Well I've come to the end of summer now and the main chunk of lifeguarding is over. I will still be working as a lifeguard a couple days per week. I'm currently looking for a full time job which is proving difficult as the economy kind of sucks. So I guess you could say that I'm in flux. I don't really have an adult identity just yet. I'm still living with my parents and still sleeping in a twin bed. I hope that soon I can start doing something that will help me establish myself as a person living in this city. I'm trying to maintain the contacts I've developed over the past three summers at my pool, and hopefully that helps me get my feet on the ground. More on that at another time.
I hope that a job will help me find a group of people that will become my friends. I hope that I can find a couple of social activities that will help me feel a sense of community in a city I've called my home from birth. Death Cab For Cutie says, "When you feel like a tourist in the city you were born in, it's time to go." While I'm not looking to leave, I am looking to say hello as an adult, and to fully experience things that I've never been able to do before. Fingers crossed I guess...
