I am tired. I’ve been tired ever since I got here. When I’m in a new situation and find myself not quite sure what to do, I tend to wander aimlessly or sit in my room surfing the web…and staying up late, for no reason. Yeah, I’ve got to quit the whole staying-up-late-for-no-reason thing.
Anyway, I don’t know if I’m going to meet my goal of being completely unpacked and settled before classes start tomorrow or not. It’ll be down to the wire for sure. Sadly, I think I’ll probably still have a few things (or maybe a lot) floating around looking for a place in the room when I head out to Durand (the aero/astro building) tomorrow.
Nevertheless, today was very productive, despite the fact that my advisor didn’t stick to the office hours he had posted, and thus I couldn’t meet with him. I had a yummy lunch in Tressider (the union), got some questions answered in the AA (aero/astro) department, signed up for piano lessons, auditioned for the flute ensemble, and figured out what classes I should go to tomorrow (since my advisor skipped out before I tracked him down so he could tell me what classes I should take…argh).
Tonight a group of us are checking out Breakers, an “eating club” here. It’s like a (cheaper) alternative to the dining hall, where we commit 2 hours each week to cooking or cleaning, and in return we get dinner Sunday-Friday and a key to access the fully-stocked kitchen for breakfast and lunch. I could probably fend for myself here in my apartment, but I think Breakers may be a more social way to go. We’ll see.
