One Week

It's been one week... since you've looked at me... just kidding. I apologize for starting this blog off with a bad reference to the Barenaked Ladies but I couldn't help myself. Here I go again....

It's been one week since I dropped my mom off at the airport and started my new life by myself. Here is what I've accomplished:

- I've read 4 books

- Watched 10 movies

- Called the maintenance men 3 times

- Gone on countless visits to Target

- Slammed my thumb with a hammer 5 times

- Stubbed my toes on my bed twice

- Walked around a farmers market

- Unpacked everything but my bedroom

- And made dinner every night

So it's not as much as I would have liked to accomplish but I think it was fairly productive for a first week. This upcoming week I plan to get out more. I want to go to a state park and go for a hike, attend the outdoor music nights downtown, and find something new that I didn't know about. I also am attending the Hillsong United concert on Tuesday!!! (Be jealous)

Here is what I have done so far with the place:

My Living Room

My Dinning Room

My Kitchen

My Bathroom

And My Deck

I have been having so much fun making this place my new home. That's all I have for now. I hope all is well with each and every one of you. :)

Apartment!

I have an apartment!

Here is the view from the parking lot. My balcony is the one upstairs on the left. Building 23. I think it's a sign. ;)

Here is my living room and dining room.

More pictures will be added once I make it my own.

Lessons from SC

In my continuing learning journey tonight I will bring you insights about South Carolina. Here are a few things I have learned about this great state:

1. They, like most southern states, love NASCAR. (Not a sport!)

2. No matter what kind of music they normally play, all radio stations become christian on Sunday mornings.

3. No one uses blinkers.

4. I'm pretty sure they still harbor anger towards yankees.

5. People stay up past 9pm!

I'm sure there have been other things. Let's face it, it's the south, they're weird. But I'm loving it! I applied to 10 jobs today. My hand it still seizing; but I already have two interviews for when I get back! Tomorrow I am going to be looking at a few apartments. This is the part I have been most excited for. I will hopefully have pictures and more to talk about tomorrow!
