Last Day of Summer!

Perry- Castaneda Library

All that complaining I've been doing about having too much time on my hands is going to come to a sudden halt come tomorrow.
Here is what I registered for:
Organizing Information (Monday)
Intro to Preservation (Tuesday)
Intro to Research in Information Studies (Wednesday)
Intro to Information Studies (Friday)
Waitlisted: Lab Techniques for Non-Specialists

I'm still trying to remember what it's like to be a student. But let's not think about that yet.

Some things I've been up to:

The Encyclopedia Show
How do I explain? Every month they put on a show that centers around a certain topic (this month: mythical beasts), and "experts" sing/act out/read on the topic and a "fact-checker" keeps tabs on how much "fact" is being given by the "experts". "Get it?" I want to say it was comedy, but some parts were not funny. Ok, one guy who read a poem was not funny (nor was he trying to be, he choked up a little. Awkward).
I thought it was a great show. Best of all, it ended with a marching band and parade!

Including an appearance by the Austin Bike Zoo (they're on the rattlesnake). The audience got to march around the block with them. I had a moment like "I can't believe this is happening". We were not celebrating anything. It wasn't even a Friday or Saturday night. This is the kind of thing that just happens on a Thursday night in Austin.

And Meagan put on another Crafternoon, this one titled Camp Craft

I made my first God's Eye, which Meagan is displaying in her right hand. She made the one around her neck. The Friendship Bracelet station took up the rest of my time.

There was also a rock painting station. I skipped out on this one in order to not embarrass myself next to these works of art. Meagan's good friend, Ashley made cupcakes with fortunes in them for the occasion. It was a really crafty crew that showed up.

Probably not important, but I just got my hair cut by Francoise, the cutest Parisian who owns a little hair shop in a Mother-in-Law in the back of a mansion. I will never go anywhere else. If any of you visit, make sure you're in need of a haircut so I can take you there.

So back to thinking about school. I met a lot of really nice people at orientation and I already have a trivia partner (29/50 and we won "Funniest Team Name". Not bad for only two people, eh?). I didn't meet my advisor because she was out at a conference, so I will probably swing by to see her this week. And I've been applying to jobs (still unemployed). I just found out that if I work on campus, I get a tuition waiver so that I only pay in-state tuition. Cross your fingers that I get one!

I just finished this dress to wear my first day:

That's all that I can think of for now, just wanted to send out a bit of an update after my most eventful week in awhile. I will try to post another one this weekend.
