Home?

I have returned from my home in Minnesota to my new home in Burbank California. There is going to be a bit of an adjustment period as I readjust to California after living in Minnesota for the better part of the last month.

Leaving yesterday was harder than when I departed for LAFSC several months ago. I think the uncertainty about my future (compared to a syllabused existence at LAFSC) and the fact that I didn't leave my family for a 3 day road trip with my brother were the biggest reasons for it.

My flight was relatively uneventful so that is always a positive. Other than some delays on both connections, the only interesting part was landing at LAX. As we came down, a thick fog was creeping in off the ocean. I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, I can barely see the end of the wing. It must be hard to land in this kind of fog." Then BAM. We hit the ground pretty hard. Hard enough to do damage? Probably not but certainly the hardest I've ever landed in a plane.

I have finally met my roommates, which is nice to have off my to-do list. I am spending most of today and a good chunk of tomorrow moving my things into my new living quarters. They are somewhat smaller than what I was used to at Park La Brea so things are going to get cramped pretty quick. I really have too much stuff don't I?

I start my job hunt in earnest on Monday so keep praying for me!
