Its been a good day to be back in America. I am getting readjusted fast. I even haven't mixed up the y's and z's on the keyboard TOO much.

After waking up at an ungodly early hour, talking to the NASA movers (who, unfortunately, decided that even though at 3,500 dollar cost for my move, well below the 16,000 dollar maximum moving expenses, that it was unacceptable to have them move my things from both Florida and Philadelphia, because the move from Philadelphia alone is 500 dollars cheaper for them, even if they reimburse my U-haul, then the combined move), watching mucho tv (I have never enjoyed an ER repeat SO much), and having scrambled eggs (happily using a DISHWASHER)...

Nick and I went to lunch and Christmas shopping. It was lovely spending the afternoon with him. Its so much fun hearing about someone's freshman year at college. In some ways its so typical (and Nick is having an extremely typical freshman year), but everyone's experience is unique too. Nick told me again that he really wants to work for the CIA. I think that would be perfect for him, so maybe he'll get his act together and apply for next year.

Otherwise, I am growing excited about going to Florida and then to Houston. Yipppeee!
