Happy short week, everybody! I had a wonderful long weekend in Nashville with my friend Katie. We went shopping, made pizza, grilled out, went to a free concert in the park and assembled a TV stand. All in all, I'd say it was a wonderful way to celebrate not being able to wear white pants anymore.
I'm still slowly and more slowly getting settled into the new apartment. There's still one "junk box" left, but hopefully professors will still be on break-mode and not assign too much so I can take care of that last pesky box this week.
Brian and I did some family pictures last week...er, two weeks ago? So I hope to have those on the Facebook page relatively soon, but judging by the fact that the pictures from the August 6th wedding aren't finished yet, it may be a while. I'm just excited because I know we got some really good stuff.
The first week of school wasn't too bad, all in all, but it already feels like it's been a month. I guess that's what we get for starting so late in August. And what I get for staying here ALL. SUMMER. LONG.
Since I decided to take my cat home, I've been conspiring ways to get him back and not have to pay out of pocket. I think I found the best way possible—WellU. Brian and I did this program last semester, so I'm pretty familiar with it and quite confident that I WILL succeed. It's basically a way to get you to work out and use the gym facilities, and they reward you with prizes. If you're one of the first to complete the program, you get to pick your prize. My goal is to be first and to reserve a $500 scholarship that I will then put toward my cat's rent. It's really hard to imagine paying $1/day for my cat to breathe Walk2Campus's air, but I really miss the little guy. Seriously. I'm the old cat lady.
Not too much else has happened, other than they painted the outside of our apartment building orange and painted the trim, doors, shutters and whatnot in dark green. I seriously live inside a pumpkin. I hope it's a seasonal thing, but I'm kind of scared to see what the St. Patrick's Day paint will look like. But it is fun to tell people I live in the pumpkin. It's even funnier when they know what I'm referencing.
Oh! Oh! I almost forgot! Since I now work for the campus newspaper, I take an unnatural amount of pride in seeing the articles I edited go through to print. Mostly I'm just a big nerd, but still. Check out the website!
I think that really does sum up current events. I have nothing else to meow about for now.
