Hawthorne

So despite my best efforts to apply and interview for all the jobs within my scope of interest in the Portland area (approximately 3 available positions, all requiring two less degrees than I have. The job market is terrible!), I have yet to get a full-time job and it is very frustrating. I have to engage in relaxing and free activities that help balance my nervous mood. A couple of days ago, Erica and I worked a bit on her dissertation research over bubble tea and then we walked through the Hawthorne neighborhood back to her place. We had a mini photo shoot while we were walking and these were some of my favorite shots: (did I mention how much I love taking pictures?)
