Getting the ball rolling

It seems that by now, having been here exactly one week (only a week? This feels like much longer) that I should get ye olde academic ball rolling. So I think that tonight, since there is nothing to keep me socially occupied anyways, that I will hit the books. Montreal is writhing in the back of my head, but I think she is in her death throes. There is no reason to maintain my hard-drinking lifestyle here, not to mention no way I can afford it.

Had a lovely morning, although the weather here is already starting to get to me. Its fall with a vengeance, and I can't help but remember that its thanksgiving at home. My new Canadian friend and I wandered through the science area, and I'm starting to get my bearings. She is quite lovely, so far my favourite program buddy, and I can't wait to settle into this nice little nook I'm digging for myself. I'm starting up hockey tomorrow, which I'm endlessly excited about. So much time off skates, I gaze lovingly at them and think how soon it will be. Maybe I will throw some laundry in and make my giant lunch. A domestic day followed by an academic evening.
