Thursday night...

What a DAY!
I started my day out by hitting the road right before 8 to head to orientation. The drive was surprisingly easy considering LA traffic. Once I found the apartment complex, check in went smoothly; roughly took 2 hours of checking in paper work, and getting assigned a room. Since I was the first of thirty to check in, I got an empty apartment and got first pick. I got a room with a nice view, a bed with a window next to it, and best of all, a walk in closet. No other room I've seen had one. HA. Love it!

My room mate is named Jillian, and she too is from the Bay Area; San Mateo to be exact. She is my long lost twin and I am thankful that so far I have good roomies. I also am sharing the apartment with two middle aged women who have the other room. I'm hoping cleaning and cooking won't be an issue with motherly figures around.

My day consisted of an hour of unloading my car, parking in a complex two buildings away from my apartment building, and moving everything in. Then, orientation was at 3 pm. Just a general info meeting about housing rules. From there, my room mate and I headed back to our room to make a list of necessary things we needed; food, toilet paper, utensils....etc. Our apartment was naked, and seemed like a lot of the amenities that were suppose to be included were missing and so they will be delivered tomorrow...hopefully.

It is a little past ten and am now settling into bed enjoying grape nuts for dinner. I was so busy today, running around everywhere that my entire day consisted of a cup of coffee and a biscoit for breakfast, a tuna melt for lunch, and a bowl of grapenuts for dinner; with plenty of water throughout the day to keep me hydrated.

I had to soak my feet in hot water before getting into bed. I felt like I did a day at Disneyland, walking around non stop. I can just imagine how I'll feel once my job starts going. I need my Dr. Scholl's!! Haha. Mom made sure I was supplied :) Love you Mom! Well, I think I'll call it a night, I have a busy next two days with more orientations and meetings, so I'll try to keep you updated daily at least for the next week or so. I am enjoying your comments. I will be responding, so please look out for that as well.
