Settling In
It’s been a week of socializing, which for me, is probably a record. I went out Thursday with my co-TA to Sudwerk, and here I am again, blogging after a dinner at Sudwerk with more ling friends! Lewis and I met up with another grad student who lives in my office, and her husband, and we rocked the drinks and eats… so tasty. They actually had a pretty nice jazz band playing tonight as well, which was excellent though it did make it difficult to hear anyone talking. Double bonus points for us – we went out to dinner with some folks for the first time, and then we invited them over! Turns out they like games as much as we do, so we played a round of Zombie Fluxx, and then introduced them to some Cheap Ass Games (namely, Secret Tijuana Death Match). So much fun!
And to top it all off, I even got a fair amount of work done today. Here’s to being, I hope, one day away from being done with my transcription. Sigh. Too bad I have to code it after that! Tomorrow should be good though. A nice, calm Sunday, with a great week coming up! Tuesday is a holiday, so we don’t have class. Mondays have always been pretty chill. And my parents will be in town Thursday! Yay! I’m rather looking forward to much in the near future. And I’m not letting myself get too worried about the upcoming papers, though I know there’s a lot of work to be done…
For now, lets just call this much Saturday success!
