Exploring Excitement

So Sunday night I officially moved into my new home, which is a basement. It is gorgeous! I have a room with a walk-in closet, a kitchenette, and a small living room. It is so nice. I'm still working on unpacking. Here is my first confession for this post: I am still not unpacked, and in no hurry to get done anytime soon. 

Well Monday afternoon, I helped my friend H move into her new dorm. Well that was exhausting and extremely hot work, so we came to Portage and went to Coldstone Creamery. After that we went to the amazing store called World Market and after that to the mall. Confession number two: The best thing about the mall is the escalators. I love riding the escalators. It was a blast and I got a new dress.

Tuesday we explored campus. We explored our building and then went to the health center for me to get my TB test started in order to work on campus. After exploring we went grocery shopping, to sonic and back to my place to relax and watch Burlesque. I then spent the evening after H went home unpacking and then just relaxing with a glass or two of wine.

Today after unpacking all morning, I went to meet H on-campus to do some work stuff and then go to our graduate assisstantship training. It was a long boring training about safety and other such stuff. I was bored, and I already don't like their safety alert system. Compared to NMU's system, it is sub par. I am now relaxing before I take on more unpacking, making cookie dough to bake cookies tomorrow, and potentially going to Panera for dinner.

Final confession: I am so excited for tomorrow, yet nervous as well. I am meeting classmates and having a dinner and bar hop. I'm excited to meet them, yet nervous to go out drinking with people I've never met. Luckily they have offered me a place to stay the night afterwards, so no driving back to Portage for me :)
