Moving in

I know I promised pictures, but my camera is packed away in a box somewhere and has yet to be discovered.  I'm almost completely moved.  I've got some dirty dishes, breakables, dirty laundry and my futon left.  I plan on hanging out at my old place and doing laundry and dishes while doing homework tomorrow.  It sounds like a plan.  As for my new place.  I still need to buy some sort of a dresser, and more chairs.  My bookshelf won't get there until sometime next week, probably Wednesday, and my desk should be delivered on Friday.  Other than that, my stuff's all there.  The only problem is the heating.  It was about 63 when I woke up this morning.  As I've been keeping my apt at 83 to save on AC, it was REALLY cold.  I have to call tomorrow to get them to turn on the heating.  I also need to call to get the gas turned on.  I have  suspicion that my water heater is run by gas instead of electricity because it's definitely not working.  Shower was quite cold last night.

As for other news.... I'm pretty sure that "date" I went on today wasn't a date.  At least it didn't feel like one.  It felt more like hanging out with my brother, Shawn.  I really hope he didn't think it was a date, because there's just nothing there.  Purely platonic.  Also, the guy that I've liked since I got here is no longer dating that girl, and hasn't been for a while.  He's really starting to flirt with me a lot, but I'm not sure if it's just a friendly flirting and him joking around or what.  It's super frustrating.  I ended up ranting about it to my friend Eric last night.  He even though something was going on between me and Tyler, and Eric and I don't hang out that much for him to catch on to things that aren't obvious.  Grrr...  Why are boys so complicated?

Ok. Class.  Let's see.... Not too much to report since midterms.  We haven't even had any homework due yet.  Oh wait.  That's not true.  I had all three homework assignments due last thursday.  I guess I just blocked that unpleasant experience.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any work done since Thursday because of moving.  Oh well.  I'm about to start on the homework that's due this Thursday.

As for friends, I made a new friend, and got involved in the graduate Christian fellowship.  Her name's Gabrielle, she's a fellow student's wife.  Her and I get a long so well!  We met on Thursday at dinner, and ended up hugging afterward because we just fit.  I can tell we're going to be great friends.  I'm going to church with her and her husband next Sunday.  Their church sounds exactly like what I've been looking for.

All right.  Time to quit procrastinating and do some homework!

Halloween and other goodies.

Well, I never made it to Rocky Horror.  The add online said it was at 11pm, but when we got there it said 8pm. Lame.  But we went to the Optical Sciences party instead.  It was about the perfect size party.  Nothing special, but good to meet some new people.  The party at Ellie's on Monday was very low key.  There was only one trick-or-treater.  So, we ate a lot of candy. We played a new game called Dominion.  Well, it's not new.  It's just new to me.  It was pretty interesting.  I think I could get hooked.  I don't have too many good pictures.  My camera isn't the best, and the lighting at Ellie's kinda sucks.  But here's what I got.

Yes Pistachio was the Flash.  I thought it was quite fitting.  Though credit for the idea must go to my friend Melissa.

Here's the three of us that dressed up.  Ellie is on the left.  She made that dress in high school!  How cool.  Tyler's supposed to be the Hubble Telescope.  Yeah.  I have nerdy friends.  I have gorgeous makeup on, but no one will ever know.  I did my makeup like Twiggy.  It was awesome.

As for other news, I am moving in tomorrow at 10am.  At least, that's when I do the inspection.  Then I sign contracts and pay first month's rent!  So exciting.  I already packed my car!  I'm not really sure what to do with some of my stuff.  I think I'm going to end up donating my bedding.  I'm moving up in the world to a full size bed.  I'm pretty sure I'm old enough for that now. haha.  I found really pretty purplish bedding.  I'm excited.  Also, I'm officially getting rid of a few pairs of fat pants.  I have lost about 15lbs so far despite the month that I'm not allowed to lift more than 10lbs and being bed ridden from the appendix for about a week.  And I fit into my skinny pants.  I'm still working on the really skinny pants, but those will still take a while yet.  But perfect time for swimsuit season!  Oh wait....  perfect time for sweater season?  Is there a sweater season in Tucson?  To tell the truth I've gotten super used to the weather.  I've been wearing jeans if the high's only 80.  That's cold here!

Well, the plan is to take pics of my current place soon, and then my new place when it's all set up.  There will be a lot more pics of the new place just because it actually has rooms!
