Settling In

So, I've been running about, getting keys, setting up insurance, arranging my apartment to be livable, and all sorts of things. I've mostly been doing my required reading at home so that I could simultaneously talk on the phone to official people, and unpack, and other things.  As a consequence,  I have felt a distinct lack of human interaction. I get a little of course, but mostly in the business transaction sense, rather than the chatting sense. Tomorrow I plan to spend much of the day in the graduate student office on campus, at my desk. Hopefully, this will help me get to know people, as well as keeping me on track with the things I am supposed to be reading, rather than getting distracted by non-relevant articles and out-dated news.

While I enjoy having my own apartment for a number of reasons, I do miss the companionship of roommate-hood, and the silence can at times be deafening.  The silver lining is that I'm rediscovering all of the music I have loaded onto my iTunes. I hope the my music isn't bugging the neighbors, but no one has complained yet.

BUT feel free to shoot me an email, call, or text if you haven't heard from me in a while, because I really want to stay in contact with everybody!

Ta ta, for now.
