I'm just guessing here...
But I think that this is what Ddawn means when she says to "Be awesome instead."
So in other news-
Emme and I talked about me possibly joining Americorps when we were setting up the travel arrangements. My intention was to steal her job in New Mexico. however....I've been found by one that I like more, tells me how much I'm being paid, and is more along my strengths and experiences...the Cesar E. Chavez Service Clubs. I was hoping they had a position in Eureka open, but those are filled. I thought the next most likely choice would be Marin (seeing as how it's north of the bay area, and in a generally not crowded area). The Marin Journal has apartment prices listed in the thousands. I mean, yeah, sure I know it happens...but wow. The total list of locations is: Riverside, Hemet, Bakersfield, Pacoima, Modesto, Marin, and Palo Alto. My next choice would be Palo Alto, then Bakersfield (easy drive), and Modesto. I'm still researching their prices.
