First Day of Work

And so far it's been pretty easy. Then again I've only been here for 30 minutes. To tell truth I really don't have much of an idea what to do. Hopefully this is the norm (everyone says it is but I worry, prolly rather pointlessly) for the semester. It's kind of funny because at the moment I don't really have any homework I need to do so I am rather bored. And I am just enough nervous about first day of work that I can't really focus in on my book. Granted it would help if the book moved a little faster. Robert Jordan can really drag things out at times.

Apartment life has been pretty good thus far, need to actually probably cook some food at some point. I have been surviving off soup and sandwhiches plus so fruits and veggies on the side but aside from nuking the soup (that's microwaving if you're not familiar) I haven't actually cooked anything. Have to motivate myself to do that work. Plus I should just make up a bunch of sandwhiches and put them in the freezer. That way I won't raid them early.

Chi Alpha tonight. First night of that although I have spent a lot of time with Lars, Brent, Seth, and Squirrel in the past week or so. I am looking forward to that tho even if I have to work right after it. My work schedule is kind of crazy so that'll take some getting used to.

I can't believe how packed the lab is. It's only the second day of classes. Can people have this much homework already? I think a bunch of people are printing out notes for classes. Have to keep an eye on the paper situation. Haven't a clue where they keep toner at the moment so I'll just have to pray it doesn't run out until after class Friday (when I presume they'll go over such things). It's rather surprising how little they explained going in. They tell you what you're duties are but don't really give anything beyond that. I guess after the 'Ko I figured they'd show me to some extent just to make sure you got it right the first time. After that it'd be up to you. At this point if something comes up I'll just have to intuit it (scary thought there) and hope I get it right. So for the sake of all the people in the lab and myself let's hope nothing happens eh?

Last note, people keep saying I have British accent moments. Really? Just about everything I say I thought I said the same way as prior to leaving. Wonder if the Brits really did leave something with me...
