Sometimes, it seems as though there are not enough hours in the day…which seems especially odd to me since really all I have to do out here is sleep, work, eat, and uhh try to work out (feel free to put those in whatever priority order you see fit)… but as always, there are never enough hours in the day to accomplish everything and do it all to my 110% standards.
So far, life in Montana with my new job is what I expected it to be. It really is hard to move to a new area and start a new career. I received so many “heads up” before getting into it, but nothing can really prepare you until you are thrown in the middle of it.
What a task it has been to get familiar with my new town and understand the news issues and sports issues that really matter to the local people. Especially, when YOU are the news source, so it’s not like you can sit down and watch the news to find out what’s going on…because you are the news!
People in Montana really have been incredibly friendly and helpful. They could and would chat for hours if I didn’t always cut them off because, well, I have a pretty strict deadline that rolls around every evening.
I miss all my friends and family back home. I didn’t think I’d miss the rain..but oddly enough, when it rains here (which only happens on occasion) I get a little giddy. Don’t ask, I don’t know. I guess it’s just the familiarity of home.
Congratulations to my Washington Husky basketball team on their improbable and AWESOME run to the Sweet 16….and I love that the Mariners are getting some airtime on SportsCenter and ESPN the Mag…World Series…I think so.
