a job!!! I hate people buying stuff for me, it's nice and all, but I don't like to be a mooch. I won't ask people for things unless I REALLY need them. Something I have learned is that as much as I hate asking for help, I need to allow people to help me when offered. So from here on out, if people offer me things, they'd better mean it. I'm tired of worrying that people are only offering to be nice but don't really want to help. If you offer me something and I take it, don't resent me for it later or ask me to pay you back unless the condition of the help is if I pay you back. I don't like racking up tabs, but sometimes a girl's gotta eat.
Aside from that...This weekend I spent staying at Thetford Lodge for a letterboxing event. (if you want information on letterboxing, go to atlasquest.com) I love letterboxing and meeting people that letterbox. We did some letterboxing in Salem on the way to Lyons, then we did night boxing in John Neal Memorial Park. I'd never done night boxing before and it was amazing. We found all the boxes and I got first finder on two of them. The bullfrogs were seriously out that night. They played music for us the whole night as we hiked around the park. WE got to see one of them and he was huge, I swear I could compare him to a gallon jug! =]
Saturday we went to Canyon Creek, Bear Creek, North Fork Nature Park, and back to John Neal. It rained on us pretty much all day, but we took a break halfway through for a lunch and hot chocolate break back at the lodge. (hot chocolate with marshmallows is amazing) On our second trip out we also stopped for hot chocolate with whipped cream =] The hikes were beautiful. at Bear Creek there were a lot of uphill and downhill slopes. I avoided a couple for safety on my own part, but it was amazingly beautiful. North Fork Nature Park was also beautiful. I got a little scared as the trail got close to the edge and it was basically roots holding us up, but it was worth the scare. We found all the event boxes and bonus boxes, and it was probably the best event I'd been to aside from the Powell's event. (even with the rain)
Today we tried to find more boxes in salem, but were unsuccessful...maybe in the summer we will go back. I have fun boxing with KuKu and QBF and I can't wait for the event next weekend.
Back to job stuffs.....the Blarg! is related to my coming home and applying for 5 jobs. I REALLY want a job. Oh and I want to murder some children in my apartment complex, but that's besides the point.
studying up on personal travellers so I can be ready for next weekend =]
