When times get tough...HAVE A YARD SALE!!!

So, a lot has changed since I last blogged. I stopped being so homesick and started looking for a new job. Why, you ask? Once I got back from Machu Picchu I was on top of the world for a while. I was buying gifts for my fam, taking myself out to nice places to eat and generally being irresponsible with my funds. Then doom struck...I lost my job at Paddy's. Gary, the owner, claimed that immigration had been in earlier that day and asked too many questions. There were only two of us gringos working and Aidan happened to be the other. Gary claimed that he could cover Aidan by saying he was a realative because he has an Irish passport. BULLSHIT of course but what the hell could I say, it's his business. So I promptly went across the plaza to a new place that my friend Juan was opening, The Lek. I was there for about a week when I realized that it just was not going to work out. They paid me half as much as Paddy's and half the time I had to fight to even get my full wage. I never knew how good I actually had it at Paddy's.

So here I am, broke and with bills to pay at my hostel. But those who know me best know what I do under finacial stress...YARD SALE!!! I'm selling my laptop to the first buyer to pay for the rest of my stay. I remember soundly saying back home that I was fully prepared for this moment and frankly, I am. :)

In the meantime I'm having fun not having to work outside of the hostel. I get to actually go crazy a bit and party more, which my mother really doesn't like but I am enjoying immensly! This past friday's Pirate party was a success and debauchery reins! Yay!!
