Usage + What's Going On

This blog was originally created for a journalism class. I really liked the title of the site, so I didn't want to have to create a new one. So if you are not from OU, please excuse all the journalism stuff already on here. I hate to get rid of things, so everything is staying as-is, at least for the time being.

I'm living in College Station now. My boyfriend, Matt, is going to grad school here starting in the fall, and after a four-year, long-distance relationship, it's wonderful to actually get to see him when I want to. I commented to him the other day, "People who date in the same town have it so easy. It's weird that so few relationships work out even when living in the same city." Long-distance sure puts everything else into perspective.

It took me long enough to get Internet set up; I've been here a week or so and had nothing to distract me, so miraculously I'm already done unpacking and setting things up (although I have yet to figure out how to set up the wireless Internet thing). I pretty much love my new place, and so far I like the town well enough. I keep referring to it as "Oklahoma" on accident, though, as in, "No I don't have [item] with me, I left it in Oklahoma." It will just take a little while to get readjusted.

My sister came to town last night. She is going to help me decorate my place a little today, when she wakes up. Last night was a bit of an adventure, and I learned that McDonald's is the only fast food in this town that has a drive-through that is open at 1 a.m. (Whataburger usually is too, but it was closed for renovations. Sad face.) We drove all over town trying to find some food, before settling on just getting chips and salsa at the 24-hour grocery store not 20 steps from my apartment.

What else ... learned how to play shuffleboard with some of Matt's friends at a bar called Fitzwilly's on Thursday. That was pretty fun, and my team won, even though I'd never played it before and the other team had more members. Then Friday we went back to Dallas to see my cousin graduate high school, and got to hang out with my family. Otherwise I've just been trying to turn this place into a nice place to live and hang out, and I think I've done a pretty decent job (mainly because my sister likes my apartment, and she is not a very complimentary person overall).

So this is my new life. Let the adventure begin!
