Here is a quick update on what is happening in my life.
Thanks to Mom and Dad, I now have all my possessions in my possession. (Well besides those few boxes that get to stay in the Mankato house a bit longer)
I haven't unpacked much because I haven't been at my apartment much. Last week I was in Caruthersville, MO all week and tomorrow I leave for Port Allen, LA and will be there until Friday afternoon.
My apartment has an amazing view of tree covered hills and the sunset in the evening. It sure is beautiful in TN. I will try to get a picture posted once I find where I stuck my camera.
I am car shopping. Well, I will be once I get back from Louisiana. I am going to a Suzuki dealership on Friday and a Honda dealership on Saturday. Any and all suggestions and/or advice on car purchasing is welcome.
I better get to bed... I am still getting used to the "I used to go to bed at 5am and now I get up at 5am" thing...

Work
So I have started work. Nothing too exciting has happened yet, I am just learning about the company and the projects that they would like to get moving on at this point. Next week and the week after that I will be traveling. First to Missouri and then to Louisiana.
Yesterday had a few other interesting happenings though. I went out to get some food and things and realized I also needed gas. I had put in a few bucks earlier in the day just so I had enough to get around, but I wanted to fill up in Mboro where gas is much cheaper than Nashville. So I pulled up to the gas station, walked around to the pump and looked at my car. "Hey wait a second," I thought, "where's the gas cap?" I had pulled up to the wrong side! Not only had filled up with gas earlier in the day, I also have I been the sole driver of that car for 6 years! I just laughed and moved my car over to the other pump, but boy did I feel dumb.
Then I went to the dollar store that had just opened to look around. I was surprised to find a book (Bait and Switch) by an author (Barbara Ehrenreich) of a book (Nickel and Dimed) that I had read for a class (Motivation) in undergrad (MNSU). It is a $24 book and I only paid $1! I was pretty excited. Hopefully when I read it there isn't a reason for it being at the dollar store... like its missing every third word or something.
When I was driving home from shopping I had to be sure to slow down as to not hit the huge family of skunks crossing the road. There was at least 8 of them, and they all had cute bushy tails. Some of them had clear black and white coloring, but others had a lot of white to them too. I didn't get that great of a look at them before they scurried off into the brush, but I was happy I at least didn't hit any of them.
