"Tell me everything that happened, tell me everything you saw..."

Once again, I abandoned my blog...but I had good reason because I was in the middle of moving to and working in Lakeland.

Let me tell you, it is not an easy thing to go from living with roommates at school to living back at home in the comfort of big clean house (with mom's cooking) to living with random people in an unfamiliar somewhat messy house.  I am back to my freshman year ways (without the unhealthy eating...no freshman 15 this time!).  I even have a shower caddy that I take with me into the bathroom that I share with a 34 year old man.  BUT it's only for a month...or actually 3 weeks now...while I'm training in Lakeland.  Once I'm in Orlando I am definitely getting my own place.  My roommates are cool and everything and we're never in eachothers way but I think I deserve a few months to myself, eh?

Unfamiliar territory aside, the new job is going great.  Sure I'm the only woman and sure I'm the only non-white...and sure I'm the only one below the age of 30....and the only one without a Southern accent....

Really though, everyone's been really nice and helpful and they tell me I'm doing a great job.  I'm hoping it'll be a stable position.  Reason #1 for the last statement: Priya like it the monies.  Reason #2: It really is nice to feel useful again.  And Reason #3....ohhhh reason #3.  Turns out my boss didn't tell me EVERYTHING about the company during my interview.  I found out on my first day that a lot of our work is Disney stuff.  And the Orlando office is predominantly Disney work.  In fact, they don't even call it the Orlando office...they call it the Disney office! How did this happen?! Man I got lucky.

All in all, things are going well.  Found this beautiful lake that I (try to) go running around (almost) everyday.  I miss Naples, my family and friends but I've always said that I would like to thrown into an uncomfortable situation by myself....ya know, to know that I can fend for myself.  And I'm doing it...and it feels pretty dang good.

I feel like this is a good summary for now.  I'll leave you with a song from Stars...who were AWESOME in concert in Atlanta last weekend!! Seriously, so good.
