Rolling along...

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to be more diligent with this blog because I didn't mean for the posts to be a month apart. I'll try to post more (for my mom's sake at the very least).

The past month has been pretty much all training. I spent a week in Waco, TX in a classroom, a week in Belton, TX in a classroom, and then a couple of weeks at my regular office in Austin doing on the job training. It's been cool so far and I've been meeting a ton of people and especially getting to know my fellow trainees (about 19 of us). The nice thing is - I'm getting paid the same amount for this training as I do for my regular job so it's a pretty sweet gig.

As far as the non-job aspects of my life go:

-Erika is in Miami right now and is actually about to come visit me in Austin this week. She's figuring out where she wants to live in America now that she's back for good from the UK.
-I've taken a couple trips in the past month - One to Arizona to see Erika (she was visiting her cousin out there) and one to Tallahassee.
-I moved into a new place, but only temporarily. This is because I had to get out of my friend Ashley's place (She was being gracious enough to let me sleep on her floor for over a month - AND FOR FREE!) and it just so happened that a friend of hers needed a roommate for just about two months. This bought me some time and now I am trying to figure out where I will live more permanently. This is kind of hard, however, because of the fact that Erika might possibly come to live in Austin, as well as James Cooper (albeit less possible).

We'll see what happens with the living situation...right now I'm enjoying my flight benefits on Continental (they run out Oct. 29th) and trying to stay stress-free with everything else.
