elanya at 06:51pm on 15/08/2006 under a&m, college station, moving, personal organization, schoolI have almost everything unpacked except for books and knicknacks. I don' have all my furniture exactly where I want it yet, which is part of the reason I'm holding off on those two things. I have all my clothes put away. Did I mention that i have two walk in closets? Yeah, that's pretty sweet, especially considering how much costuming stuff I have. Plus the space is nice for storing sewing crap.
Today I actually went to campus. For those of you who don't know, the A&M campus is *huge*. I had to jump through a couple of hoops for ISS so that I could get the blocks removed so that I could register and the department could process my fellowship and such. I have to pay my tuition before Wednesday. this will be an adventure as I've lost my red folder, probably at Dina's, and it has my checks in it. eep!
In any case, the bus route is not too painful, and there is a stop right outside my house. During the school year, buses will run every 18 min, which will be sweet. Atm they run every half hour, which is still a lot better than some other places I've lived.
After I got home, i went and got some more groceries. I forgot margarine *again* though, which was the whole point of the exercise! Well, half the point. I'll just go back - it isn't far. The round-trip experience took half an hour or so. And then, I came home and went swimming! The pool here isn't very deep - it ranges from 3 to 5 feet, but it is very nice. It isn't a standard apartment pool by any means, and as quite clean while not being painfully chlorinated. i can see myself spending lots of time there....
And now dinner and game :)
