Hey everybody! I'm back! The move ended up taking a lot more energy and time than I thought it would. I got horribly sick about halfway through and was out for about a week, then it was nonstop meetings until yesterday, which was the first day of class. Today I finally have some time to breathe and I missed you guys so here I am.
I love Savannah so far. It's not too big, but it's definitely a city (unlike the small town that I'm used to). I live in midtown, which means I'm walking distance from the historic downtown area (a bit of a long walk, but it's not bad), and about a 20 minute drive from work (except on days when I'm at the extension campus, which is about a 45 minute drive). I'm walking distance from a couple of different churches, the two biggest parks in town, and a fantastic Middle Eastern deli, as well as a pub that supposedly has one of the best burgers in town, although I haven't tried it yet. I'm loving exploring a new home. Also I'm in love with Publix. We had terrible grocery stores where I moved from, and so it's nice to have a better option!
The job is going really well so far. I had a little bit of a tiff with my (former) office mate, but apparently she has an issue with everybody and did not enjoy getting moved out of my office to make way for me (I'm full time, she's part time). My students are great so far, and I'm excited to keep getting to know them.
And to put the whipped cream on the top of the ice cream sundae that is my life...BF is coming to visit SOON! He's still working oversesa, but his grandfather passed away unexpectedly Sunday morning, so he's taking leave to come home. After he spends a few days with his family, he's coming down here!! I didn't think I was going to get to see him until November, so I'm really excited (although I wish he was coming home under happier circumstances).
I'm not even going to be able to catch up with everything over the past month, but I am trying! Glad to be back with you ladies. I'm sure there are newbies that I don't know, but I look forward to getting to know you!
