ok, so to sum up...

As you know, last weekend I moved into my new apartment (where unbeknownst to me, my upstairs neighbor must be an elephant and a rhino tromping around on extremely squeaky floors).

On Saturday, I grabbed my rental truck and Evelyn and I loaded it up. I met my friend Jarred on the other end and he helped me unload. I was thankful for both, but I was so worn out by the end of the day! After I dropped off Jarred, I drove directly to Denton to meet up with my friend Cathy who was holding a few things for me in her garage. We both drove back, unloaded the things and I offered to cook her dinner. (I had gone grocery shopping the night before!)
We pushed the various boxes aside and found a chair to sit on, plugged in my tv and dvd player and started a movie. While I was tooling around in my kitchen, I realized I couldn't find my chopping knives (and I still can't!). Also, I don't have any potholders, which makes taking my baked chicken out of the oven a bit difficult. I managed to make a carbonara spaghetti sauce (using a steak knife to cut the bacon, ugh!) and a salad (also used a steak knife to cut the tomatoes).
I started putting a few things away when she left and continue to still. I hope I find my knives, but it's looking pretty grim. All I have left is books and framed pictures to unpack.

Now, I also started school the same week I moved. I managed to keep up(ish) with my homework. I have two teachers who I had last quarter, so I'm already familiar with how they work. The other two teachers are pretty accommodating, too. I like all my classes even though three of the four are computer based. I am learning and becoming a little (just a little) more comfortable with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Photoshop will have to wait until hopefully next quarter.
In my Digital Illustration class, our assignment for next week is to render a photograph using Adobe Illustrator. I am choosing Elvis! I hope I do his face justice, we will see.

Well, Saturday is my housewarming party and I hope we have fun. Will you be there?
