Kickin it in Beaverton

I have officially lived in Beaverton, Oregon for 10 days, but it feels like it has been a lot longer. My girlfriend, Terra, and I have been trying to make our little apartment feel more like a home. This has included trips to IKEA (yes, multiple trips) and other home stores in the area. Prior to moving to Beaverton my only connection to the city were through other members of my fraternity, Sigma Chi. These kids had their own language, full of video game lingo and, quite frankly, could get quite annoying. But now I realize just how awesome this town really is. There are some great restaurants and I just recently discovered the nearby countryside. Too beautiful. 

So I have a little bit of time off until I begin my internship at the Oregon Zoo (no, I am not going to be shoveling poop) and I needed money. I did something I never thought I would do, I joined a Temp Agency. Now in order not to hurt my pride too much I signed on to do work at a distribution center, lots of heavy lifting, and I am only doing it until I go on vacation on the 31st. But hey, I get paid $10/hour it could be worth it
