Uhg. It's hard updating two different blogs. So this one has been neglected until now.
I have now lived in Salt Lake for 9 whole days. Woot. I am still unpacking so it doen't quite feel like home yet, but it's getting there. I have only gotten lost three times and each time I was able to find my way through without calling anyone. Go me! But so far I haven't done anything exciting. Hung out with Sam (Samantha) and Corey at Coffee Break on Monday night, then Sam and I went to a couple of bars and sang kareoke. That's it. I was gunna go to 80's night, but Mike and I weren't really in the mood. But I am going to Sound...it'll be nice to not have to drive for an hour just to dance.
I still miss some stuff in Ogden, tho. My family is really far away and it makes me nervous. It's weird. I am not homesick or sad or missing them...I am axious and a bit scared. Not to be alone, cause I am fine with that, but I am afraid of not being around in case I am needed. It's hard to explain. I also miss the few friends I hung out with in Ogden. Matt, Will, Mike, Brenda, etc. A lot of nights I miss being able to just jet over to Iggy's and spend the night at his place, or have him spend the night at mine. :/ I am still trying to visit him as much as I can, tho.
My job is going alright. The first two days of training made me think I had made a mistake. But now that the preliminary crap is over, I am actually enjoying myself. I have met a few cool people. Cecilia, Jamal, Amanda, and Thane are my favorites in the class. We all are on the back row (of course.) Our training hates the back row..lol. But I am doing damn good and I think it confuses him. I am feeling more social at that job. Introducing myself to people, chatting and joking around, standing up and voluteering for stuff, presenting topics to the class or speaking for group presentations with no fear...it's not really me at all. But i really like it. I feel like I am changing for the better. Like I am finally growing and I am genuinely happy with myself and my life. Not because of a silly job, but just in general and for a lot of reasons. I hope it keeps up.
