Here I sit in my dad's office with super fast internet. Ahhhh, being back in Portland is great. The weather is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and I get to see my family. It doesn't get much better than that. In about an hour I'm heading over to Alicia's graduation party. I'm glad that it's happening while I'm here. I feel like I've missed out on a lot of stuff 'cause I've been far away. My family is coming over around 2 this afternoon. I'm really excited to see my sister, step-sister & grandparents; it's been too long.

Oh, good news on the job front. Ez found out about a job opening at his school in the computer lab/library as a teacher's aide. I meet all of the requirements & faxed over my resume. It opens up mid-August, so I'll be there right in time. I hope I get it. It would be nice to have a good full-time job at the same place as Ez.

Jeopardy! tryouts are tomorrow. Honestly, I'm not feeling too confident. I planned on beefing up on some basics (world capitals, vice presidents, chemistry. . .), but I just didn't get around to it. Whoops!! Oh well, if I don't make it on when I'm 22, I'll have plenty more chances when I'm older.

Well, I'm going to go & soak up some sunshine. It's suposed to be about 100 degrees here the next couple of days. And for those of you who don't know, that's REALLY hot for Portland. I suppose I'm preparing for Phoenix.

Hugs.
