Well for the past few days I've been doing my move from FL to CA. I flew through Chicago Ohare airport and there was really bad weather there. We had to stay on the runway for 3 hours in Miami before taking off. It was also the most turbulent flight I have ever been through. People were almost panicking, and of course I was praying the plane didn't crash . Luckily my connecting flight was also delayed, but I ended up running to catch the flight. All I had was a piece of toast for breakfast and ended up starving once I got to CA. Note to myself: never fly through Chicago again.

Everything else is going very smoothly. I've been staying at temporary housing in Santa Clara for the past few days to wait for my stuff to arrive. The temporary apartment is absolutely beautiful. The movers arrived with my stuff this morning. It took only 8 days to get from FL to CA! Incredible, I was expecting 3 weeks. I don't have a bed and will pick one up from a friend this weekend. My car is scheduled to arrive sometime next week.

Meanwhile I'm getting used to the area, and I'll also experiment with the public transportation. I need to take a written test for my CA driver's license. One thing also I found out is my Bank of America accounts can't be used at the Bank of America here. I can only do stuff online. So I basically need to open up local accounts at the BoA here. I found that quite strange. You would think that Bank of America is Bank of America everywhere, but that's not the case for CA at least.

I'll put up some pictures of my apartment soon.
