Another Quick Update

We are now halfway through the semester. It has FLOWN by! I think I have the best room ever this year because we are all getting along really well. Happy Frank! To my elation and joy, the freshman roomie happens to be a poet! This makes me very excited and happy considering how much I love good poetry and how much I have written! I almost cried (in the screaming/yelling sense) for joy when I learned she was a poet. Do you have any idea how wonderful it is to have another soul to talk poetry with? Compare poetry, critique, discuss... rapturous! Now I just need a short story and book writer and my cup of writers joy shall be full! I have been three years without a writing kindred spirit around and I have forgotten how wonderful it is!

Classes have been insane and intense, but really good. I am enjoying all of them so far... even the ones I'm not so enthusiastic about are still interesting and practical, so I can't make any complaint.

Must run! I shall try to post longer and better about more interesting things soon!

Quickie update: Week 1

First week done. Scheduling issues arose and have been (I believe) resolved. We are all moved in, the stuff put away, the junk in storage. Life is rolling. The poor freshman stuck with me and my two loony friends is assimilating quite nicely to us and life up here in the Great White North. Well, okay, we're just south of the Great White North, but we're still north and white most of the year, so it works.

Anyway, I experienced outrageous stress levels through most of last week, but they're down now to normal working levels and I'm happy.

Anyway, just a quick update. Nothing spectacular. But at least I'm here and I posted!

First days back...

Well, I'm back at school! The first days back have been crazy trying to get moved in. I can't say we're settled yet because we can't put our luggage and stuff in storage as yet, but we're getting there. I'm getting settled in to my top bunk. I've figured out a safe way to keep my new alarm clock up here, as well as how to keep my laptop nearby with out worries about it falling and dying.

Other than that... it's all been orientation and stuff. The real grind starts tomorrow.
