My hopes for the month of July

Well I am about to wrap up my second month here in Texas and I am adjusting nicely although this heat wave might be a little bit much but I am getting used to it. I am really loving how nice everyone is here and how much that just seem to enjoy being who they are. I thought I would mention the things that I have learned so far, things I would have done differently, and the things I want to do this month.

Things I've learned:
-If you like your job and allow it to just be a job it doesn't quite seem like work at all.
-It is just plain hot if the temp is above 85, it doesn't matter if it is 20ÂșC cooler than yesterday it is still going to be hot.
-Adjusting to a new grocery store is hard work, it takes so much longer to find simple things like pepperoni
-Living in a big city involves lots of driving, all the time.
-Trying to make friends when you don't go to class is hard work.

Things I would have done differently:
-I would have packed my title in my temporary boxes.
-I would have picked up my medical records.
-I would not have brought so much of my bathroom stuff to my temporary housing.
-I might have tried to bring a cookbook or two, trying to recreate loved recipes without them is very hard and mostly unsuccessful.
-I would have brought more small storage bins, the type you can put under the counter to hold things.

Main goals for July:
-Figure out what I want in an apartment
-Look for an apartment and hopefully get close to signing a lease (at least decide on a property)
-Spend more time with Lily
-Post on here between 4-5 times a week (hopefully not all on the same day)
-Get in touch with additional old college friends and try to expand my friend group
-Continue to set good work boundaries, not staying too late and not working more than one weekend a month.
-Get all of my healthcare stuff figured out.

I am sure there are more goals and things I wish I could change but at the moment I am really happy with life here in the Big D. I am looking forward to what is coming up next for me and how amazing it is going to be. I hope that I am able to get lots of things done around here.

Hope you are enjoying your July!
