Dear Readers,
It's been a while. I mean, no kidding. The last post was...I don't even remember. So I'll start from the beginning, which would be after graduation.
After I rubbed the stars of graduation out of my eyes I finally had a chance to look around and realized I didn't have a clue. The months of May, June, and part of July were full of days agonizing over what I should do with my life. They were also full of comments by a particular parent to "get it together". So I began looking for a temporary job, just something to hold me over.
Cue: "Thank you for choosing Dunkin' Donuts, what can I get for you today?"
I had come to find myself dressed in a brown apron and matching visor at a local DD. The people I worked with were great, between doing the dishes and restocking donuts they gave me the courage to keep my chin up. Still, I would come home and stay up until 2, sometimes 3 AM checking the classifieds and craigslist, snagajob and careerbuilder, God only knows what else. The problem is that it's hard to search for something when you don't know what you're looking for.

A bunch of random applications later I received a phone call from a mountain resort out in Colorado. Crested Butte (not Crusty Butt as some people like to joke) is a small mountain town with a big ski center and I had just snagged the job as a ski instructor! The job didn't start until the end of November but I was thrilled to be moving out on my own...maybe a little too thrilled.
