The Great Unknown: Texas

So! Exactly one week ago, my father and i set out from memphis and drove 11 hours (stopping only for gas, mind you) to Houston Tx, my new home. It's been a craaazy week trying to get settled, but i think i've done pretty well. I've met the five other girls in my program, and they're all awesomely awesome. My apartment is beyond cool. The city is a literal treasure trove of adventure, what with libraries, odd restaurants, and public transportation to be explored. I've even begun to participate in a church (thanks for the recommendation, Stuart!)

All in all, it's been a good experience for me so far. definitely lots to learn, but i feel a great swell of excitement from living in a new city all by myself.

more updates along the way...once i get internet access in my apartment (my next battle).
