PDX > LAS > SFO


I'm currently sitting in PDX airport, on my way to San Francisco.
Tomorrow I have a interview @ the OH for SkyWest.
I'm crazy nervous and excited.
Everyone cross their fingers!

Take Offs & Landings

Winter is upon me here, and let me just say I am not prepared.
I've learned over the years that there is no such thing as bad weather.
--Only bad wardrobe. And right now I am suffering from bad wardrobe.

I remember the day I had to pack all my shorts into a box and put them under my bed to make room in my dresser for more winter-y things. What a sad day, to come to terms with the fact that I do in-fact now live where that's a practical thing to do. Boo. haha

It's not a particualry wonderful time of year to have a shattered driver-side window, I talked to my insurance company about it, and I have a $500 deductible. (LAME) and would have to pay $174 to have it replaced. I talked to a girl at work, her father repairs car windows/windshields for a living. He said he'd do it for me for the price of the glass...$55. Thank goodness, this seems like a way better option for me right now.

I talked to Ethan about my moving. It went okay. I haven't quite figured out how this is all going to pan out in the upcoming month. It's a difficult time of year to move, with the holidays coming and the winter weather, and being swamped at work because of those two things.

A friend, Katie, and I have talked about moving downtown together.
I think it would be fun to submerge myself in an environment like that, I've never lived in a city-city before. The lights can be inspiring...

I'm currently trying my damnedest to crank out some homemade holiday gifts, but shipping them is the annoying part, as I'm broke as a joke. But, that's okay. I'm hoping to find a cheap tree in the next few days, I could use some holiday spirits--it's good for morale, dontcha think?

You'd just hate it I'm sure. haha

My car window got smashed last week, awesome.

I'm so, so, so, so freaking broke and terrified.

Jan 13th San Francisco for a flight attendant interview.
Thank the heavens for a Southwest air credit.
I'm so excited about this I could pop, being a flight attendant is one of my dreams. As cheesy as it may be, it is what it is. Let's face it anyways-I'm made for that job.

I'm reaching the point of exhaustion with my current apartment. It's difficult because I love my room mate, Ethan and the apartment itself is a awesome location and my stuff fits well here. But I'm starting to feel like I'd be happier on my own, and there is just bad juju here after my assault. It's tainted I guess you could say.
I have to get out of here if I want to stay in Portland.
I'm looking for cheap studios, as for the same amount of money as I pay now I could live alone and be happier. Much happier. I'm nervous to tell Ethan about my desire to go. I know it'll be disappointing but I have to do what I need to do for me.

Please donate to my cause by sending good vibes to the west coast for me. :)

I want to start classes in January but time is sneaking up on me so damn fast, ugh.

I feel like I have other things to update on, but I forgot already...

Check out the Flickr.

Oh, Portland is expecting flurries this weekend. HOLY CRAP.

Not a significant change, don't be worried.
First hair dying to take place is almost 10 months!
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
