125 km north of the arctic cirlce


i saw kiruna! i saw the ice hotel and i rode (and 'steered') a dog sled. it was really really neat- definitely something i want to do again, especially with the insight that i gained by being there once. perhaps not for another couple years. school is back, and i'm not so enthused to say the least. from the start i was behind on everything, and the trip north didn't especially help me. i did manage to fight off a cold before it got hold of me, and i went out last night for the first time in a couple weeks.
i do have to say its been a little lonely since everyone went back to the states. i sort of miss having people here with a similar type of humor and personality- it makes it really hard when there isn't anyone that you can be wholeheatedly genuine with or share everything. oh well.
so i've started the job hunt. my goal is 2-3 applications a week until i get back form munich-- then i'll have to step it up to 4-5 a week. by the way- i'm going to munich. i'm super excited- i got train tickets that didn't break me, i'm staying with a friend, and i get to visit with fred for a bit while i'm there! plus i've always wanted to see the city, and i can- i can also spend my euros and bring back booze.
