Hello again all. I sit here in beautiful downtown Eureka having just gotten my car fixed. I'm feeling a little jittery; too much caffeine for me today I guess. I am having fun exploring the city all by my lonesome, though I must return to Orick before 5:30 to sign my precious time sheet so I can get paid for the past two weeks of work. Eek! I'm sure I'll make it. 'Tis but an hour's drive from here. This city is chock full of neat little shops- antique stores, craft and artisan stores, used bookshops, thrift stores, and coffee shops! Lots of em. Lots of Wi Fi too, lucky for me. There is no end to the things I can do here. It's just so busy for such a small town! I have Eureka fever!
Tonight in Arcata The Wailers are playing at the community center and I think I may swing by there and check it out. I mean, how often does one get the chance to see the Wailers in concert, right?!
I'm starting to feel more and more at home out here with each passing day. I am considering transferring to Humboldt State and staying! We'll see. Tuition is actually really cheap there; like two thousand a semester. But room and board is like 8 thousand so there's that. Anyway, their forestry program is one of the best in the nation so it would definitely be worth it. I'll probably visit the campus tomorrow or maybe sometime in the next few weeks and talk to some people, see how feasible it is for me to do that and all that jazz. There's always grad school if the undergrad thing doesn't work out for me. But the more I think about it the more I realize that the time for me to get out of Berea for a while is now. I don't really want to go back. I miss the people and that would be the main reason I would return and finish there. Probably the only reason, really. Anyway, decisions decisions. Let's not make any rash decisions now. But I'll be thinking. That's one of the best things about living in the woods. There's not much to do at the house and it's pretty isolated so I get to think a lot and that is helpful and fulfilling. I didn't like it at first but I have grown to appreciate all this head time I have and I can sense the slow changes I am experiencing. Me and Rawson spend a lot of time just sitting and thinking and paying attention to the world, something I think a lot of people have forgotten is important to their well-being. My sense of myself is ever-evolving and I am beginning to realize the things I need to work on and their roots it is not easy to face that. I think I am finally ready to do that instead of just float through life. I am ready, friends! Anyway, all is well here. I am knee-deep in my mind and I have jumped all the way in to that river we call having the time of your life. Anyway, I've been sitting for far too long and I'm far too jittery to do it any longer. Gots to move! I hope you are all doing well. Love you and miss you.
Love
Jess

god, i wish i was experiencing what you are.
hopefully, when i get into the city, things will change. actually, i think anything would be better than here right about now.
JESS! ahhh...i miss you guys so much. we should've just gotten some red wagons and put you in them to come with us...pull you across these cursed states.
i'm glad you're having a good time. if you go see widower, i won't be there. but certainly befriend them, they are aces. and they know and love me. Nick and i are in Missoula. It seems to be a cool town, and we've been hauling ass...so we're taking a day off tomorrow. i think we'll hit the coast in a couple weeks. my phone number is (908)601-3699. we will get together, indeed.
much
