U.S. Citizenship

Tweet

Yesterday (11.08.11), on Election Day, I became a U.S. citizen! For a political buff like me, that is pretty neat.

I may be the only person excited about jury duty, and of course I can't wait to vote! We've always sent an absentee ballot back to Canada to vote.

Apparently, the NJ office is one of only three in the country where you can have your interview and oath on the same day... which meant it was a LONG day! I left home at 8 AM and didn't get back until 5 PM. The interview portion of the day lasted probably less than five minutes (and this includes all the form signing), so it's just the logistics of it that makes the wait so long.

Before they quiz you on the U.S. history/government, they have you read and write a sentence in English. I had to read the sentence "Where does the President live?" and write "The President lives in the White House".

The questions I was asked pertaining to U.S. history/government were:

1. What is the "rule of law"?
2. Who is the Governor of your state?
3. What movement tried to end racial discrimination?
4. Where is the Statue of Liberty?
5. Who was the first President?
6. Name two national U.S. holidays.

Piece of cake!

Last year on Election Day, I got the iPhone 4. This year, I became a citizen. I wonder what will happen next year!

Blogger App

I am not sure when it happened, but Blogger finally has an app for the iPhone!

Maybe (probably not) it is just what I need to start blogging more frequently again.

From time to time, I used to continuously check to see if Blogger came out with an official app, and then gave up on it. Much to my surprise tonight, as I was searching through apps on my iPhone, I found the Blogger app!

I just installed it and am actually using the app to write out this post to test it out.

Settling into the New House

Tweet

We moved this past Sunday, and are slowly and finally settling into our new house.

The last month and a half have been insanely busy with all of the renovations our new house needed amongst the packing (and now finally unpacking).

We pretty much packed the whole house in two days -- and that worked out for the best. I'd rather do it all at once and be tired for a few days than slowly pack over a longer course of time and spread the exhaustion for even that much longer.

It's unbelievable to see how the house looks now, compared to how it was when we first it two years ago (or even how it looked a month and a half ago before any of the renovations began). It doesn't even seem like it's the same house. Waiting impatiently for the past two years paid off :).

I've got a few thoughts/posts in mind to write up when time allows (and I have wireless internet connection again at home - writing up a blog post from my iPhone isn't as easy in comparison) in the next few days. A few of these posts will involve the horrible customer service we've experienced lately that has left me astonished.

iPhone

Faraz is moving to Canada and not planning on using his iPhone there, which means that I have his iPhone until I'm eligible to upgrade to the newer iPhone. and he has my LG Vu.

Undoubtedly, it's a one sided win for me! :) :)

Read my horror story with the LG Vu here and here.

What applications do you guys recommend for the iPhone?
