La Jolla

I went to an area between Carlsbad and San Diego today called La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya). It is kinda touristy, but really cute. It reminded me of Naples, Florida. There are cute shops inland and a really pretty beach. There were different areas along the beach for surfers, swimmers, and kayakers. Here are some pics. Click on them if you want to see them larger.

I Got A Job!

I got a job offer at a local design firm today and I accepted! I start Monday. I am excited, but kinda sad my beach weekdays are coming to an end. At least I will still have beach weekends! Yay!! My next adventure is finding another place to live. My current place is awesome, but it's only available til mid October. I figure I should look for a new place for October 1st because it's harder to find a new place for that starts mid-month.

Beach Day

I finally went to the beach today and got to take some pictures. I bailed on going out for the Steeler game last night. It was the only night game and was shown on NBC, so I was able to watch it at home. Here are some pics from the beach in Carlsbad. It looks overcast in some pics but it really wasn't. There was some fog over the ocean though. If you click on each pic you can see it in it's larger original size.












Quit looking at me, Sea Squirrels! If you click on this one, there is a squirrel camouflaged in the rocks. There were a bunch of squirrels along the beach. It was bizarre.

More of My Neighborhood

Here are some more pics of my neighborhood. These pics were all taken within a short walking distance. I hope to have time to go to the beach this weekend. I am excited to announce that I found a Steeler bar in San Diego so hopefully I can catch the game this Sunday.

My Neighborhood

I've been keeping busy sending out resumes and tweaking my portfolio. I finally took some time today to take some pictures of my neighborhood. Yay!

Job Fair

I went to the job fair today that I had had been preparing for all week. It went well, but there were no slam dunks, just introductions and advice. That's about what I had expected, but it was a good intro for what I should be focusing on while I job hunt out here. I have plenty more places to apply to.

Special thanks to my pre-job fair peptalkers: Judy, Dave, Carsen, Yuki, Hilly, Mom and Dad!

I forgot my camera, but i managed to take some blurry shots of downtown with my cell phone. It was another perfect weather day. Downtown San Diego is really cool.

I promise to take more pictures and post more this weekend!
