Finally back

So I'm finally back to Abilene. It was great to get back home and see friends for a few days, and I wish I could have had longer at home, but I was eager to get here as well. This has been an emotionally draining summer and I'm tired of saying goodbye to people, so now it's good to be at my final destination. I suppose from here on out I'll be eagerly counting down the days until school.

I have a fairly confusing housing situation here. I arrived at the house I'm staying in with 5 other guys and walked in to find only 1 person lounging about. I looked around for where I was to sleep and realized that I didn't have a bed here. Supposedly we're going to get a mattress in the next few days for me to use, but I'm actually thinking about moving into my apartment early. I don't really want to deal with the rowdy, late night, no AC atmosphere here for $200 a month when I could more easily settle into my own place and get settled for the year. I'm going to go talk to the housing people tomorrow about the idea.

Tomorrow I start work at 8, but I don't really know exactly what I'm doing. I asked Dean Barnard where I should go for my first day, and he told me to just spend the rest of this week in my SA office working on whatever I need to do to get situated for the rest of the summer. I guess I'll get started on some of the projects I've been putting off. It is now time for my summer to end. It's a shame... I don't feel like it's begun yet...
