The trip up here didn't take long. Just over two hours. Oh, but how I hate those FIPs**! I swear all of them have lead foots as they were on my ass all the way through I-94. I also made sure to keep an eye out for all the beater trucks in case this was they day Chad Fox came through the state. Probably not, now that it sounds like he is stuck in Iowa.
My first stop was to get some money and some lunch. I was hungry for some cafe food. Hey now! Cafe food here is good! Well... most of the time. It may have been expensive to get a meal ticket ($6.75) but it was well worth it. I make it well worth it. Cajun chicken, beef and turkey wrap, chowder, salad, cherry cheesecake, and ice tea. Yum! Not to mention I got to see my friend Brian. He got the internship to D.C. I'm glad he got into the program. He doesn't know where he will end up with yet, but he's looking at some house committee or some think tanks. I'll admit, I'm jealous but he's a cool guy and it still makes me feel good that he's doing so well. I spotted Mario who told me of some former worker that after 4 years still hasn't found a job and had worked for Wal-Mart. (I think he got me and this other dude mixed up.) Thanks Mar, you know how to make me feel better.
So now, I am about to go back to looking for some job posting and some academic possibilities. I may just go deeper into debt and come out with my second B.A. Let's hope that I'll get a job before I go down that road though. Well, I'm off to Baker soon. After that, I am going to see my good friend Sara who is also in town. She's up here to help take care of her niece, Eva. I thought that I would drop by and give her some company.
It's good to be back!!
