It's been a week.

It's been a week since I arrived to Seattle and things are starting to fall in place. I finally found a place to live and I moved in on Friday morning, right on time since my hotel reservation expired on the same day. I am now living in a place called Kirkland on the east side of Seattle and as a fun fact the original Costco is located about 2 miles from here. I'm renting a room from a lady in her house, it's a very nice place and I have a private bathroom and some storage space. I feel very weird about this since I've never done it before but it was all part of the plan. There is a cat in the house which is very different than having 2 crazy dogs jumping and howling all day, this little friend is quiet and doesn't seem to understand that the bed is mine! 

The weekend was relaxing and slow, I didn't have much to do since I don't really know anybody here but I still made myself go out a few times. I visited a park called Gas Works, this place is beautiful and the weather really helped, it was sunny and cold. There were a lot of people flying kites and hanging out, I took some very nice pictures and spent some time looking at the city. It still amazes me how different it is from all other places I've lived in. I had dinner at an irish pub in downtown Kirkland, I think I'll be back next weekend to watch the live band.

Sunday was all about finding a new job. I updated my resume and profiles in all job sites and started looking for employment. I found a lot of good opportunities and applied to all of them, hopefully I will hear back from some of them. I also joined a couple of meet up groups and professional organizations, my plan is to start networking and maybe meet somebody who needs and HR manager :)

Have a nice week!
