It's been 3 weeks here in Seattle, still jobless. Currently praying for a position at Nordstrom, in their web fulfillment department. Seriously CROSSING MY FINGERS on this one!!! I also recently discovered the public library which is within walking distance. Super stoked because I left home not finishing Harry Potter. Seriously Order of the Phoenix was the worst in the series, I could not get past that book. So I skipped ahead and am currently in the middle of Half-Blood Prince (which Priya will probably shake her head at, she hates when I skip!). Anybody have any good book suggestions? Don't know what I'll read next after I get through Deathly Hallows.
Decided to give you a tour of my small room, I swear it's like half the size of my old room in the Citron house. I've finally graduated from a twin size bed to full.... whoa whoa talk about growing up. I decided to stick with the NYC theme I had from before, found a great map of the city at iKea, and my dad mailed over my Breakfast at Tiffany's poster. Actually my family has been great with mailing over some stuff from home that makes my room 10 times more homely. Blankets, my clock radio, a few of my favorite stuffed animals, my curtains from the Citron house, trinkets, etc. My bookshelf has a mini Star Wars theme, with some of my favorite toys on display (Obi-Wan nesting dolls, R2-D2 action figure, my toys of Goofy and Stitch as Chewy and Yoda), accented with framed pictures of family and friends. My laptop takes center stage, as it also serves as my "TV" so I can watch movies in bed. Sadly I've been downgraded to 1 small closet, which is only half full as most of my clothes are still back home. I found this great collage picture holder from Urban Outfitters for only $5! I filled it with photos of back home-beaches, surf, turtles, and friends. Even though my room is pretty small, like Tim Gunn says I made it work!

Waikiki Aquarium, earlier this year.
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." -Randy Pausch
Keeping myself busy busy busy. Actually more like keeping my mind busy, because really I was already a busy little bee before all this. Here's a list of what I've got planned so far...

-I started re-reading "The Last Lecture," by Randy Pausch, who died of pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. A very inspirational book. If you haven't already watched his lecture, definitely youtube it. Priya suggested I start reading, but I'm really not one of those get engrossed in a storyline kind of readers. Saw this on Wayne's floor and thought I could use a book like this.

-The Workout Plan: running, running my ass off.

-Malia doesn't know it but this year I'm sending out Citron Kidz Christmas Cards. I'm totally making this happen! Think Hello Kitty, 4 lovely ladies, and Christmas.

-Cleaning my room. Time for a room facelift! Looks like shopping trips to Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond are in my future.

-ATV field trip. Ala, Chaz, and I have been talking about this for sometime now. Let's make it happen soon!

-SF for a few days at the end of month! My third favorite city to visit (behind Tokyo and NYC).

where do you get your news?

daily newspapers? tv? internet?

Living in a time where everything is available on the internet, in 5 years do you think print newspapers will be obsolete?

I personally don't think so, you don't get the same validity from the internet over what you get in the newspaper.
