Bluefield

Posted on by jeanneji

I am currently sitting in a starbucks outside of Princeton, WV. Matt had his interview today at Bluefield Regional Medical Center (BRMC) and this is the nearest starbucks. We’re killing time until the resident dinner tonight; we had to check out of our hotel and this is free internet Smile with tongue out

This place is quite something. First of all, it’s an 8 hour drive into the middle of nowhere. It’s tucked away on the border of Virginia and West Virginia in the mountains. Beautiful. There are trees for miles and it’s fall so the colors are just stunning. Pictures to come.

When I first got here, I was kind of nervous. If Matt ends up here, I wasn’t sure I could be happy here because it’s so different from what I am used to. It’s very rural. There isn’t a lot going on. More nature than people. I got a chance to drive around today and there are little things to comfort me while I am here. I know for a fact that I will miss home (Oh, how I have taken KOP for granted), but this doesn’t have to be a terrible thing. There is plenty of land for Joey.

Just in driving to walmart here we cross the border into Virginia about 5 times. It’s so close to the border. I used to think there wasn’t much to do at home, but this is so much less. But even here, there are the same people from home. The lazy large people on motorized scooters, big girls who wear too little, ghetto ricers- they’re all here.

It’s growing on me. It really is. I just know it will be a huge change from what I am used to.

Holy Hell this watch is beautiful. I just came across a limited series of Star Wars watches from Seiko. This one just happens to be going for $1600 🙁 It’s mighty beautiful though.

Side note, I’m going down to the city tomorrow to visit Lenny. Joey is coming along, of course. It’s been a while since I’ve seen anyone. I’m just hoping to stop by Matt’s apt. to pick up a few things too. Maybe reminisce about the days when it was just us in there. His family is great, but I miss our alone time. I know he doesn’t see his family much, but it’s just been work and Guildwars 2. It’s one of those situations going from constant to nothing. I miss the attention. I’d like to think that I’d be better if it wasn’t such a drastic change so quick.

On the up side, he has two interviews so far! One of them is in West Virginia and the other is CALIFORNIA. We all know that I prefer California to the middle of nowhere, but we’ll take what we can get. It would just be a win for me if that’s where he chose to end up. We’ll see though. I will probably end up going with him down to WV for that interview, but it’s too costly right now to tag along to the west coast. I’m not concerned about the interviews because he’s great with them. Getting the interview was the difficult portion- he’s so charismatic and knowledgeable.

I rearranged my room, finally. It’s still somewhat cluttered, but it’s a lot cleaner than it was. I finally pulled my speakers out of the box- they’re banging. I still need to finish up some things but it is definite progress 🙂
