I just talked to my new employers on the phone and they want to send me to campaign in Denver instead, because Colorado is a crucial swing state and they want to open another new office there between now and the election.

I agreed, because

a) I'd rather be at the beginning of a new project and have a hand in its opening

b) it's closer to California and I know more people in Colorado

c) OMG the Democratic National Convention

d) since I'm only guaranteed employment until the election, a project like this sets me up better to ask for a permanent position

Anyway, so, now, I'm not moving to Chicago. I'm a bit sad, but also excited for Denver too. I can't believe I'm going back* though! So bizarre. Even if it's only for three months.

Who lives in Denver these days?

*I was in and out of Denver while doing AmeriCorps*NCCC last year. I left in November 2007, ten months ago. I should be pulled into the city nine or ten days from now. I'll be leaving in seven.

I have to write a 4-6 page single-spaced policy paper describing a policy recommendation for how the U.S. might "responsibly pull out of Iraq."

Um, yeah.

That's really the $64,000 question, isn't it?

I can't believe I'll be graduating in two and a half weeks. I'm looking for jobs in San Diego right now, because Irvine is a drag for anyone single and under 30, and I'd rather stab my eye out with a kunai-shaped spork than live in Los Angeles for anything other than future schooling. Moving to Southern California two years ago has been both a positive and negative experience, but so far I'm not enthused with anything the LA/OrangeCounty community has to offer, and the whole place often depresses me. San Diego is more of a relaxed place, and also my brother lives there, so I won't be totally alone.

Now I just need to pass my last classes and find a job. Yeesh. Job-hunting SUCKS.
