It rains in Utah...

So, I'm blogging (for the first time ever woo!)  So far, Utah has been an interesting adventure to say the least.  Instead of mapquest's 11 hours and 40 min, it was a long, not so exciting 17 hours in the car.  Some of the mountains were pretty though! :)  I'll suggest that when you guys come to visit that you fly!:)

My apartment is lovely; however, there are still elephants who live above me.  I think they go to bed around 10:30 though.  No one is beside me though! Woo.  There are also pretty, fake hardwood floors, and I love to play with the electric fireplace.  There's a switch to turn it on and off.  

Work is interesting.  Everyone is really excited to have me there, and I'm really excited too.  I've just realized that everyone is on such different levels.  It's going to be a really long process (especially with all these committees they're put me on).  There's also this one lady who isn't particularly fond of me cause she wanted my job, but it's my goal to make her like me.  Hopefully, tomorrow I'll get my email address and computer login information and key to my office.  

Tomorrow, I have to take poor Youshi to the kennel.  I think he may end up hating me.  He's doing really well though.  He's even playing fetch with me! He misses you guys though.  

This is kind of a depressing blog and has really short sentences just in case you haven't noticed that yet! :)  I just miss San Diego lots!!

 I do really like it here and look forward to all I'm going to be able to do and learn.  :)  I also got to meet everyone at a retreat today!  It's really cool because I met with the Assistant Provost today, and he's really excited about collaboration stuff!

Ok...I'm going to bed now cause I'm still old, and I have to wake up at 6 a.m.  In case anyone has a lack of meetings in the next few weeks, I have plenty you can go to!!! I miss you guys whole bunches!! Love love
