I'm here!

The day has finally arrived... and 18 hours in I am in Louisiana.
I drove a different route than I did before because I was going straight to New Orleans to pick up my key, and I liked that route! There was civilization, and it felt nicer. If you follow me on facebook I have pictures from every welcome center except for South Carolina.
When I arrived in New Orleans, I was especially looking around in the communities to see what had and what had not been restored. Seems most things are up and running, however, I was not in the places that still have relief efforts going on.
So I got to the hospital (I am in love with the area Children's Hospital is located in) and I picked up my key, and went straight to the apt complex because I had yet to see it in real life. I literally live RIGHT on the levee. It's exciting because I brought my bike and all I have to do is walk out the gate and go up a hill and the levee path is right there! The apartment is old, but very cute, it is a loft so there are 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Does not look like anyone is living there right now because there was not any personal stuff and none of the beds were made. There are 2 beds in each room. I don't know when i'll find out about if i'll have any roommates, but it seems like the least of my worries right now. There is a wii and a wii fit, and I am not sure if the hospital provided that for us, but if they did woohoo! There were also decorations still up from someones birthday, so I feel like either I have a room mate who has semi moved out, or they were just left up. pictures to come later... the actual move in will happen tomorrow
I am excited to start, but I am scared at the same time. I have this overwhelming feeling I have not done something I should have (I just recently purchased liability insurance, but it should have happened earlier and I was stupid about it, so I hope to god i'll get proof of that before monday. Otherwise I have no idea what will happen). I feel like I am starting over, but not completely. I don't know when i'll ever feel comfortable with where I am, but it is just the first day... so we'll see, maybe i'll settle in soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! :) it's 2010 I can't believe it.
