If anyone was afraid that I would like Atlanta so much I wouldn't want to come back, never fear. Last night I had my first run-in with a live cockroach, and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Long story short, the roommates are gone for the weekend and I've plugged up both of their doors with plastic bags, thinking/hoping it ran into one of their rooms after running around mine. It makes me feel so stupid and embarrassed sometimes that I'm afraid of bugs...I know I'm a lot better than I used to be, but when I saw that nasty thing it just all came back and I felt like all I could do was sit and watch to make sure it didn't get too close. Luckily I was talking with heather when it made the appearance...I dunno what I would've done if I had been completely alone and had no one to talk me through that lol.
Work is fine, Mandi (the girl I share an office with) is really nice, we talked for awhile Thursday. I haven't done much this weekend but I think in a bit I'll go out, even if it's just to sit in a coffee shop and read my book. Might not be the most social activity, but I can't meet anyone just sitting around the condo all day. I start actual lab training Monday, I'm excited.
I hope you guys are all doing well, I miss you a lot. I think next week I'll find out how much time I can get off for Christmas, so I can get plane tickets.
