After a mess of a five hour drive north, we’re finally here. The boxes are unpacked, the furniture’s in place, and the kegerator is full. So far, everything’s working out fine.

The job hunt officially begins Monday. I’m not too worried yet, but I’m considering the option of getting a retail job until I can find something more permanent.

Off topic - it may surprise you to find out I’m a college basketball freak. I just watched my alma mater Florida win their conference tournament championship for the first time in school history. I’m half-drunk right now, from the elation the win brings, and from those lagers I downed during the game. I can’t wait for the NCAA tournament selection show later today. I hope we get a good seed.

It’s difficult to explain why I care. I mean, it’s a group of kids I never met, playing against another group of strangers on TV. Why should it matter? I think it has something to do with all those games I sat through when I was in school. Our team sucked back then, but I showed up and cheered. By my senior year, the team was friggin’ awesome. It’s like watching a kid grow up.
