Book 'em Dano*

{Okay, and seriously, this has got to be the most adorable image i've encountered regarding my future (temporary) place of residence!}

That's right, after much scouring and scheming, and a call to "Habib" by my trusty travel agent, I snagged a $615 flight à Paris. And, I paid for it. Done and done. I spoke to my mom, and I really like that she said something to the effect of  "Hey, if you don't earn enough money, since you've bought the flight, I guess you can just hang out in Paris." Exactement!

So now, the job is . . . well . . . to get a job. Everyone has been so kind, giving me tips and words of encouragement. The worst part about it, is not the not earning money (which is pretty bad) nor the slight angst of disappointment, but I have so much free time. Dumb huh? Let's just say I haven't been quite as productive with my spare time as I could be, but I'm determined for that to change!

A few interviews.

*Yes, that absolutely was a "hawaii five-o" reference.
