New Job!

Hey Girls!

How are ya doin? Laura I hope your school is okay. Ms. Wu I am so proud of you for moving out to NY on your own! That takes a lot of courage. I hope your having fun exploring the different neighborhoods. I'm sure there are so many exciting job opportunities over there as well. After all it IS New York!

Just wanted to let you know I got a job that I am pretty happy with! The whole process was a bit emotional. This is because I found a job at this great restaurant called the Med then decided to jump ship after 2 days and was left again without a job and rent just a week around the corner! At first everyone wanted to hire me and then when I started the job search again it seemed like every resteraunt in Boulder no longer needed more servers!

neway, I finally found a great job at a family restaurant in Boulder called Lucile's. It's the cutest thing you have ever seen. It has won best breakfast in Boulder for the past 25 years. I personally love it b/c it's a locals hot spot so it really gives me a feel for Boulder and its people. The manager and staff are really friendly. I will be working there 4 mornings a week from 7am-3:30pm. Yup, I shall be gettin up before the sun. But then again not workin 3 days a week so I get some awesome play time in on my days off!! I'm hoping to have fun with my roomies, raft, try to snowboard, hike, eat at yummy restaurants, read, meditate, spin, volunteer...you know do fun stuff on those free days. one thing me and my roomates have been brainstorming is to get together a street performance in downtown boulder on Pearl which is the main street. My roomate is going to do backflips while I juggle a soccer ball. We are going to have a limbo and hulla hoop contest with this other weird game. Its gonna be awesome!

You guys have got to see downtown boulder on a friday night. It is almost eerie how much it resembles pleasantville or a weird utopia community complete with amazing musicians (pianists, violinists, celtic musicians, guitar players), lots of fun street performers, flowers everywhere, pretty people of all ages dancing/singing/smiling/walking about, every kind of cute restaurant you could imagine where everything is organic and healthy, no cars are allowed on the street, beautiful cafe's...

I have definitely realized I need to get out of the restaurant business. Thus, I've been looking at Clinical Psych Phd programs in Colorado. Also, I'm hoping to join a gym and start learning how to become a spin and yoga/meditation instructor and personal trainer. I may also apply for a teach for america high school english teaching position in Denver we'll see. Or I could also end up joining a bhuddhist work study program at the Nyigma institute in Sanoma. So many options!!

I'm always thinking of you guys, miss you, and hope your adventures are treatn ya well :)

I mean to comment a long time ago but your adventures sound fantastic! I'm glad you got a job at a nice restaurant (the other one was probably overrated anyway). You make Boulder sound so dreamy... I'll try to call you this week
