Views Beyond Description and Farmer's Tans

Hey peeps,

So this is a little later than I  originally planned on posting this but I also assumed that I would've figured out the internet on my laptop by now as well. Still haven't figured that out so there won't be pictures   in this blog which is too bad because let me tell you...

It is BEAUTIFUL out here. My best friend and his Dad (basically my other family)  drove me out here last friday. We got into Montana and it was all of a sudden this gorgeous view of these beautiful, enormous, snow-covered mountains. It was breathtaking. I really wish I could post pictures.

I've eaten so much delicious food since friday at these awesome little family owned diners. I have had the best pie at The Park Cafe in St. Mary's.

I live in a three person room in an all girl's dorm. It's one of three dorms. My roommates are pretty cool. I really like the older one. She's really gone out of her way to make me feel at home.

I'm working as a Houseperson which is different than a Housekeeper. So my responsibilities include cleaning all of the public and employee bathrooms, helping strip and make beds, stocking the housekeeping closets and doing inventory. Most of my co-workers are awesome. There's one in particular that is giving me a little hell because he likes to slack off. But c'est la vie.

This job involves a lot of walking because we have cabins and motels and they are all pretty spaced out and it's pretty hilly. On top of that pulling around a rolling cart full of 50 lb bags of linens is really heavy come to find out. Suffice it to say, I am sore and exhausted.

So far I have gone on one hike. It was around the lake that I live by. We passed a waterfall and I found Gallium sp. which I introduced to the people who I was hiking with.

Okay well I've been on the common room computer for a while and dinner is being made so I will have to go. Hopefully next time I write it will be on my laptop so I can add pictures because you guys need to see how gorgeous it is over here.

TTFN (ta ta for now)

PS I spend a lot of time outside at work walking around and because of that I'm getting a farmer's tan. (Figured I should probably explain my title...)
