Rereading and all things remembering..
So I reread some of my entries on here and I had to laugh a little at all the things that happened in my life that I had forgotten about..Isn't it funny how at the time you write about something it's the most important thing on your mind ever but just a few months later you barely remember what the situation was?! Crazy stuff there.
Things in Texas are hot as ever - Still in the upper 90s every day. I have been told that if I can make it through the month of July then I have officially made it through the Texas summer. LOL! I don't think I have much choice about making it through or not. I have to work and work requires actually being outside at time during the month of July, so I guess I'll make it! I have learned to carry a water bottle with me at all time. Just walking across their campus makes you (or maybe just me) dehydrated.
I have rediscovered why I loved having a kitchen so much. Right now we have no kitchen or fridge which basically sucks because everything in the room has to be able to stay good just from sitting on the shelf. It really limits what you can have and what you can eat. During the week and during orientation it's not too bad because we all eat at the cafeteria, which mind you isn't good food, but at least it's hot food and cold drinks. The weekends however are another story. There are lots of restaurants around here that I've never heard of and want to try but I'm not going to go to a sit-down place by myself. I'm always the one who sees someone sitting alone and wants to invite them over, but I don't think I could be that person alone. How insecure is that?! *sigh* Anyways, so the weekends mean I'm on my own for food because the cafeteria is closed. This poses a two-part problem. First, it's costs lots of money to eat out even one meal a day every weekend. Second, the only other option outside of sit down restaurants is fast food, which I don't like and would rather not eat. I have yet to figure this dilemma out so if you have any suggestions pass them along. :0)
I've been thinking alot about moving back to Athens and I'm looking forward to it. Texas is nice and I'm sure if I stuck around longer, it would be more "homey" to me, but right now I'm looking forward to coming back to Athens and settling into my last year of grad school. I've been scoping out the job market just trying to see what's out there now and all the things included with job searching. I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going to limit my search to. I said to my mom when I was home "ya know I keep saying that I'm going to look from Philly on down the east coast, but really I know I'll end up back in Philly because it feels so much like home to me" I think I shocked here with that one but she was also happy because she wants me to stay at least somewhat close to home. I'll probably end up looking from Philly to Virginia for jobs and leaving it at that. What do you think? Voice your opinion!
