Hello world!
So,
I started this blog to record and process my thoughts and experiences during ocean city summer project.
it’s more for the sake of my sanity, as well as so that the things i do and learn here have a lasting effect, than for anything else…
however, so many people have asked me what i’m actually doing this summer… so maybe this will answer that question, too.
so far, i’m having a pretty amazing time here. i’ve learned a lot about God and myself and other people… so that’s all been cool.
as far as the job search is going… it’s frustrating. i’ve literally been in every store on the boardwalk at least twice, as well as every shop on asbury as least once to ask for a job… no one is hiring. no one. i don’t understand… and it was weird, cause a couple days ago some people came to the inn and told a bunch of us that we were hired to work at their campground, but yesterday they only called a couple of the people back… so i thought i had a job for a few hours, but apparently not… it’s starting to get really frustrating and discouraging… i’m basically out of money, but i still have to buy lunch every day and dinner twice a week… so i don’t really know what i’m going to do… i guess i’m just going to keep begging until someone hires me out of pity…ugh…
everything besides the job search has been amazing. i’m loving getting to know people… it was hard the first few days, coming into project late and not knowing anyone, but now i’m starting to feel like i know people and they know me… tonight the girls that live in the mansion are having a potluck… so i’m pretty pumped about that!
and last night i had a really good talk with two of the guys in my impact group and minjae… it was good times. christians can be really, really cool.

You don’t understand why no one is hiring? It’s because the economy is bad. I thought it was obvious.
yeah… but it’s kind of a beach town, so all of the places need seasonal help. they have hiring signs, they just don’t read applications. if you happen to come into a place while the manager is there, you get the job. a bunch of people got jobs at places i’ve already applied just because they went in while the manager happened to be in, and he hired them without really reading their applications…
plus it’s a project requirement that we find jobs…
