Wow. It's really been more than a month? Absolutely crazy. During that time, I've been adjusting to my new job, searching for and then leasing an apartment, and furnishing said apartment. That last part is still a work in progress.
There's a lot of stuff you need to take care of when you move to a new state, and I actually have been putting it off for too long. For example, I need to get a new license, change my plates, get a library card, register my dog, and a whole slew of other things that I can't remember off the top of my head. I better start a checklist.
As busy as I've been, there's simply been no time for fun travel trips, unless you count a million trips to Ikea as travel. I have driven back and forth between Jersey and Virginia, taking trips back to Jersey about every two weeks. This will be the first weekend that I'm finally breaking that pattern (having last gone to Jersey two weeks ago). I feel far too acquainted with I-95, particularly 495, on which I spent over an hour on my last trip just to cover a mere 10 miles. I don't know why, but DC traffic is just absolutely terrible.
I've been slowly acquainting myself with the area, and hopefully once my boyfriend joins me (in about a week), I'll start having time to go out, and maybe even go into the city! I'm very excited about this, although I heard recently that the Brickskeller Inn actually closed... I was really looking forward to returning there after our trip last year. Oh well.
