It is so exciting! I love it! And now I can go wherever I want, whenever I want!
I also snapped two nice photos of campus on a whim the other day.
It really is a very nice campus.
I gave my colloquium talk yesterday, and then I bought my car (which was a minor ordeal, involving a surprise trip to the DMV to get a PA driver's license... at least that's over now), and then I finally got home around 6:00 and just zonked out for the night. I knew I was tired, so I didn't set my alarm for this morning, and I woke up at 11:00 am, which I haven't done in, like, years. I usually can only do that when I'm sick or something. It was totally weird.
Then I ate some zucchini muffins and drank some tea, curled up on my new couch and watched a movie, and then went for a 6.5 mile run to try to tire myself out. This evening I drove out to Wegmans, everybody's favorite grocery store 'round these parts, and also stopped by a furniture store to scope out some rugs, and by Michael's to pick up some crafting stuff.
Now I'm home and I'm actually pretty tired, so the longer-than-usual run (and the pumpkin beer I picked up tonight) must have done their job. I might watch another movie! And then bright and early tomorrow morning, I'm heading out to see Falling Water, the famous Frank Lloyd Wright house in southwestern PA, with my neighbor and fellow language researcher at PSU.
Man, today feels really good. Things are good.
