mary is excited!

Mary is very excited... no she doesn't get to go to NYC anymore and go mountainbiking next week, and go see shows ... but with patience that will happen soon.

Ok, no more 3rd person :-)

I was majorly stressing about not having enough money for my travelling, and not being able to enjoy my tripping around the states. I had some free accomodation with friends, but it still costs money to travel etc, and I've come out of camp worse off than I thought I would moneywise.

THEN ... a job opportunity came up ...
on sunday I leave camp, there's one day left at the moment, and I'll be leaving at 730am the next morning. Anyway, I'm leaving to go to Boston where I'll meet my new boss. I'm working for the next 3-4 weeks selling posters at universities. Now I know it doesn't sound too exciting but picture this:
A poster store set up at the main american colleges, hanging out on campus all day. Getting paid to sell people stuff they actually want. And what do i get in return ...?
Well we get paired up for work, staying 1-5 days at each uni depending on the size of it. And for working each day selling posters we get:
a car or van
fuel card
free hotel accomodation for the 2 of us
(basically we just pay for our food and shopping)
and we get $400 a week plus commission! Most people make $550-800 a week.

So... now I can see a few states and universities, and afford to enjoy the other 4 weeks of my travels.
God is awesome! I was stressing out big time, couldn't sleep, etc, then I prayed about it the other night because I couldn't handle it ... the next evening this job came up, and the guy hired me without even meeting me! God doesn't waste any time thats for sure. I applied yesterday, talked to him on the phone today (friday), and we start driving for our first destination on sunday nite when I get to boston. Not sure where to yet ... apparently its either Vermont, Conneticut, New Hampshire or West Massechusets. That's for the first 5 days, then who knows! :-)
