Oops...

Almost forgot I had this thing. Well, either that or I've been way too busy to do anything but what I was busy doing... We'll go with the second.

So, I'm all moved into my apartment in Pittsburgh. Well, once the rest of my stuff from Michigan gets here in September when my Aunt comes back... I knew I should have found room for my baking tote.. lol.

My best friend Gavin and my other good friend Rachael came out with me to help me move... hmm maybe if I didnt have them in there I would have fit my stuff...lol JOKING. I don't know what I would have done without you guys. Aside from helping me move, you guys also helped me keep my sanity.

Had some major issues, like loan money, as of right now, STILL NOT IN YET, which the money situation is stressing me out way too much. Then on the day of move-in and all that school stuff one needs to do before school starts had me freaking out.

First, the apartment... Both me and my roommate head up to our room, and our key cards dont work. They tell us to get them reprogramed, ask if we're sure this is the right room. We get our key cards reprogramed 3 times, and replaced, and it still doesnt work. For the next few days we had 1 master hard key for the 3 of us, and I was the keeper of the key. They finally got it fixed today. : after finally bugging them enough.

The apartment has 24/7 security guards at the door, and you need your key card to get in the buiilding, into the main parts, and into your room. Don't worry... I'm safe.

THEN we had isses with internet. They didn't tell us in the list of stuff we needed that we needed a router if we wanted wireless internet, let alone internet in general. I finally caved and bought one today, and Erin and myself set it up. Now we join the ranks of other wireless nazis in the building.

I have class on Thursday and Fridays only... with friday being my long day and having 2 classes (8-12:20, then 1-5:20). My Sanitation and Safety class is awesome. It's boring material, but Chef Hart is one of the best teachers I've seen in a while (besides Val and Carolyn, of course ). It's already Saturday and I have all my homework done for the week. I'll keep reading my San&Saf book over the week to keep it in my head, and studying my notecards for the class as well. My other class is Comp. Lit... nuff said.

I currently have 2 roommates, Shantel has one room all to herself, and Erin and I share the other room. I think our room is bigger than hers, and we also have our bathroom in our room. It's not as big as the Shannon Hall apartments, but we'll make due. Besides, we're just a block away from school.

Erin and I have quickly become friends, and have gone on a few adventures. She's an awesome roommate :) Adventures that include drive by flower pickings, and paying for someone else pizza and taking it. What, the guy at the pizza place said we could. The guys pizza we stole was named Adam... he was kinda cute. Why didn't we get his number Erin lol. (dont worry, the pizza guy was making him a new one).

One of our tiny annoyances is that every place that sells food and stuff (like Starbucks, McDonalds, etc) except the pizza places, close at 11pm every night : Even fridays and Saturdays : ... Seriously, what are college students supposed to do when they are hungry for something other than pizza at midnight while trying to study or do homework. Or a caffine upper that we need to stay awake just a little longer. Gahhh lol. *mental note... tell aunt to bring down coffee maker and coffee and filters... i need my coffee fix*

Both of them are gone back home for a few days...I hope Erin at least comes back before Wednesday, as I'll be alone all this time until then if she doesnt. And you know me, not wanting to go out and adventure by myself.

Pitt Dad will be coming over for lunch on Monday :) I'm looking forward to that. Maybe I'll see my friends Jason and/or Frank in these few days I'm by myself.

So thats the update. I'll try to keep this thing updated, unless I get busy with school things.
