I suppose it's about time I do one of these 'updates on my life' thingies you've been asking me for, Nats so here we go. For the last two weeks I've been living in a house with 6 guys while the summer programs we belong to started and we settled into to our new housing. I loved it, had a room all to myself and my housemates were really nice
I honestly didn't want to move, but alas I had to. Yesterday I moved into the graduate housing that had been assigned to the MURF program and I noticed that I had been misinformed in the email where I asked about our sleeping arrangements. Instead of an apartment with two to three rooms and two to three people to live in them, we got an apartment with ONE room and three girls to live in it.... Not my idea of great, but my roommates seem real nice so I can't really complain much
The apartment is comfortable enough, the only down side is the one room... and its not as easy on the eyes as my last dwelling was, but that can't be helped.
On the up side, work is great. I love what I'm doing and I love my advisor. So far everyone I've asked has nothing but good things to say about her. I've been really blessed in this aspect. Caltech is beautiful; the campus grounds are just gorgeous! I'll see about taking some pictures and putting them up on DA or here or something. I've definitely fallen in love with the place... now all I have to do is apply during fall and pray
Back home, to those of you that know, things aren't so peaceful. My uncle is determined to make my mother's life impossible and I feel so incredibly powerless from here. Before I could at least listen to her in person and describe all the pain I would cause him after my hostile take-over of the world and the known universe but now... I can only talk on the phone or MSN and I can't really give her a hug or share in her pain as before so it really stinks -_- I court hearing is on the 21st and I really pray that all of this gets settled then and there...
I guess that's all for now, I'll post more details on what's up as I come up with them
Hope you are all having a great summer!!!
Ciao!
