Day 0

So the first day went by pretty well. I got to my apartment around 3:30pm, met my roommates, dumped my stuff in the room and started making phone calls home. The apartments (Hereby referred to as the “Axton”) are Adobe-styled, two-level apartments. They form a U-shape, with a courtyard in the middle. The weather was great outside, but for some reason it was stuffy in the apartment.

The internet here is...touchy. It’s sluggish at best, and intermittent at worst. There are three wireless networks feeding the apartments, but they all have different names (They’re like APT-A, APT-B, and APT-C). I don’t understand why they don’t just make them all the same SSID. It would be easier to manage, and clients would just jump onto the nearest access point. My iPhone’s EDGE connection is faster and more reliable than this WiFi. But I digress...

There’s a TRADER JOE’S within walking distance. OMFG. I swung by and picked up my first round of groceries. I ended up making the hot-dog-and-potato-salad combo that TJ’s had as their demo meal of the day. All great stuff!

Star Wars is on SPIKE! All the original trilogy. Gonna wrap this up and finish watching. See you tomorrow!
