I got my driver’s license today, so once again, I am a resident of Indiana. I guess no matter how far away I go, this will always be home. I never felt like Maryland was my home. I guess it was because I was too busy with work and school to have much of a social life. I also never had any intention of staying there, so didn’t want to get too comfortable. I figured in two or three years, I would be gone. Before I knew it, it had been five. I don’t miss the place one bit, though, and feel no homesickness for my overpriced, undersized apartment, the endless suburbs, or the roads overcrowded by incompetent drivers. I imagine I will not get homesick for Monticello either, since there is nothing to do, and I don’t know anybody here.
In other news, I’m still working on getting my finances organized. It looks like if I buy the new version of Microsoft Money, I will be able to balance my checkbook from anywhere in the world. Once I get that done, I intend to sit down and really work on this website.
