Fresh Start...New Beginnings

So I'm going to give blogging another shot. I think I got discouraged my last round of blogging because I felt like I was the only one reading it. Who knows, maybe I will be this round too but now it doesn't really matter to me. I'm really good at talking about things and my emotions, but I'm not so good at actually showing my emotions. I'm hoping this blog will help me to express my true emotions.
So about 2 and a half weeks ago I packed up my stuff and moved down to South Carolina. I thought that once I got down here, everything would just fall into place and my life would just make sense...The move itself, to my surprise, went really well. I was so glad that my dad and his girlfriend were able to go with me and help out as much as they did. Up until that point, I'd been pretty calm about uprooting myself and hadn't really gotten emotional; after they left for good a wave of sadness went over me. I just felt 100% alone in the world. I really miss my friends and family. I know I haven't been here for very long so I really am trying to give myself time to adjust to this new setting. I'm also frustrated because I don't have a job yet. This is the longest I've been without having a job in like 7 or 8 years, and it's killing me. I have an interview next week and a job I just applied for that I really really want; so I'm praying that something will work out. In other news, grad school is not what I expected. I still feel like I'm in undergrad except that I'm not at Purdue :( I thought that once you were in grad school, you wouldn't have to do any general theory introduction; I thought that information is stuff you already learned or should have learned at least. Switching topics, I've been looking for a church to get involved with since I've been here, and none of the ones I've been looking into feel like the right fit. This is really discouraging me. I had really been growing in my faith and I just keep waiting for that sign/signal from God telling me that this is THE church for me. I feel like I'm at a plateau (if that's even possible in this subject) right now.
