Austin!

My fingers are being licked by my adorable dog which makes it hard to type. I love Austin.

This is day THREE and I'm headed to my third interview. The first two interviews went well but I wouldn't be very happy doing either of the jobs. Everyone keeps remarking how terrible the job market is here now so I'm happy to go to the follow-up interviews. I've also passed out a few resumes to restaurants/bars etc. I need a job. :)

But other than that, this is such a great town. My neighbourhood (Travis Heights, 78704) is really off-the-wall. The houses are all funny colours and there are lots of "Peace Now" and "Obama" signs all over the place. My house is very cute and I like my room a lot. I have two housemates (Keith and Adrienne) who I have seen very little of but they both seem really nice. Not having a car hasn't proven to be too difficult and I like the buses just fine. Its been slightly chilly but so sunny that walking has been really pleasant. I've gone dancing twice so far (both times to LIVE BANDS!) and think I have dancing the next three nights as well. Pretty fun stuff! The people I know down here have been super welcoming and kind in terms of picking me up, showing me around, and telling me whats going on. But even strangers are really friendly. We'll see how long it all lasts!
