time flies when you're unemployed

well. i've been out of college for 2 months now and i guess unemployed for a little over a month. the word "unemployed" sounds so awful and negative, but thankfully i have been enjoying it! since i've moved back to the great city of chattanooga, i've kept myself busy.
once i got into town, i signed up for dance classes and now dance 3 times a week. it is probably one of the best decisions i've made thus far... even though its just a 1.5-2 hr class 3 days a week, it has given me something to look forward to when i have had nothing to do. it's also really nice because after i graduated high school, chattanooga ballet moved to a new building with new studios. it works great for me because i still know people but its also still new to me. i do feel a bit old though, seeing as how some of the girls in my class are just now getting their driver's licenses. weird.
in addition to dancing, i also have a "summer internship" where i volunteer 2 days a week at a local non-profit organization. the organization- AVA- is really cool and i'm so happy that they need help! i actually volunteered there my senior year of high school and the organization has grown a lot since then which is neat to see. i'm helping with marketing and with their advertisement... i'm learning a lot and have met cool people too!
besides watching tv (way too much), i've gotten to hang out with people from high school. its cool that we pick up from where we left off and i love that we all have similar things we like to do- like run or craft- its a great reason to get together! i've started watching LOST too...i like it more than i thought i would...
i have also been enjoying time with my mom and dad. they are both keeping me busy with different things but its cool having time to help them or go out of town with them! my dad and i went rafting down the ocoee with my aunt, uncle and cousin on friday... i love rafting, family and the cherokee national forest. in conclusion, it was a great day!

so...this is my life in chattanooga right now. i'm still applying for jobs and hoping (more like needing) to find a job and income soon but i'm thankful that God takes care of me regardless.
