Changin' the Scene

I had to wait for a little while to start writing my blogs this week because I have been in the middle of that little phase called "moving." Arriving in Eugene is always a relief but then after a short while I begin to remember that I have to move into a new house and get everything out from the old house. It's never fun but it has to be done and is all worth it when it is over.

A ton has been moved already but we aren't done yet. My roommate Peter made his way into town a few days ago so we decided to get a move on and make a mark in everything that needed to be moved. He went and got a big U Haul truck and we started in. We went with the big stuff first, taking out all of the beds and large furniture. The beds were the worst part because mattresses are heavy and require two people to move them.

From there we moved all of the furniture and started making our way to the kitchen. The truck was getting pretty full so we decided to make a run to the new house. It is always a strange feeling moving into a new house that is completely empty. It's a little unwelcoming at first but you get used to it after you bring in all of your belongings that make the place feel like home.

We made run after run with a full truck and finally at around 6 p.m. we decided to call it a day. I for one was exhausted and I had all of my necessities in the new house. There are two of us that still have yet to move out before our lease ends so hopefully that will happen this week.

One crummy thing about a new house is that when you first get there you probably won't have any cable or internet. I just got the cable figured out this morning but I have no idea where I am going to go to send these blogs in. Our old apartment doesn't have it anymore so it looks like I may have to hit Starbucks.

I have been spending a good portion of my time lately trying to learn everything I need to learn in the athletic department. I have spent a lot of time in the office trying to become acquainted with everything and get some hours in. The first football game of the season is on Saturday so I am trying to make sure that I know exactly what I am supposed to be doing. This new job has made me realize how much time really does fly by. When I found out I was going to be doing this last spring term the first game seemed so far away. Now, here I am in September and the first game is only days away.

It should be a great time and I can't wait to be on the field.
