So We're Right Next to Canada Eh?

So I made it to the Twin Cities in one piece and my first week has gone by in a blur of memorizing 150 something airport codes around the country.  My apartment is a complete maze of dark, dingy and dimly lit halls that look like The Shining and the Mall of America is possibly the most insane place I've ever been in my life.  The best part of all of this is that I have Fridays off, which means weekends start on Thursdays ;)
