So the second day of orientation is complete. I'm meeting my classmates, they're all nice but we're still in that "everyone is feeling everyone out" stage which is very akward for me. It's been a LONG time since I've been in this position. New everything. New Town, Classmates, School, etc.

Today we all made "Life Maps" We got huge peices of paper and were asked...

So the parents are going home tomorrow. I'm 99% moved in, the new place is pretty exciting. I'm frightened and excited all at once. Tomorrow is one of the few last free days I have until Orientation starts.

So I'm about 90% moved in. Almost unpacked all my cloths and stuff still needs to be on the wall. The highlight of my past week has been my 4 hours spent that the Hamden DMV to get my CT drivers license and car registered. Plus until yesterday my dad was here. Don't get me wrong I love my dad but being with him for...

So I'm in NYC and tonight I'll be in New Haven. I have some time to kill so I'm just chilling and watching Garden State for the umpteenth time this summer.

I'm still nervous about moving into Yankee country. Will I lose my southern accent? Has living in the south made me too soft? I guess you can call it the pre moving, pre school...

So I'm 90% packed with my stuff in Miami. Tomorrow I jet off to NYC pick up my car and I'm off to New Haven. It feels good to know that I won't be under Mom and Dad's roof anymore. Don't get me wrong but I know my limit is about 4 days. That means that I was about 60+ days overdue.

...Anyone who says Chinese food doesn't fill you up and you'll get hungry right after dinner has never had dinner with my parents and is full of shit.

Off to Canada for three weeks. I'll try my best to update while I'm away

So I have all my ten fingers and toes. I didn't get eaten by an aligator or giant Mosquitoe. It was hot (90 degrees, with major humidity) but I made it. The work wasn't that bad and the field got sprayed and the Okra got picked and shipped off to the warehouse with no complications.... and I only got bathed in pesticides once It was...

So yesterday after doing some errands I come home to more silent treatment from mom. I need to get back into shape so I put on some workout cloths and head for the door when... everything goes black in the house. The power is out. No AC in the Miami summer. No internet. My connection to the world is gone. So I go for a...
