My first project at work is to build a servlet container like Tomcat! At least I have a group of 4 other new hires to help out. 

Also, I finally found an apartment. It's in a quiet neighborhood off of Hardy street, which is probably the largest street with almost all of the restaurants in  the city.  It has a backdoor with a small porch (very small) and 2 bedrooms upstairs! It also includes a washer and dryer, but they're in the kitchen. I already know I'm going to need more furniture b/c there's going to be a lot of empty space.

I haven't found much else to do here yet though.  I'm thinking about buying a bicycle and riding around like I used to do in Birmingham (before my bike was stolen!)

Now that I'm getting almost $2000 a month, I have to REALLY control my spending urge, especially on a laptop. But I really need one...right now I'm using my roommate's laptop.  I think I'm going to buy a laptop before I even buy furniture for my apartment; besides the realty company is repainting it and I can't move in until July 15, so I can't buy furniture right now.

What else do I "need" to buy?

I got blisters yesterday while playing basketball with JM (my cousin) and his friends. It hurts to walk.
