Two Week Status Report!

Within the two weeks I've been here I have accomplished a short list.
1). I have gone on four interviews (don't get excited, they were all for the same damn waitress job!!!). Outback apparently has a tough application process. I have been hired and have one orientation and two classrooms before I can actually start working! I can honestly say that this job better be f*^%ing awesome for all this screening stuff.
2). I have paid tuition, set up my student loan, and got my parking permit. While I was on my way over to the parking permit place, I walked with a girl who SEEMED nice, but with in our short walk she revealed her true self. During the walk across the street, I learned that this girl was an incoming freshmen who grew up here in Nashville but doesn't have friends since she is so mean to them. NICE!
3). I have become a Harry Potter junky! I remember when the Harry Potter books first came out, my friend David and I chose to fight the trend and NOT read the books. We did go to the movies, but didn't play into the hype! Well I decided it was time to catch up. I just finished the forth book and plan to start the fifth this afternoon.
4). I have created an indent in my favorite lawn chair by the pool where I read Harry and work on my wonderful golden tan!
5). My only human conversation before this weekend (besides friends and family from home) have been only two instances. When I was walking Bailey (my dog) a girl about 13 spotted us. Ever since then whenever she sees me, whether it's at the pool or on a walk, she talks my DAMN ear off! Usually our conversations pertain to the celebrities her little friends are in love with. SHOOT ME! The second instance was when I bought a desk that was too heavy for me to carry. I tried for about a half hour to get this desk inside and finally sucked it up and asked the guys who live upstairs to help me. They were very eager to help and I spoke with them briefly to see if they were possible friend material. I keep hoping that they will knock on my door and invite me to some really cool party, but they haven't. :o(
This slow life is really hard to get used to since this summer I was going out just about every night (sorry mom). Now I'm already stuck in a routine, I fear, is a lot like my grandmother's. I wake up earlier than someone with a whole day to fill up should. I try to prolong the actual act of removing the covers by reading a little Harry, but eventually Bailey can't hold her pee any longer. So we get up, have some breakfast and watch one of the 12 channels I have. Then around ten, Bailey and I go for a jog/fast walk. That is usually an ego boost since I have so many construction workers in my neighborhood. By the time Bailey and I get home, we are so tired all we can do is sit there and wait for our bodies to stop sweating! On most days I've been going into Outback for a ten minute interview. This really bothers me because I, of course, have to shower for this but it only last ten minutes and then I'm back hanging out at the pool! What a waste of expensive shampoo!
Though my life looks like I have no concerns, I really do. My three close friends live together and two of them are not getting along. This, of course, has effected all of them. They have discontinued their lease and are all looking into separate living options. Oh I wish I could be there for them. I'm 800 miles away and feel helpless. Ladies, I love you and will do whatever I can from here!
On a positive note. I HAVE ONE FRIEND! Tera, a girl I met at orientation, moved here this weekend. We went out Saturday and I think I'm having dinner with her tonight. Thank God!
Well I told you I would give you a play-by-play of my life here, I bet you thought it would be more exciting! ME TOO!
