- We don't have the internet at home so I found the local library to access it from. Unfortunately, without a library card (which I can only get with two forms if ID, one of which has to have my Logan address on it) it costs $1 to get onto the internet. That's not a big deal, but the one hour time limit seriously limits what I do to only what must be accomplished.
- What must be accomplished is me getting a job. If anyone can help that'd be great. (I'm thinking of calling my sister's friend Sarah tomorrow for help.) I just graduated magna cum laude from Oregon State University with a degree in Food Science and a minor in Chemistry. I feel that I am a very employable person, but I have no access to job openings in my field in this community so I feel sort of at a loss. At this point it might just be nice to get a job at a fabric store or maybe a bookstore or something.
- Our apartment here is GREAT! It's half again as big as our space in Corvallis and it has.....A DISHWASHER!!! Yes, it is the joy of my life right now. The only sad part is that we will be forced to move out at the end of August.
- Last night I found out bad news about my uncle, who has had brain tumors for as long as I can remember. Or maybe its just one tumor that's coming back, I don't really know. Anyway, with all the stress of needing to find a job and a place to live in a couple months and now this last night pretty much sucked.
- This morning was a different story. I got up and did my hair pretty and put on a nice outfit and decided today I was going to find something about jobs in this area. That's my goal for the day anyway.

Checking In
Well, we're in Logan. It's really pretty here in this valley and I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy myself this year. Already we have driven to Yellowstone for a day (4th of July) with my brother and sister-in-law and two of their kids. We've also already watched two full fireworks displays. Here's what's going on:

Yay for Utah! I mean, Yay for Maggie in Utah! I hope I get to see you soon!
I called you yesterday because I wanted to see how the transition was going, but I wasn't sure if it was your new phone number, even though the voicemail was you. Anyway, I hope you have good luck with finding a good job. If I was in need of a food scientist I would totally hire you. Love you!
Do they have coffee shops in Logan? Sometimes those are hot zones so if your laptop has the right set-up you can access the internet. If not, maybe a hotel has a business center that doesn't require a card key to get into it and you could casually walk in like you were supposed to be there and use their internet. Just some thoughts on ways to access the internet without having to pay $300 for a library card?! Did I read that right?
Hope you had a great time in Yellowstone. Are you coming to Montana with Nate, Jenny and their family? Talk with you soon. Miss you guys.
I'll admit I don't know much about your field of study - but it seems a job at a bakery, or even Williams Sonoma would at least keep you on track - more so than a bookstore or fabric store would.
Of course, discounts at a fabric store or book store may outweigh that. just my .02!
think of all the books you could buy with $300
