(no subject)
been in miami for 5 days now...
it looks just like puerto rico in a lot of places, except with wider streets and somewhat cleaner overall
i went to south beach at night briefly and got to drive by all those famous hotels and shops
a few days ago i was not very excited about the change...driving around with a family friend, her daughter, and my family doing a bit of sightseeing and thinking how these would be my last days with them
i was quiet and just sort of overwhelmed
i did early check in and so all my junk is scattered in drawers, in my spacious closet (yay), on my desk, and under my bouncy bed
i rearranged my furniture a bit...my mom kept making fun of how i like having the pieces angled
i have yet to put up my numerous wall decorations etc
orientation was interesting
the students above my class that i've met so far have been friendly and welcoming
registering for classes was hell...and as of today i'm still not quite ready to start...missing 3 credits and in some random classes that i don't really need
but yeah, last day for registering and paying was yesterday
and bright futures for some reason wasn't in the fiu system
my academic advisor could have done a better job...but heck...
my parents and sisters are right now probably about halfway home
i haven't cried yet ...just waiting for it now
i'm staying at a friend's house for a few days before i start living in my room
what else...i haven't seen the beach yet
i have eaten good cuban food though
my mind's blank
i'm just glad i don't have to adjust from living in a city where you can walk everywhere to one where you can't
i miss my tango gordiflon
