I’ve spent the last week moving in and getting properly situated. I’m living in an apartment on campus, and it’s working out pretty well so far. The biggest change from living in the dorms has definitely been how much space I now have. Last year, I had to come up with clever ways of storing everything. This year, we have plenty of space and can store things with ease.
I’m living in a triple. Although it seems crowded, it’s not bad because the apartment has a living room that’s available, as well as a good-sized dining hall.
Cooking has been pretty nice. I have a meal plan from the dining hall, but I’m thinking that I won’t keep that for next quarter. We’ve already had a couple of barbecues and made other food in the meantime, and it tastes a lot better than dining hall food. However, who knows — once classes start, I’ll probably be grateful for the convenience of the dining hall.
Classes started last Thursday, and so far so good. I’m hoping to start regular updates again, but it’ll be hard to say, since so far I’ve been surprisingly busy. I’ve been trying to keep up on comments, so at least I don’t have much backlog to deal with.
Here’s to a new year!
