So things have really heated up for me in the last few weeks, and I’m not referring to the summer heat, although the temp is nearing 100 degrees outside. I’m referring to my life and being back in the US for the last few months. I’m not going to go into all the details, but I will give an overview of what I’ve been up to. It has been close to a month since my last post so I think an update is long overdue.

About two weeks ago I accepted a position in Nebraska teaching graphic design and all the related fields that go along with it. It’s an exciting position and I’m looking forward to the start of the semester. All the people that I met on my interview were great. Without exception they were all kind and engaging and I’m looking forward working with them.

The campus is small, but it is postcard perfect. It sits on a hill and everywhere you look there are mature trees and green grass. I think it’s safe to say that I was overwhelmed by the amount of green while I was there.

Now all the hard parts become real like moving to the new city and setting up a new household. Because I lived oversees for so long I really don’t have anything to actually set up a house. I have one towel and clothes, and of course all my tech.

I’m in the process of renting an apartment (sight unseen) and if my instincts are accurate I think I’ve got one lined up. I’m just waiting for my application to go through. After that I’ll be looking for a car.

I’ll be leaving NM in about two or three days. I haven’t bought tickets yet just because I can’t seem to find a direct route to my new home. Since I’m not really familiar with the area I’m having some trouble picking the best way to go. Tomorrow though, it has got to be done.

Okay, I know this update is short but I don’t want to tell the world what’s going on in detail. I think just a basic update will suffice for now.
