I can hardly believe that tomorrow is my first day of work.

Yesterday I traveled down to Palo Alto to check out some promising apartments, one of which looks really nice. It's a little smaller than I had wanted but it's in a really nice area near Stanford and the Palo Alto Caltrain station so I really can't complain - I really don't take up all that much space anyway. I should be able to figure out if I can get the space within a day or two. I think it'll be a good space for me for the moment, at least. I am efficient!
I finished Angels and Demons yesterday as well. I started reading it on the plane Thursday and I've been reading it on the train and when I've had some free time since then (Why am I always on a plane or a fast train? Oh, what a world...). I don't recall if I mentioned that I read Deception Point last week when I was out here but now that I've read three Dan Brown books, predicting the outcome of any given situation in his books is not a difficult task. I enjoy the interesting facts and the suspense but by no means do they challenge how you perceive something and I really enjoy a good book that challenges my ways of thinking. I'm probably in the wrong genre for this kind of thing.

Anyway, back to where I started, I'm really excited for my first day or work tomorrow. Getting there from Piedmont via public transportation (partially, at least) is going to be an adventure but I shall survive. Thanks to everyone who wished me well in work and life, I'm really enjoying the area and I think things are going to be really great!
