Paul's job search finally paid off. He was formally hired today to do quality control for a local nutriceutical company. ("Nutriceutical" is a made up word that refers to vitamins and those wacky suppliments they sell at health food stores.) It's a bit of a drive (20 mins), but he can get there by bus.
I'm doing better settling into my routine and getting used to life here. It's a different place, but not necessarily a bad one. I've found a place with a worse newspaper than the Daily Universe. "66 Percent of Working during College" might be the best headline I've ever read. It's weird to see the letters to the editor about how the university president is a total sell-out and the joys of binge drinking and atheism instead of the usual outrageous complaints about allegedly offensive media and immodest backpacks.

Congratulations, Paul, and good work on settling into the routine, Jennifer. I still feel like I’m sinking under the waves--in fact, when it looked like I and Nick might get thrown in the clink for testing out my 35-70-105-140 mph theory about timing the lights on Bulldog Boulevard, my first thought was, “Well, at least I’ll have a good excuse to miss the conference next week (lol)—but I’m so pleased to hear about your successes. We’re still waiting for additional photos of your fabulous apartment, though.
Yay for employment that pays bills! :) Congratulations!
Did you know that the Daily Universe was actually awarded the distinction of one of the nation's best university newspapers? Wow. There must be mountains of crap out there. Mountains.
