Sep 2005

well, here i am in Seattle for job training. its beautiful here, most of the days have started off cloudy but have turned sunny. today is the first actually rainy day i have encountered. unfortunately due to the fact that i have to be in class all day, haven't been able to see much of the city. i did havethe chance to go to a seattle mariners game last week. that was awesome, i have never been to a live baseball game before! had lots of fun, had some beer, chatted, watched the game...wonderful!
i get to stay in a pretty decent hotel, a nice breakfast etc. unfortunately it is nowhere near downtown, so haven't got to see downtown at all yet.
this weekend i'll be doing all that sight-seeing type stuff. and on the 22nd, Salman Rushdie is speaking at the university, so i am planning to go, as it's only $5 to see in person this man whose work i have read, and whom i have heard so much of.
so, that's pretty much the entirety of my plans so far. i am staying at a downtown hostel called the Green Tortoise, it sounds pretty cool. am making friends with a few people who work for Horizon Air, so i'll have people to go visit in the future.
anyways, guess i should get back to class now, i am sitting here in the computer room typing while we are "learning" stuff...i have learnt it all before so i am trying to look busy like i am paying attention and following the class, while at the same time not falling asleep...so back to class for me!
