Settling in

Just an update on how things are going - it's only been a week, but it feels like so much longer. Not in a bad way, just that I guess a lot has happened, and I've had to learn or retrain my brain on just about everything. Although, I can sucessfully get to work and back without a GPS! Wahoo! Getting back is easy, there's only 2 ways to go. Getting to work is another challenge - there's about 8 ways to Sunday to go, and each one takes WAY longer than it should. Guess I'm used to living right near where I have to be... :)

Let's see... some highlights from the week.
- I discovered that NC has absolutely NO IDEA what to do when that white stuff comes down from the sky. My dad and I were laughing at what passes for plowing and snow plows on Sunday, and ironically, several of the accidents we saw were snowplows that had driven off the road and were stuck in snow banks. School was cancelled for 3 days and a two hour delay on Thursday, and we only got 5 inches total, and the snow/ice melted by Tuesday night. Guess it's good we're not getting the snow that's in PA right now - we'd be shut down until spring!

- I finally had a chance to go to the doctor yesterday and got antibiotics. I don't feel that much better yet, but at least my head is not exploding as much from the sinus pressure.

- I really like my place and my roommates - it's going to be a neat living situation I think. I have 4 roommates - Amy, Lizzy, Katie, and Ashley. More on the house later, when I have a chance to dig out my camera and take some pictures.

- Work is going to be good. It was a little slow at points this week, and there's a lot to take in. But I have been so content this week with where God has me. I can see that I'm exactly where I need to be, and exactly the level I need to be at. It's not too challenging to be over my head and frustrating, but not too easy that I'll be bored. It really is perfect. It's also neat to be at the next level up in terms of quality and expectations. Not that Hershey or PSU was a bad school or slacked off, it's just that this is definitely the next level up, which is nice in many ways.

Well, thanks for all your prayers and support - I appreciate them! Please keep in touch. More to come soon!
