Day 1

I arrived in New Jersey yesterday!!!! I had a six flags employee pick me up at the airport which was a true blessing! I thought I was going to end up taking a train and two buses just to get here. New Jersey looks a lot like Kentucky, and it reminds me that the only thing that makes it different are the man made lines making them different states.

I was a little shocked when I got here. Housing was not what I expected but with a few homy touches it has warmed right up. Ive taken some pictures and will try to get them posted soon. The park is amazing and huge. I haven't gotten the chance to go in yet but there is a killer roller coaster right outside my window. The closest store to me is a convenient store called WaWa which is located 2 miles down the road. If I want to shop or anything I have to take a bus to Walmart or the mall. I'm so excited. I do not have wireless and am sharing 3 computers with 400 international students, so I may not get to post every day. Hopefully when I start working on Tuesday I will have my own computer from which I can write.

I found out an interesting fact...It is illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey. SO when you pull up to a gas station you have to stay in your car while someone else pumps your gas. I think it is strange.

I do not have roommates yet, but I have heard the place fills up fast. I have also already locked myself out of my house! yay go katie! lol. Other than that I am taking the bus to Walmart today, and hopefully that goes well. I feel like I am being forced to grow up a little more and be totally self sufficient, should be an interesting summer!
