The summer is coming to an end along with another chapter of my life. I've spent the past 5 years here in Provo getting my degree and, to be honest, have gotten used to the way things have been. All of that is about to change.
While I haven't yet found a full-time "dream job", I have secured a place of living for the next while. That should give me a little more time to find employment. It is a house here in Provo being rented by a friend (and two other guys) from the ward last year.
My on campus employment in the Chemistry department will only last for two more weeks. So I'm sort of scrambling to find something for work soon. It's hard not to become discouraged with the economy the way it is (and the fact that I'll have to start paying back student loans pretty soon). Nevertheless, I am quite optimistic about the next couple of months and the things that can be accomplished. I'm a single, broke college grad with my entire life ahead of me. The current soundtrack for my life is summed up in the song "Just Wait" by my recent favorite, The Reign of Kindo. These lyrics especially:
One more day and it's all the same.
Time is a poison and it's coursing through my veins.
Got somewhere to be and I'll be darned if i know when.
The bank is broke and my well is dry.
There's something wrong here that refuses to be set right.
I keep pushing forward but the scenery won't change.
All the days that I live, the best is yet to come if I just wait for it.
But time will find a way to run your patience thin.
Praying for some promise that this life can't make,
with my youngest years at stake.

Here's my last post of the Christmas season, but it's a very important one
since we saw so many great folks over the holidays!
