In conclusion, at long last…

I admit it: when I came to Blacksburg I was hoping to get a job in the area and stay. In fact, it was a particular job at the Radford Arsenal, doing similar work to that I was doing for the navy in Maryland. And I got it! Anyone who reads this blog probably already knows this, but I felt like it was unfinished because after a point I didn’t know how to excuse my continuing presence here without admitting that I was looking for a job, which was somewhat of a secret. But maybe now that I have worked for over a month and it seems that I may not be waking up from this dream-come-true, I can say it out loud: that I have a job and will be living in Blacksburg indefinitely. Woohoo!
