Monday, August 31st
The first official day of classes being. I’ve been waiting for almost a year. A year of waiting, prepping, interviewing and, finally, I feel like I’m here. Thanks and appreciation to my parents and siblings, you’ve helped more than you’ll know.
San Diego has been welcoming and not nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be. Lovely beaches, plenty of sunshine so far. The highway system is far simpler than it looks on Google maps! Iphone and my TomTom have been a huge help.
Campus is huge, far larger than anything I’ve seen in Oregon, and I’m sad to report that SDSU’s football team does not have quite the fire that Oregon State does. Ehhh, maybe with a little time. But we have our graduate space organized and I’m excited to use my Faculty/Staff parking sticker! HA, glad I don’t have to compete with all the freshman for parking. Wheeww!
My California road trip down was great. Lots of memories with Mom, and photos to accompany those events. Disneyland next time Mom – it wouldn’t have been the same without Suzanne and Jennifer. As I remember the things we saw…the Sand Dunes, Crescent City, San Fran, Morro Bay, Berkeley, The Shattuck Hotel, Monterey Bay, the awesome aquarium and the 10 days or so in San Diego. The drive south really makes me appreciate the two and half hour airplane ride.
Thanksgiving isn’t far away, I’ll be home soon – but not too soon.
Ready – Set – Go
