Today was productive. Brent had the day off... he starts doing real doctor stuff tomorrow and I suppose he needs to rest up before he starts potentially killing people. We really did have a nice little Thursday. Brent got Oregon plates and license, we shopped around for a new computer, went to the bank and we went food shopping. We had our first home cooked meal together in like a month. We made taco salad in case you're interested and/or hungry.
On another note, we ran into some teachers dining at the Baja Fresh for lunch (delicious burritos). We struck up conversation with them because one of said teachers had a Wisconsin T-shirt on... thank goodness for "America's Dailyland." Brent is from this great state of cheap beer/women/cheese in case you didn't know. The two teachers informed me that teaching jobs are awfully hard to come by (awesome), even for a math/science teacher. Since I haven't started my licensure paperwork, I am even more screwed. Go me. Tomorrow is dedicated to resume updating and job searching. Ugh, by the way, I was thinking if all else fails, I'd enter the fullfilling barista career since there are about 10,000 coffee shops per square mile in Portland. Apparently those are highly coveted jobs and you'd having better luck running for president. I still love Portland though... even if I may have to spend my nights on the street for income (just kidding, Mom, Brent told me I'd have better luck during the days).
Tomorrow's plan:
1) Update resume/search for jobs
2) Find ways to meet friends
3) Attend local rummage sale to look for coffee table
4) Sign up for a local run (which I may or may not get Brent to run)
Ok, so I haven't evenopened my blog from last summer all year! Maybe I will get into it more later on! Maybe you can get onboard as a para somewhere while you sort out liscensure issues. Letme know if you want a letter of ref, I never did get that done by the time we left!
