Bloomington, IN

Dan and I loved Bloomington!  The city has more apartments than I have ever seen before.  We are narrowing it down to getting a town home with a washer and drier and a dish washer.  I am very excited about those amenities!

The university is gorgeous!  It was still in dead winter mode, so everything was gray, but the stone buildings are amazing!  Dan's building is known as the ugliest and tallest on campus, but at least he has a view of the beautiful buildings.  The faculty in Dan's department are extremely cordial and I'm excited for him and this position.  It is too ideal! 

The traffic is so busy on the narrow streets.  I thought since we were going out west that the streets would be wider.  Nope!  I may have to make some right-hand turns to get where I'm going since left-hand turns are almost impossible.

I still have had no luck in finding a job in Bloomington, though Columbus (1 hour away) is interested in me.  I don't think I can manage the hills in Brown County State Park though in the winter.  I will continue to wait and apply and hopefully some contacts will help me land the "perfect" job!
