Tonight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I’ll turn it inside out, yeah
And floating around in ecstasy
So don’t stop me now don’t stop me
‘Cause I’m having a good time, having a good time

– Don’t Stop Me Now — Queen [Freddie Mercury]

Strangely enough, I just set this song as my alarm for tomorrow morning — which is the day that I’ll be starting my first day of work! I moved down to Evansville this past Saturday and have been spending the past week getting acclimated with my new surroundings. I definitely want to give a huge shout-out to my parents — as they helped me move my stuff from Illinois down to Indiana. I miss my friends and family a ton, but I hope I can make them proud down here!

One of the newest things that I’ve had to do is drive on a regular basis. I’ll be honest: Driving is pretty intimidating – since a car can pretty much kill people or destroy other stuff if you’re not careful . Back home, I usually go with public transportation, or walk to wherever I need to go. This time is a bit different. I have to take an expressway to get to my new work location. Which means I have to start getting used to driving a car again. I still get nervous whenever I drive, and I’ve been honked at a few times here and there (For valid reasons of course — e.g. me not checking properly before switching lanes, being hesitant, etc.) , but I’m slowly getting better, and eventually I’ll feel much more confident and safer driving moving forward (To all of the people that have honked me this past week, sorry about that!).

Evansville by itself is pretty small, and the weather has been unusually warm lately for the past few days. I’m definitely nervous and excited for tomorrow — so hopefully I make a good first impression!
