First Morning In A New World

I slept great last night! I got a full 8 hours of sleep! I don't even get to do that at home. My bed is a little hard and the room was a little cold, but I just created a warm, soft cocoon with all of my blankets and slept like a baby. I spent my pre-breakfast morning unpacking and putting things in their proper places. I'm now officially moved in to my new home. Although, I seem to be missing a bunch of t-shirts. I'm not sure where they are right now - I'll worry about that when I need them. I had a continental breakfast this morning - toast, hot tea, orange juice, seasonal fruit (apples, tangerines, pineapples), and a breakfast croissant. I wasn't very hungry, but it was a good way to start the morning.

I'm not quite sure what I am going to do today. I need to spend the morning exploring the internet tracking down a bus schedule and deciding whether or not I am going to have to rent a car. The bus schedule has proven to be quite elusive, but I need to test that out before I rent a car - a car would be safer and more reliable, but it is also going to be way more expensive to have...I'm not sure I can afford to have one for the duration of my stay. We'll see what happens and re-evaluate it tomorrow. In addition to figuring out how to get around, I also need to get a local cell phone for emergencies, a map, and read my policy document for work next week. Expect some back dated pictures and possibly a video tour of my pre-unpacked room at some point today. Also, I haven't had the opportunity to write any comments back yet, so expect those to come today as well.

Sidebar: If you see the entries time stamped, that time reflects PST, so add the time accordingly to figure out when I'm posting these. For the most part the entry itself should give you an idea of what time of day it is.
