First Day of School

Who ever thought that at 26 I could still talk about tomorrow as being my "first day of school"? It's such a foreign and silly concept at 26- or at least I think so. But there it is. Although, technically my first day of school is on Tuesday as all I have to do tomorrow is go look at a bike, go to a new tutor meeting at 5, workout, and do into my office and do a few hours of work. Really, that's a pretty good first day of school.

Other than that, there isn't too much going on. I made it back from Atlanta on Wednesday in one piece and not too long after I expected to make it back- I had to stop in Ft. Collins for Panera... those opportunities don't come up too often anymore- and found my netflix :) Hooray for netflix. That helped with getting over leaving Atlanta (again), and I haven't been too sad this week, or at least not any sadder than I think I should be anyway. Atlanta is a great place. I love it. Of course I'm going to be sad!

Friday I got to meet the other grad students in my program, which was nice. I feel like I'm finally starting to meet people, and last night we all (or almost all) got together at one of the other student's houses and he grilled the things we all brought, we ate, we talked. It was great to be in a situation like that- one that is super laid back, and we all just kinda got to know each other. Or rather, the previous group got to know all of us, and we got to know each other. It was fun. I think my favorite part of the evening (besides me finishing off an entire bottle of wine alone) was when they lit a fire and we had smores. Silly, I know, but there's just something about a fire- and shockingly it was cold enough that it was actually necessary. I loved it! It was fun, we all started making plans- a few of the other students know how to climb and ski so they are going to teach those of us that don't know how (yet). We'll see how this actually goes. But it should be fun.

Overall, it's been a pretty good week- even though my week was all of two days long. But things are starting to get busy, life is picking up, and we'll see where it takes me :)
