I'm a reader, not a writer

and a listener, not a talker.

Had my first actual day of class! It's pretty awesome so far. Wednesdays will be my environmental health days. I have intro to EH for an hour and a half, and The Built Environment for basically 3 hours. Intro class seems pretty good. We have weekly on-line exams instead of exams, so far so good. And Built Enviro seems pretty awesome as well. The prof is super into the topic, but not so much that he tries to teach too much info. The readings for class are pretty short because he didn't want for us to pay too much! I'm happy with that :)

I'm still waiting for my bed and desk to be delivered. Geez! Stupid Ikea Home Direct On-line shopping takes forever! And they don't warn you that it can take so long. More like Ikea Home-Direct-through-every-state-on-the-way-to-yours-from-Sweden On-line shopping. Oh well. Luckily I have a good friend like Ricky to loan me his air matress. Otherwise things are pretty much settled in the new apt. I really like it :) However, I'm probably going to be known in the building as the "cat girl."

I made chicken for dinner Friday night, and while I was cooking I heard a cat meowing. I realized it was coming from the back hallway, and opened the door. A really cute, skinny, black and white cat was there and tried to come into my apt. Unfortunately, I couldn't let the little guy in because Abbey and I are both really allergic. Since he didn't have a collar on, I decided to knock on all the neighbor's doors to see if he belonged to them or if they knew who he belonged to. So I did. And everyone was home. Luckily there are only 3 other apts in the building. Anyway, I talked to everyone and only one other person could hear the meowing. Everyone else looked at me like I was a crazy person. Well, at least I tried to figure out the situation. I haven't heard from the cat since then.

Last year it was a dead bat, this year it's a live cat. I wonder what kind of animal will be in my next apartment.
