I'm here

So, got into OKC Wednesday night around 6:30.  Met Micah and Kyle and from the get go they have been super hospitable and so welcoming.  Micah even invited me to go see Indiana Jones 4 with them that night, we went to dinner, and went to coffee Thursday morning.  It's just been a really good starting experience.  He also helped me move in stuff and cleaned some things out that way I could put my stuff in the house.  Super legit dude.

The past 2 days I've also been driving around picking up applications as well as turning in resumes to various retail outfits.  So far, I've applied to PacSun, American Eagle, Journey's, Shoe Gypsy, and will have to go back Monday to apply at a place called Blue7.  I'm really hoping that the Shoe Gypsy or Blue7 jobs will work out because they are a lot cooler places and seem to have a better vibe than any of the stores in the mall; however, the manager at American Eagle basically said she would hire me right away but she will have to wait for a week or two to train me.  So, that still gives me time to hopefully make an impact on the other stores by that time.  We'll see.  I know that sounds super snobby of me not to work at American Eagle, but I don't shop there, I really don't look like an American Eagle employ, and I'm not sure what the environments going to be like. 

Anyway, Micah left last night to go to Kansas and Kyle is leaving this evening to go back home to Missouri.  So, I have the house to myself this evening and tomorrow.  I'm not super sure what I'm going to do with my time.  I think I might read some more: The Road - Cormac McCarthy + Surprised By Hope - N.T. Wright.  And I think I may practice a little guitar and maybe try to write something.  Those sound like pretty good projects.  

So, that's a very small amount of what has gone on over the past couple of days.
