Oh my goodness (this is a bit pessimistic)
So I think almost everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. My placement wasn't ready for me. I can't actually start working until at least the end of next week, but probably closer to the 28th. I don't have internet connection anywhere close to where I live, unless I ask someone to use their work computer (this will hopefully be fixed on monday). I live in what was probably once the employee lounge, so it is in one of the main office buildings and after 530 pm I am alone in this huge building. And really to top it off, my computer started acting up, so like the good girl I am I called the HP service people, not once but twice because of these calls the computer was messed up even more than it was. I finally was able to make recovery discs, but these wiped out everything (and by everything I mean ALL of my documents and my MUSIC!!) I spent 3.5 hours at a clinic for a physical just to give a urine sample, touch my toes, have my ears and throat looked into and have my blood pressure taken (right now it is good, but we will see if these little things keep on happening).
Some good things are that I got a libary card, so I can check out books etc. Most of the people that I have met are very nice and want to help in any way. I have driven around part of the valley and gotten to explore a little bit. The church I went to this morning, even though I probably won't go back there, I found out that the pastor is from Corpus Christi (what a small world). La Verne is very much like Georgetown, so at least it feels like home. I have already found some places that I can get cheap food and friendly service!
I am just ready for my work to start and have been getting very frustrated that no one seems to know what I am supposed to be doing, not just for the next two years, but the next week. I am supposed to be getting my desk on Monday at the school, so I think things will start to look up. I hope that my classmates are having an easier transition time.

We hope things have gotten straightened out.
It surely didn't seem to me to be what you'd signed up for.
If you haven't heard from Lynn, I shoult tell you that her therapy is helping. She still can't feel hot or cold on her legs, so she has to be careful not to burn or freeze them. OOO&XXX, Gma & Gpa
