My Life as Toya

My transition from Jackson to Starkville has been strange.  No, it's not far at all, but I did somewhat just pack up and leave...and it's kind of hard.  However, I've had the best 3 weeks of work.  My first day consisted of getting my ID and parking pass, setting up my email, and taking care of other housekeeping things. SEE!
I'm so official all I need is a whistle!

Much of the afternoon was spent meeting Deans, department chairs, and other key contacts on campus.  Since I started on a Friday, I had a little break to mentally prepare for the following week.  Monday rolled around in the blink of an eye and my was it busy!  Meeting after meeting after meeting!  I have really been trying to take mental pictures of the people I've met because 9/10 if I see them again I'm just going to speak out of courtesty, not because I "know" them....but I'll learn!!!  I've learned so much in such a small amount of time.  I'm thankful for a supervisor that believes in me and holds me accountable.  The next few weeks will be filled with presentations, meetings, presentations, and more meetings.  It may sound like I live a crazy lifestyle, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.  God blessed me with this amazing opportunity and I'm definitely going to make the most of it. I WILL succeed :) 

I will leave you with a few pictures from the past few weeks.

1/2 of my office...by the way, it's very spacious and nice! :)

And there is reality...my home is no longer in Jackson





I feel like I have 100+ things to tell you all! My next post will be about our 2nd Annual N2Books Scholarship Banquet which was held June 16, 2012!

Until next time....
XOXO-toy
