well let me start off by saying that i HATE job searching! it sucks. i am no good at talking about myself and trying to look interested on the spot. i really just want some money.

so today was spent taking our resumes all over our little town trying to convince someone that we would be employees worth having. most people said we are about 6 weeks early, that they wont be hiring till sept for the summer rush (so hard to remember). but others, in the nicest way possible because everyone is nice here, said no. i applyed everywhere from a cafe, sports journalist, dr.s office, and curves to a retail store, ice cream place and chocolate shop (i am secretly hoping that one of the last ones pulls through). justin went for a local legal office, sunglasses shops and i think a sushi place. the only one that we have any hope for is the cafe though. it is alot like the resturant i worked at back home, and its only 2 blocks away from our house. it would be nice to have work so close.

we also ventured into the ikea in town. it happened to be right next to the airport with a direct bus to our little town. can you say perfect!! justin had never been, so it was quite the fun. we had contests going to see who could find the cheapest product of what we were looking for. ie. silverware (16 piece set for $4.50), bath mat ($3.50) and the clentcher was a laundry basket ($2.00). considering we are probably going to leave most of this stuff here when we are done, it was nice to know that it doesnt add up to much. we did buy a frying pan from a thrift store that we are going to try and smuggle back into the US. its amazing!
