Getting settled in
It’s strange moving this far away. For the most part, though I expected it would take some time, I’m feeling pretty much at home here already. There are definitely things that will take some getting used to, like being so far away from many of my friends and family, but there are other friends here that I haven’t seen for a while, and it’s nice to be with them again. It’s really a mixed bag.
On the practical side, I’ve put in some applications for jobs and I’m hoping to hear back from them soon. Until I do I’ll just keep searching and sending resumes out. One annoying thing I’ve found is that many of them require a salary history along with a resume. This adds a level of difficulty for me since I’ve moved from a smaller town where the rate of pay is much lower.
We’ve also been doing some apartment searching, but it’s 2 months before we head out, so it hasn’t been very productive yet. We’re getting to know the different areas and price ranges, but that’s about all we can do for a while now.
For now, I’ll just have to take it as it comes and see what happens next.
P.S. I saw Alec Baldwin in an Apple store the other day, complaining about an iPod.
