Move-in Day to Newport, RI

So I moved to Newport today. Pretty crappy day though cuz it was raining the whole drive down and while I was moving in. The rain has subsided though, its just misting now, but even still, weather sucks. My apartment is actually quite large. I am the only one in it for the first 2 or 3 weeks, which will make it quite lonely. There is a living room, eating area, kitchen, bathroom, and three bedrooms that hold 5 people total. There is no internet, no cable, and no roommates as of now, so its boring there. I moved all my stuff in and headed out (in the car, not the bike) and wandered around, trying to find my way to and from the restaurant and trying to find an internet cafe. I found a Panera and was able to find a parking space (free parking until April 30th, sweet!!).
As i was walking to Panera though, I looked at all the shops, and its very dangerous here! So many cute shops but I'm sure they are expensive.
I brought my bike too, so tomorrow I'll be riding around to get used to the town (its also much easier to get around that way because there are lots of one way roads and traffic gets pretty bad come summertime).
As for move in day, my chef told me to just hang around and he wanted me to stop into the restaurant tonight (he's gonna feed me, haha).
Tomorrow I am going in to the restaurant around noon to fill out papers, do orientation, and just chat with the chef (probably about goals and stuff). After that, I have the whole rest of the day.
Tuesday I have off, which is excellent. I'll be using that to bike around and go window shopping, read, cut out recipes from magazines, most likely come to Panera (my internet source).

I am SOOO excited to be here!!! Im gonna try to write pretty frequently.
