It’s been a few days since I last updated, frankly, because I haven’t been doing much. I am in a bit of a holding pattern until I can find a job. I am scared of spending any more money on sightseeing in case I don’t find some employment right away. The catch-22 there is that once I find a job I won’t be doing very much sightseeing anyway. I have already decided that if I can I would like to hang around this wonderful country for at least a year. And after talking to a few other backpackers in the hostel, I am more and more convinced that there are a few more journeys in me after that. I would love to spend some time in Ireland, and also Greece and perhaps south-east Asia. I figure if I can save up enough money to cover my student loan payments while I am away, I can just work wherever I am to support myself. This is sort of long term goal stuff, as I certainly haven’t even seen a quarter of this country. The weather here is so pleasant that it’s hard to imagine that it’s probably snowing back home. I am not trying to rub it in, but I am getting a bit of a tan, which for me is a significant achievement.
My good friend Jill is popping by on Thursday (though I don't know if "popping by is the right term for travelling thousands of kilometers to the other side of the planet). It will be nice to have some company, I think. I have gotten to know quite a few people in the hostel I am in right now, but everyone is so transient that it is hard to develop anything more than passing aquaintences. I will also maybe have a drinking buddy, which is more socially acceptable than drinking alone (unless you are a hobo or a musician).
