An overdue update
Sep. 6th, 2007 01:45 am-PolyCamp happened. It went very well, possibly better than I expected. I am excited about what will happen next year.
-I met with the prof I'm going to do research for. I'm excited. She's also my faculty advisor. I like her, and I like the research we're going to be doing together. I'm meeting with her again today at 1 to fill out forms and get me formally employed. She also might sign off on my course selection form.
-I also am no longer terribly worried about finances. I'm poor but not as poor as when I was on EI. Why? Because my summer obligations only take up six weeks in spite of the long summer. I'll be able to work fulltime if I can find said work, and that will make a huge difference to the finances.
-Today was orientation for school. It was a marathon day of schmoozing and networking and getting to know a million billion strangers.
-Tonight there was a showing of the second Fantastic Four movie outside on the "quad." It was okay. They had an anagram contest beforehand and I won a calculator/french-english electronic dictionary. This loser frat boy type was like, "Dude, how is that possible? How can she figure it out when only half of it is out there?" I muttered to myself, "Because I'm not drunk like you." I suppose that's a kinder belief than, "Because I'm not mentally deficient like you."
-I have OSAP, and my scholarship should come through by the middle of the month.
-I have my student ID, a student email address, and I've registered with the athletic centre, which means I can start working out tomorrow!
-There are a ton of mini fitness classes next week which I plan to attend, since they are free (each is 30 minutes, and the one I definitely don't want to miss is belly dancing, but there's also pilates, yoga, power yoga, hip hop, jazz, and more).
-There's a million little bits of administrivia to take care of, but I seem to be making steady progress on those.
-Meanwhile,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darkestembrace and I have launched our new housemate search and gotten several very favourable responses already.
-And I've been working hard to organize and clear out my hard drive on the old laptop so that I can transfer files over to the new one, wipe this drive, and sell it.
-Once I've done that, I can re-assess what I need to turn my bedroom into a good workspace
-Since we have housemate interviews tomorrow night, I have to clean the living room.
-I'm also missing my meds, so I need to tear the apartment apart to find them, unless DE grabbed them by mistake (I found her meds in my purse when I reached in to take my own out, so this is a real possibility).
( a quick todo )
I did notice that there's no pagan student group. There's also no poly student group, but that's not so surprising.
By and large, I'm on an even keel. I'm becoming closer with some really wonderful friends, renewing bonds with existing friends. I'm excited about going back to school, and most of the time the excitement overrules the anxiety. I'm also hopeful and optimistic about my housing situation and finances. In short, I hope.
Anyway, my task just now is to go to sleep. It's well past this cabbit's bedtime!
