Here I Am, My New Life

So if you've read my old blog Philly Girl In A LA World, then you know I no longer am living in Los Angeles. I packed up my bags, went home for a little while, and moved myself out to the US Virgin Islands. I am now living on the island of St. Croix, 27 miles across and 8 miles wide, in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. I am absolutely loving it. I am currently living in a condo by myself temporarily provided by my company driving in a Ford Focus also temporarily provided. Over the next two weeks I will be moving into a condo with my best friend Suzzy as a relatively permanent life set-up. I'm also car shopping, and I found a couple of Jeep Wranglers that I'm pretty interested in. I really want a SUV type car, because the roads here are rough, and I really want a jeep because I've always wanted one.

I work for the big bad oil company, but I really do love it. I am a hydroprocessing engineer, and it is really exciting. The learning curve is steep, but the environment is fast paced and non-stop. My coworkers are really cool too. They're easy to get along with and work with, and everyone seems really willing to help me get into the groove of things. Outside of work, everyone is a lot of fun. The people are so nice and welcoming, that I don't feel out of place.

All in all, I'm really going to like it here. Island life is real life now. I am here for a while now, and I am really excited to see what happens. We'll see what happens now.
