On the eve of my first day

I found my room yesterday. I checked it out, liked it and cut them a check for $700. Today, I moved in. Tomorrow morning, I start at my first paper. I completed the orientation Friday. I don't know what they have planned for me, but I bought some reporter's notebooks and brought a fist-full of mechanical pencils. I bought a filing cabinet and some hanging files. I cooked dinner. I'm feeding myself on $50 a week. I have to. I'm only making $11.00 an hour. Tomorrow, we'll begin to find out what this state has to offer me.
