So I have decided that Saturdays are the toughest for a new area. That tended to be the day that we hung out with people back home, or randomly had someone over to hang out, play cards, feed lots of yummy food to... and out here we still don't really have friends. Acquaintances, yes, potential friends, sure, but like "Hey, let's do a thing with little notice" not yet.
It's another drizzly day today, and looks like it will be for most of next week. Our bike ride yesterday didn't happen, but may happen later today if it clears up. We were told about this pretty cool App called Dark Sky that is pretty cool and fairly accurate at predicting rain start and stop times, as well as other info.
Our rent got pushed back a little, which is nice. I logged in to pay online yesterday and found contradictory information on what was due/owed/credited so we went in to the front desk to find out. Asked about a possible comp since we still have holes in our walls and no specific date to expect them to be fixed, etc, so when we get paid our first checks will be when we also pay rent, which is nice.
Other than that, things are starting to fall into a nice pattern. My students are funny little creatures that don't know quite what to make of me yet. I think next week will be good since that will be our first string of real discussions based on reading material.
I still didn't make it to the casual M:tG night. This last Thursday was a football game, and my colleague let me know that starting around 4PM I want to avoid areas near the school. Alumni. Parents. Drunk freshmen everywhere. I took the advice to heart and just headed home after work, so maybe next week. I stuck up a notice about a week or two ago at the gaming shop to see about some possible RPG groups. So far no hits.
I think today I will update my CV and possibly work on PhD Apps (as well as play video games, but duh).
