My summer officially comes to an end on Monday. I will begin working in San Jose bright and early at 8:30am, which means I have to leave even earlier for my first commute into the city. I am half-excited, half-nervous about it. Starting a new job is always an interesting process, but it is a different feeling when it is your career. It is the beginning of yet another chapter in my life. It will be nice to finally put all the things I learned in school to good use.

This week prior to starting work has been very eventful. Cale surprised me by getting me tickets to the Michael Buble concert this Saturday, so we rode the BART into San Francisco to pick them up. We are also looking forward to finally getting our sod put in tomorrow. I already scheduled a grooming appointment for the dogs. I am excited to finally have a pair of clean dogs. Then Sunday I am going to spend the day doing major cleaning. The dirt outside has destroyed the house, so I look forward to taking my house back into the state I prefer it to be in: spotless. We have a busy weekend ahead of us, but I hope the work I do this weekend makes my workweek more bearable.
