Settling into Charleston, Part I

It's been such a busy couple of weeks! I had a wonderful goodbye party at work, which was so much fun and much appreciated. :-)

We came here, moved everything down after a very stressful packing situation (working up until the end was probably a mistake, but that's fine and done), and discovered that the landlord was no good, basically, and didn't take the house. He had promised, via email and to Tweedle Dee, that he would fix the dog poop situation. We drove up, and it was pretty much the first thing I saw-- dog messes EVERYWHERE. So gross. Also, the upstairs was SERIOUSLY claustrophobia inducing. And the area was less than ideal.  All in all, not as promised, and the main thing is not dealing with that guy. Seriously, so worth it to not deal with him for a year.

We actually found a new place that I think we're going to really enjoy. It'll be June before we can get in there, though, and that's assuming we get the first available unit. Actually, just found out today we got the unit we wanted! Our new address has been distributed to immediate family; contact us if you need it. Rosie's going to love her new place, and Handsome and I are DEFINITELY going to love it. Lots of room, safe neighborhood, walking spaces, and close to MUSC. <3 Plus, two bedrooms! Perfect for guests, and it gives me an office so Handsome can enjoy everything while I work. :-) Best of both worlds!

I've just ordered my textbooks today, and saw campus for the first time! I'm super in love with it. Seriously-- it's amazing. I'm excited. As soon as I go get my scrubs and lab uniform tomorrow, it's going to feel so much more real. I also need to go through the clothes I have here and hit up the storage unit to find the rest of my professional clothes, since I am going to be living here in Hanahan for a bit longer. There was a unit available sooner, but I really preferred the other one, so we're going to wait for it. Fortunately, Tweedle Dee is the nuclear bomb and is letting me and Rosie crash here as long as needed.

In addition to getting my scrubs, I get to begin my acquaintance with the Student Health Clinic tomorrow-- yay allergy shots! I'm also going to hit up one of the like 3 Goodwills I've seen around and search for a desk. I'm roping Tweedle Dee into helping me to reorganize the bedroom this weekend, since I'll need it to be actually workable for the school year's start soon. I have homework to do before even the first day of classes! Craziness. 

Handsome is still up in DC, so we're just keeping in touch with Skype, gchat, and, of course, the phone. I am so excited to see him next weekend when we go to Tweedle Dum's wedding part II! 

Cheers,

Woozel
