Back in Tucson - Project: Find a Job

Greetings after a month long respite from writing. I would say that I didn't write while I was in New York and Buffalo because I was too busy but that would be an outright lie. I was lazy. However, in order to feel a sense of completion heres a recap:

New York

I went to some awesome Baghavad Gitta teachings while in New York which took up most of my nights. I helped with a bake sale that will get me to India in April ;-) I got to see the Fighter Pilot and the Monk business talks. Al of those things were great AND I got to see some of the coolest people in the whole wide world. Fun activities included...

making cookie pie.

eating smores.

and having a fire outside in very cold temperatures.

Buffalo

Most of Buffalo was spending time with my family which is probably the best thing to do. Especially with the coolest nephew on the planet. Unfotunately my Buffalo photos are not able to be shown at this time due to loosing my little hook up my camera to my computer thing. I thought in Buffalo when I didn't have it that it was in the car in Arizona. Now I am in Arizona and it is definitely not in the car. But if I did have my hook up my camera to my computer thingy you would see awesome pictures of Thanksgiving, shopping on Black Friday, a homemade Spiderman cake, and a 3 year old's birthday party. Ok, maybe those things aren't that interesting anyway... I thought they were anyway.

Now I'm back in Arizona and happy to be here. Of course, one of the things I was looking forward to getting back to was the sun and there was no sun to be found today. Thats ok though, at least there aren't freezing temperatures. I believe Buffalo is now covered under a blanket of snow so I'll be thankful for my warm-ish dreary day in Arizona. I did go to a yoga class today at a new place. It was really good if your definition of good is getting your butt kicked by trying to do things that you've never tried to do before and feeling like a pretzle.

Project Find a Job

Tomorrow starts Project Find a Job. This project is me... trying to find a job. I will stick to my previous plan of trying to work in a coffee shop. If in a few weeks (ew, thats a long time) I haven't found anything I suppose I'll have to try other places and/or wander around the streets of Tucson crying and begging people for a job, any job. My goal for tomorrow is to go to at least 4 places to job-seek.

Other than working on Project Find a Job I'll be meditating and doing yoga every day. I'll also be catching up on some meditation classes that I need to do to be able to take a class during term in February. And I'll be getting some classes with my teachers Rebecca and Grant. So, this will be a busy time - and I don't even have the job yet.

Stay tuned...
