Heavenly

I've been here for about 3 weeks. It's starting to get really damn good too.  I love my  job (well except for the physically exhausting part of it).  I basically just have to charm people into giving me money, which is working quite well.  I love meeting people from all over the world! And I'm getting better at knowing which state/country someone is from by their accent.

There are a lot of awesome people here too.  Everyone is starting to really friendly know that we always work with each other.  I met someone that I really liked, but that person went away to a different part of the park :( .  There are a lot of alcoholics here.  Everyone has been partying a lot and just getting ridiculously silly drunk and somehow make it to work every day (myself included). I layed in a hammock last night and watched the stars for a while.

The hiking is incredible.  I did an 18 mile hike last week and it was just absolutely breathtaking.  I LOVE IT here!  I'm going to the Tetons  in a couple of days.  THE TETONS.  I'll surely be in heaven. I wish my friends back home would visit and see what I see here.

In the park

So I arrived a little over a week ago.  Just spent my time getting settled, getting to know people here, and training for my job.  I was promoted to server on the first day, so that was pretty f'in awesome.  I had my first day serving yesterday, it was pretty awful, but today was much better and I think I worked out the kinks.  Except I still feel like a dumbass trying to open a bottle of wine with their shitty tool.  But anyways.

As I expected, the weather has been pretty terrible .  It's been raining almost every single day.  So haven't been able to do any hiking except for going down to the Canyon a couple of times.  But it should start getting better in about a week is my prediction. 

Peace
