Finding my way around Omaha...

So, I set out this morning to find out where I would be working. Here are some pics from the walk. This is the front of the house where I'm staying...
The walk to University of Nebraska Medical Center is .8 miles from my house, so it wasn't bad at all. Here's a park near where I live:


Unfortunately, the walk on Leavenworth St. isn't the prettiest. Here's a pic of the street. You can see UNMC in the background. On the way home I found a much better way with less cars and more trees.


I took this as a promising sign:

I also found a wonderful coffeeshop called Caffeine Dreams that is about a 2 minute walk from where I'll be working. Didn't see quite as many skinny jeans and keds as in Raleigh, thank God :)

On the way home, I realized that I live right beside Omaha's Eckankar Center! Which proved to me that it really is a small world.
I then stopped by the dollar store and bought some stuff for my room. Apparently the dollar store has everything you could ever want. Here are the before and after shots.

Also, here are some more pics from the house. I love the corn picture (they are still painting) :)


This afternoon I'm going to find the Old Market area, and I'm starting work tomorrow :)
