It’s another Saturday here in Pittsburgh. I’m working at the reference desk job today, and the movers should be here this evening – I’m waiting for the call. I’m excited that I’ll actually, finally, truly have moved in! I still don’t have internet access at home, so I have cobbled together a schedule [...]

I started school this week and it’s much different from what I expected; lots of busy work and group work. I’m the only person in my classes who takes notes on the computer. Now if only I could get internet access in the building, I’d be set. I start my reference desk job tomorrow; that [...]

It’s been a trying week – I started work, I have orientation for school tomorrow, and I’m still having problems with my financial aid.
There were 3 things that were nice this week:
1) Salim, the owner of the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean deli
2) The Franktuary
3) Red Ribbon Original Cherry Supreme Soda
Salim has been super nice to me. He [...]

I’m super tired today – I worked a full day – and I just want to go home and nap, but I had to stop by the library to use the internet access and post some pictures of Pittsburgh. Enjoy!

So, Pittsburgh has been a bit trying. I want to like it here, I want to enjoy my time here, yet everything is not falling into place as smoothly as I would like it to.
Yesterday, I went to iron out the details of financial aid, only to discover that some paperwork was not entered into [...]

Yes, this is almost a week late – it’s last Wednesday’s travelogue, but I’ve had limited Internet access and have been trying to get all my ducks in a row. I will also post today about life in Pittsburgh thus far. And there’s no pictures because I have forgotten to download them from the camera! [...]

I was so tired last night when we got into this suburb of Chicago, that I didn’t post what we did yesterday.
We started in Southwestern Wisconsin. Our first stop was in Black River Falls to see the Orange Moose. We ate at Taco John’s (think Taco Time), and drove on to The Wisconsin [...]

Day 4 of the road trip brought about a great change in scenery – we saw a big city!! But, that was the end of the day.
Starting at the beginning, we both got haircuts in Fargo. While waiting for the haircuts, rain started pouring down and the tornado siren sounded once. I jumped up, fearing [...]

We started off from Miles City, MT, where we had breakfast at 4B’s. We drove around town and took pictures of the cool old signs and sights. We drove onto North [...]
