Well, as far as blogging goes, I have not kept up well. There's been quite a few posts that I could've / should've written these past few weeks. But I haven't because, by and large, it's been a bit of a clusterfuck. But, luckily, only a bit.
As a micro catch up, I'm sitting in my apartment, although there's a tiny chance I'll be moving out in the next couple
of weeks. Admittedly, it's becoming more and more tiny of a chance. But the bottom line is renting in Michigan is
ass.
This isn't a renting blog though, is it?
So... about school, the micro catch up here is that I'm registered, but wait listed for one class and can't register
for another because the school is still figuring out how to be a school apparently. More details to come.
The rest? Since I may still move, I can't get my furniture, hence I still have no furniture. The same goes for internet service. But honestly, a fucking pan and a chef's knife would be a godsend at this point. Yes, I could buy another one but: a) I don't wannna buy something shitty enough that I'd have to worry about cooking my food in and b) I don't wanna buy something good enough that I would want to use it, but then would get rid of it when I unpack my real ones - it just feels wasteful. Also, I haven't forwarded/turned-on my mail yet. And so on, and so on.
More details to come.
But but but... none of that is what matters now! No no, I had to get on tonight and write a quick post to mark
the occasion. Tomorrow, friends, marks the end of the prologue. Tomorrow, friends, is the the actual start of
the story (finally). Tomorrow, dear friends, is my first day as a graduate student.
Haha, honestly, as I type this out, I don't even remember which class it is. And, honestly, I'm too tired to go look it up.
I won't lie, I wanted to have gotten a lot more done before this point. Including catching up on some school stuff,
as well as doing some solid resting (and yes, even fixing some of the stupid blog issues). These last 2 months have
been a gigantic pain in the ass. And, though I'm not as prepared or set up as I would like to be... you know what?
I'm pretty happy anyway. Nothing's worked out as planned, but when has it ever? Who gives a shit. I'm a fucking
grad student mother fuckers!
And you know what else? Missed in the micro catch up up there, was welcoming day, which absolutely deserves it's own
post. But I've already met several interesting folks, both students and faculty (also... worth a post... being older
than faculty.
But take it all... the good, the bad, the exit, the move, the whatever... all of it, up until now, has been the prologue.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow we drop the token in the slot.
Tomorrow we put our hands on the controls, and press '1UP'.
Tomorrow the next adventure begins.
Game on.
