i am writing now from my dear friend rebecca's pad in beautiful victoria, b.c.
things continue to be really awesome.
hmmm what news?
sue and i drove up to tofino on sunday. it was quite nice and i hope to go again and get some surfing in. sue thinks she can get her kids to take me along for the ride when they go next, which is pretty rad.
monday i took the train to victoria. it's an adorable train ride - just one car, just one track. it goes up the island in the morning and back down each afternoon. we saw ocean and mountains and lush forests. we went on some tiny bridges over vast valleys, and on one we stopped for a few minutes right it the middle. it was beautiful and kind of terrifying. all you could see is the tops of trees hundreds of feet below.
today i did something pretty exciting - i applied for a job at uvic! the job i applied for is in the coop program office, which is pretty rad because coop is a big deal in these parts. also it's only part time which is super rad because i could probably cover expenses and have lots of free time for other assorted projects. there's a few other job listings at the university that i will apply for over the next week. i'm pretty sure that this is a solid plan because i'm pretty sure working at a university is basically my dream job. anyways we'll see what happens. i've been vaguely browsing craigslist for places to live and the like. there's a hostel downtown where i could get a room for a month for $345. pretty solid temporary solution, in all likelihood. but for now i will continue to bum out on rebecca's sweet futon and be a charming and helpful house guest for as long as she'll have me (actually it may come down to how long her upstairs landlord will have me - she's a bit bonkers and makes up crazy rules about no overnight guests for more than 14 cumulative days. she says it's the law but i can't find any reference to it anywhere).
yep, so, that's my life. we're going camping this weekend somewhere awesome that has yet to be determined and it's going to be so awesome.
words of the day:
solid, rad & awesome
peace, love and radical awesomeness
