The adventure continues...

I did sleep in my car that night. It continued to rain all morning and into the early afternoon and then it got ridiculously beautiful out, as if the weather was trying to mock me. My tent was dry before I knew it. I decided to return to the campground, but instead of staying at the beach, I found a little more sheltered spot further back in the woods. I debated for a while whether or not I should pull out the tent again, but in the end I just didn't want to deal with the hassle, so once again I crashed in the back of my car. With the soft breeze coming in through the open windows, it was actually pretty comfortable.

The next day, I headed to my future home (hopefully) in an attempt to take care of some errands that I probably won't have time for once training starts. Without having time to settle in before training, I want to get as much done now as possible because I know I won't get around to it later. I was also in dire need of new reading material. I'd gotten my first mail in my P.O. Box (the information for my new car insurance), which allowed me to get that library card. I borrowed the first two books of the Twilight saga. It was about time I figured out what this hype was all about. ;)

After that, I headed to a nearby town and a cheap hotel. After a few nights of showering at the campground and crashing in the car, I wanted/needed a real shower. It felt amazing!!! You really do start to appreciate the little things when you're on the road.

The next day the good news came. My immigration paperwork had been submitted. Progress!!! I guess now all we can do is wait and hope that everything will work out. How long that'll take? Who knows! But at least it's a step in the right direction. I'm not so sure though if it'll be on time for training and that still worries me. But as long as they say yes in the end - I guess I can work out everything else.
