Two days after my car was stolen I received a call from the St. Paul police department telling me that my car had been stripped and that it was at the St. Paul impound. This was a relief for me as well as a pain in the ass because how the hell can I be expected to get over to St. Paul when my car has been stolen! This feeling became really apparent when my dad dropped me off at the impound and they had already started to charge a fee for towing the car and holding it. I would have thought that we would at least be granted a grace period. It ended up not being a big deal because when I went to look at the car there was nothing left that I would want… besides my $50 ironman triathlon watch and some of the speakers in the car. I don’t know why they didn’t take the tweeters or the 5” rounds because they were pretty nice! I was unable to get out the 4 by 9s in the back for some reason or another and they also left the taillights and the seats. That is at least another $150 that they could have gotten from the car by selling them on ebay. I took what I could from the car even though we weren’t supposed to (I am sure that they were fine with personal items but all else attached to the car I think we were supposed to leave). I ended up leaving the car at the impound for it to be sold at a local auction or compressed into a flat sheet of metal and plastic!
From here I started spending a LOT of time on the internet. Approximately 10 hours a day researching jobs, cars and MCAT. This could not have been healthy for me!
There is not a lot else that happened to me between then and my trip to Hawaii so I won’t talk much about that time period besides that I have had a few interviews with some head hunter corporations which have not lead to anything besides them telling me to get in contact with them after I come back from Hawaii.
I left for Hawaii on February 9th and spent a week there with my family. The weather was not as warm as I had hoped at times due to the overcast conditions that we experienced sometimes when on the beach but when the sun was out it was glorious! We went hiking in the jungle, swam under a natural 150’ waterfall, zip lined near the mountains (jungle area), went on a whale watching tour where we saw the Na Pali coast, whales and dolphins. I saw hundreds of whales, tons of breaches and overall it was a very relaxing time. With all the time spent outside in the sun and on the beach I was very surprised that I did not get burnt!
While in Hawaii I had a few phone calls from different companies inquiring about job positions and I am pretty sure that if all else fails I will be able to move to CO and become a swimming/diving/tennis instructor along with lifeguard at Cherry Hills! This of course would interfere with my bike trip so I still have some things to think about.
