Always Fresh, Always Tim Hortons

Greetings!!

I bring great news this week. I got a job at Tim Hortons for the time being! I have decided to think realistically and expect that I won't be hearing back from all the future job opportunities for awhile and even longer to attain a visa. So I am settling into a routine here in Stettler. I am hoping that I will be gone by the end of March or April, however I have no set deadline until I hear something from these places. I am just super excited to be working at my first real job with an employer that is unrelated to me. I will be doing the baking in the back and working full time. My friend Esther works there and she says that it is a great atmosphere to be working in. So I am pumped!

On the Florida note, I have been applying to tons of jobs every day this week. Things from a ride attendant at Six Flags amusement park, to a camp instructor at Busch Gardens, to an animal trainer at Sea World, to an eco-cruise guide in the Florida Keys. All the jobs I have applied to have something exciting to offer and the opportunity to be in the southern United States. Another idea that sort of popped up is an internship. Apparently since it is unpaid I can work at just on being a tourist in the US. I would need some money to pay for rent and food, but otherwise this idea is looking the best so far. I will be down there already and able to apply to Seaworld and other places in person.

The NFL playoffs aren't really pleasing this year. Baltimore beat Tennessee which is brutal because we hate Baltimore. Philly beat New York so that's good and Arizona beat Carolina, also really good. I am currently watching the San Diego vs. Pittsburg game and am really, really hoping that San Diego wins. If they do, it can still be a good Superbowl with San Diego against Arizona. However, if Pittsburg wins I will NOT watch the next game with them and Baltimore. I just won't care anymore. But who knows what will happen?

Being in Stettler has been good. I have had a ton of time to relax, go to the gym everyday, really take a liking to swimming lengths, and planning some things with friends. I miss Leia, Serena, and the ocean more than I ever thought possible, but I'll survive! Well that's about it for today. Later days!!!
