Well my friends, here is my life update: the job hunt is officially over and yesterday was definitely the craziest and most unpredictable that I've had in a while.
I woke up twice, once at 7 because my room was so cold, and then around 10 to get ready for church. After I showered and was shaving, I was thinking to myself, "Jason, you need to go to your sister's graduation". I hadn't intended to go up to Michigan for the graduation ceremony, as I was going to be there for her graduation party. But I thought, "no, you're going to regret it if you don't go" and since I live my life with no regrets, I called my dad to let him know I was coming and took off. Thankfully the time difference helped me. I got up there in time and got to see my baby sister graduate from high school and grow up into life. I'm glad I went.
As I'm walking amongst the crowd, I think to call Doc, the camp administrator at Warner. The last I knew from him, he didn't have his staff completely set as far as lifeguards went. So he said he'd call me that afternoon whether I had the job or not. Well I waited around, hung out with the fam. Dad made ribs (my favorite food that he makes the best) and shared a beer with him, which was cool. So after a while, I decided to just drive up there. And to make a long story short, I got the job. So here I am in Anderson, my last night sleeping here for a while, preparing to spend my 4th consecutive summer at Warner Camp.
I feel two things: sadness and excitement. I'm sad because I'm leaving my good friend and roommate Jon Kline. He's the man by the way so come visit him here in Anderson. I feel like I'm abandoning him, but he assured me he doesn't feel that way. Gonna miss the late night talks about girls and guitars. But I'm also excited because now I have a job and Jen is going to be working there as well, so I will get to spend a ton of time with her.
So as I finish up this entry, I want to leave you with this quote from Matt Wertz:
"Never been much good on my own
So I'm tryin' to find somebody else
Never been good at findin' much except
Loneliness all by myself
Spottin' you ain't been easy
I could use one hint maybe two
Cause I got this spot right beside me baby
Waiting here just for you"

From Anderson to you, I'll catch ya later.
