I haven't spent much time at the computer over the last few days, because I figured I should spend as much time as I could with Mom and Dad while they were here. I put them on the bus at the Amtrak station (it's a bus trip to the train station where they will head to Chicago) just about an hour ago, and have been fighting to regain myself. It's quite an emotional time, because it's such a big change for all of us.

I have been leeching off a neighbor's wireless since I got here, and from the looks of things I may be for quite a while longer. I ended up giving Comcast the wrong address for the transfer, and when I e-mailed them to fix it, they told me to open a chat. I opened the chat, then the rep I talked to told me I had to call. UGH! I told him I wasn't very pleased, but he didn't offer much recompense. I suppose I will try the "on-hold" game later tonight and give them a call. If I can't get it straightened out though, I may be doing this leeching game for another week.

If you know me very well, you know I'm pretty close with my family. I love my family and hold each one of them dear to me. This transition to a place a thousand miles away is starting to show its difficult side, and I'm trying to deal with it as best as I can. Old calm, laid-back, and monotone me has been having a really hard time with it.

I miss all the things I have known and been so close to already, including all my friends. I just hope I'll be able to adjust and adapt to this big city living soon.

You probably want to see more pictures, of which I do have plenty. It's just going to be a little while before I find a stable wireless connection to use while I push the 200MB worth of images out to the gallery. Be ye patient, though. I will get it done.
