Really, I am. It has been a busy past couple months since moving to California. It stills strikes me as incomprehensible that I live, my dorm room, my mailing address, is California. It's also hard to believe I'm almost half-way through my season out here. I had my mid-season audit from my supervisor on Sat (and did quite well, I might add).
I know I've said this before, but the only internet I get is during my lunch break, when I go to town, or when I pay for it by the hour. When I have access, my priority is applying for jobs. I do read your blogs, occasionally I'll leave a comment, or at least try to send an email saying I enjoy keeping up with you through blogs, but posting myself, it's hard. For some perspective, I applied for exactly 175 jobs in 2012. In the past week of 2013, I've applied for 15 jobs. It's a full time job applying for jobs.
However, in 2013, I have a goal, no matter what, to post at least twice a month. I also have a goal to go hiking at least three times a month so if nothing else, I can post pictures. Also, stay tuned for news of where Kate will be spending her summer season.
I realize this is rather scattered, and probably grammatically atrocious, but I'm paying by the hour right now.
For a quick recap of Dec. I wasn't able to go home for Christmas, the first time in 30 years. It was hard. It was different. My family, bless them, came to me. We spent Christmas Eve at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. What a blessing it is to have a wonderful family.
My love to all my dear readers! Please, please continue to post on your blogs and send emails; I do read them! It makes me feel more connected in this remote and very desolate place.
It's been crazy here too! But I always read your posts! And I love them! I wish I could sneak into your backpack and go on your adventures with you. You are amazing! Good luck job searching! I'll pray that you get the coolest, most amazing job there is! Excited about those 2 post a month. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your family could come to you! And wahoo! Disneyland. I love it. I hope my kids still want to go when they are pushing 30. Yeah, Christmas away from home (esp. the first time) is hard. But you got through it. Way to be on your posting goal. You can do it! Sending love out to CA for you!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you had ended up this season! :) And your family is totally awesome for coming to see you! I hope you get an amazing job for the summer! I love reading about all the exciting places you visit! It makes me want to go hiking!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're alive and that you survived your first Christmas away from home! :-) It's so awesome that your family got to come see you. Your family is so great! Good Luck with the job applications. I hope you get to spend your summer somewhere close to here! That would be so fun! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to have your family come to you! And that's awesome that you went to Disneyland! I'm glad to hear you're alive and doing well and enjoying your job.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate! Hope you get a snowstorm or two at the higher elevations so you can see how different Death Valley looks with snow. I remember camping with family that came to visit for Christmas and how we all froze as we didn't think Death Valley was supposed to get that cold! It won't be long, though, till beautiful flowers start peeking out from the dry ground.
