My first weeks here
It’s been a while since my last update so here it goes…
I’ve been in California now for three weeks. This is actually my fourth week. It seems much longer though, I guess that is a good sign. I have been pretty busy the past couple of weeks. The first week I took care of getting a laptop so I could get connected with the rest of the world againJ, I picked up my rental car, made arrangements for my written driving test (for 2 weeks later), got a new Social Security Card, opened a bank account, got a cell phone and basically battled jet lag as best as I could.
My second and third weeks were filled with sending out applications and actually going to job interviews. I have advanced to 2nd rounds for various positions. So hopefully something will come out of it soon. I really hope so. I am currently staying at a hotel and I really want to find my own place asap. But in order to do that I need a job…
Last Friday I took my written test for my CA driver’s license and yesterday was the actual behind the wheel test. I passed for both so am now also a licensed CA driver LOL.
All I need now is my own car, a job and an apartment. Most likely in that order.
I went to Universal Studios Hollywood Sunday. Bought an annual pass so on my days off I will have somewhere to go LOL. I will also get a Disney annual pass naturally, but I want to wait with that until I can actually proof that I am a California resident. I guess they have special discounted passes if you are.
Universal was nice. Different from Orlando but still nice. There is this area there where you actually have a view of Burbank and Studio City and whatever else is in that area. It was then that I realized that I am actually here and here to stay. That was a good feeling. See that hadn’t really sunk in yet. What a trip to Universal can’t do to people LOL.
Well I’d better get going. I have another job interview tomorrow morning so I’d better relax a bit and get ready (it’s at 8am tomorrow morning).
Laters.
