The begining of my new adventure...

It is an attention grabbing title to be sure but beware the weak of heart. This story involves a tale of a young man without money and little work to support himself.

Naturally I am talking about myself. For the summer I decided to stay up in Cedar Falls and take a few summer courses, make sure I graduate on time. That and the fact that rent for the house started this summer and I thought it prudent to live in a place that I was paying for.

Move in day was luckily a day early, the Friday after school got out. Naturally it was a fairly long and busy day but it was also fun as well. It was great to finally see the house that me and my housemates had talked about take shape as we moved our stuff in.

Two of the housemates hung around for another week, to get things settled in and just chill. Unfortunately I had to start class right away, Ethics in Communication, which is actually turning out to be a good class. Good here means that I'm getting all A's, not exactly sure if I'm learning much though.

I woke up early to go pay rent this morning for the month of June. While I was sitting there drinking my coffee I realized that I have not slept in past 9am since the end of school. So I went to the bank and payed for our house next month, which means that my bank account that looked full of money is now pretty much empty.

I have been applying everywhere, I even sunk down to applying for Wal Mart yesterday. I have a little under 20 hours every week at the library but at minimum wage it is hard to save up anything from that. There is a potential job at a museum but the person hiring keeps saying she has to get clearance to hire me and that keeps getting pushed back.

I am not sure about my whole summer but I do know I will be up here for at least 4 more weeks. I will be taking a course in June, European history Since WWI, so I will try to hold out til that is over. Unfortunately there are 4 books for a 4 week course so I'm bracing for lots of reading.

Supplies are low, money is gone, and communication with the world outside of CF is limited. Yet for some reason I find myself enjoying it for the most part.
