The heat and getting ready for tomorrow!

..a little on this blog

first and foremost, thanks for taking the time to read...it makes my heart warm just thinking about it :)

while I understand the title is DAILY/DALEY tomato, I don't plan on updating daily...more semi-daily.  So for those of you that are all..."you have time for this", or "good luck", or "really?!?" - I am going to try to be honest with myself and do what I can when I can...this is supposed to be fun and I intend to make it like that for me (and for you if you choose to read along)!

Its HOT, like really hot in this biznatch - so hot that on the local weather station they actually recommended to use the AC, keep pets and small children out of cars, and not go outside unless necessary because too much heat can be fatal...and there are ALERTS, yeah like a "BTW - its freaking hot outside" alert...so, today I accomplished working out inside my apartment complex and watching tv via netflix (btw - the wire and lie to me are addicting).  I also got what I needed to start assignment #1 for GRAD SCHOOL!

LAME right!  I ordered the book Communication Theory via Amazon and had to stay home so that I could sign for it, and now that it came at 4:30pm in the afternoon, I get to do homework, aka reading chapter 1.  I forgot how fun work before you actually attend classes can be (sense the sarcasm?).  Tomorrow is a big day though - day 1 orientation where I get to meet my fellow cohort and the profs that will teach us the way!  Then, on Friday we get to probably slightly awkwardly have a beginning of the year potluck where the grads "can bring something on a grad student budget" (can I get a chips and soda over here!!!!) and the profs bring the real food...sig figs are welcome - meaning that Perry is going to come with me like it or not - and hopefully I will make all my friends that I will need tomorrow and Friday.

Am I nervous?  YES!  Which is why I am planning on getting to campus early (plus if I do that I can use free AC) so I can calm the nerves and act like the cool cucumber that I can be if in the right element.   A silver lining you ask?!?  Even though I am borrowing my life away to do this, I now understand why my students love financial aid :) - got the first installment today!  Just in time to pay for my slightly pricey but Iloveitbecauseitmakesmefeelsafe apartment!
