First Day

So my first day in Salt Lake City. Wow. So I am actually here. To think that so many people told me that they doubted I would ever move. Yet here I am, over 2,000 miles away from home. There are a lot of words I could use to describe how I feel. Accomplished, happy, homesick, excited, tired, worried, lost.. I could probably go on, but I'll just move on.

There is so much going on in my head. 
- I need a job.
- I miss my family.
- I miss my friends.
- I am excited to meet new people.
- I can't wait to start dating again.
- What if I hate the people I live with?
- What if I like them, but they hate me?
- Why can't I understand this stupid grid system?
- What if I am really stupid and I can't pass the CNA exam?

Today I went out with Jenn for breakfast. Then got some cash out of the only Bank of America ATM in the entire area. I got my monthly bus pass, and ran to the drug store. Then she took me up to see a view of the mountains.  Which was breathe taking. All I could think was "Shit, I have missed out on this my entire life".  If there is anything to make moving out here worth it, it is the scenery.  


I am going to meet the family I am going to be staying with in a little over half an hour. I am slightly worried about what they will think of me. I mean I know I am fucking fantastic, but they don't. And I know I can be off putting at times. I really hope I give them a good impression. 

Well that is my first day. Yeppers.
