“If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make it come true?” -Oscar Hammerstein

It's been awhile. Whoops. And this girl was trying to be more diligent about keeping up with this. There's really no excuse. I've just been living the dream. Ish.

I started at Vail Resorts last week and I've only been in the office 5 days. And let me tell you.. I'm in love. This job is, as I've thought from the beginning, perfect for me. I get to work with great people, I help not only assist the people in our resort communities, but also the environment around them all while working for an awesome, awesome, AWESOME company. I mean, let's be honest, a company that has the makings for any Starbucks drink you could imagine in the employee lounge can't be all that bad, right?

I also moved into my temporary home, FINALLY! My roommate is super nice and the condo is great and in a perfect location. Unfortunately my sublease only goes until June 30th so I'll need to continue my housing hunt, but this will definitely do for now. Eventually I'll try and get a video tour posted on here. But let's be honest, it could be months before I get around to that.

I've also nailed down a part time serving job too. It involves one of my favorite restaurants that happens to serve a lot of beer. Needless to say, I'll be in heaven. Well, as close as I can come to it while working in a freaking restaurant again. Words can't express how much I'm not looking forward to the mundane rolling of silverware again. It is THEE worst side work ever. Except for that time I had to clean each individual grate of the salad cooler. If you're ever feeling bad about your job or thinking about dropping out of school, do a couple night's worth of side work for a server. You'll be bound and determined to make your situation work.

So everything is going well as can be expected. Money is a little (lot) tight right now. Being unemployed for nearly 2 months and moving across the country will do that to you. Hopefully I'll be back in my feet in a month or two and I can feel a little more adventurous. And finally get some snow pants so I can abuse my season pass for what little of it is still left. Yep, just livin the dream. At least my version of it.
