Snowball Effect

So yesterday I got a call asking me to start working today! Finally! So I was pretty stoked about that- had to run out and buy snow boots real quick! Just as I was putting my laundry away and getting ready to settle in to Conspiracy Theory and go to bed early, Anna (whose family's house I went to for Thanksgiving- she's been great showing me around town here) called and asked if I wanted to go on a night hike. So I bounced right back up from my bed and got redressed and we ended up going on a 4 hour hike in the pitch black. It was awesome, and would only have been better with some moonlight. Needless to say once I got back home I was too amped up to fall asleep and didn't until after 3! So that was not pleasant. Even after I fell asleep, I didn't sleep well and then had to get up at 6:30 to go to work! For every choice there are consequences! It was worth it!

So today was my first day of work. The California Main Lodge is still not open yet, so I am working with the ski school over at the Gondola location, which is about a 20-25 minute walk from home (depending on if I'm wearing ski pants and snow boots or not!). For now it is still alot of prep work. Today I did everything from moving tables around and organizing ski poles to running a lift and painting! Fortunately that fits my 'jack of all trades' side. I'll be getting five days a week starting Monday and then once the Cal lodge opens I will just slide over there.

Now, that's alot to process in 24 hours, but there's more. I know, it boggles the mind! Of course when I got off work, I decided that I would lay down for an hour and nap rather than be a productive member of society. So I'm laying down for, no exaggeration, three minutes and someone walks into my apartment! So yeah, on top of all the other excitement after nearly two weeks of being by myself with nothing to do, I get a roommate today! We only talked briefly so I don't know much about her, but she seems nice enough, so we shall see how this works! I must be more mature than when I was in college and hated every roommate I ever had! 

Right?!? At least this time I knew what I was getting into, so I'm sure it will work out just fine. But maybe pray about it for me anyway! 

So the snowball is rolling now, and will be picking up speed as I get into my first week of work and having a roommate. So far, so good!
