Well things in Gainesville are truggin' along...I got a job at the Florida Museum of Natural History and that's been going ok.
It'd be going great if the job paid a little more, had benefits, and they were willing to give me 40 hours a week. But such is life. I do like the people and it's a nice institution to work for.
I don't think I'll be staying here past November anyway, which is when my lease ends....My bf found out he won't be going to school here and along with some other things falling through there's no reason to stay here.
I'm not loving Gainesville...I guess I became a loyal Orlandonian without knowing it! I did go on the Gainesville-Hawthorne bike trail a few days ago and that was quite fun. The hills were more challenging than I'm used to and I nearly wiped out on a sharp turn. But the weather was great, and that trail has some really scenic vistas along the way.
I miss having money...I'm in credit card debt from being out of work for 3 months and I'm looking forward to that $600 rebate the government has been promising...Even though I'm not quite sure it will stimulate growth like they say it will.
P.S. --If you're a fan of Simon Pegg (i.e. Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) then definitely watch Spaced! It's about two twentysomethings sharing an apartment basically trying to figure out what they're doing with their lives, and it's really funny and geek friendly! The entire series is on YouTube.
