an update feels long overdue.

Things are going just about how I expected they would be at this juncture in the move. I think that this time period that I am in right now will prove to be the hardest, because I still don't really have any friends, and because I just started working I don't have any money, so I am struggling on several different fronts. However, don't take that as my saying that this was a mistake, because I still contend that it was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Jobs. Well, I have had one for a few weeks. I am not in love with it. I don't know if I mentioned it, but the first night I worked, a few of the girls that were there told me to "run" and "run away while i still can" and proceeded to tell me about how awful the job is. While i didn't take their word for it and decided to form my own opinion, my opinion was based largely on their attitudes and winning personalities. It is hard enough being the new kid in any situation, but they did not really make me feel welcomed or wanted, which made it that much more difficult. No one there overly friendly, really. I have met nice enough people, but no one has really made me feel like I belong, and that bothers me.

I guess I was just spoiled at ACA and Simmons.

On the bright side, I started orientation today for a job that i think i am really going to love. This is based solely on what i know about the venue, which isnt a whole lot, really, and the fact that the company seems to be pretty awesome. We spent the better part of the day underground. Tunnels. I have always loved the idea of tunnels to get from one place to another. They are so mysterious.

We will see if i still love it after i start my actual job, but i suspect that i will. i feel like this is what i have always wanted to do, which is to work in a place that caters to live music. Time will tell.

I have more to say, as I generally do, but it is getting pretty late and I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn for orientation, so I should probably wrap it up. I wish I said something worthwhile. Maybe next time.
