I helped organize social hour on Friday (it’s the collective responsibility of the first-years to make sure it happens each week, so we take turns), so I made a bunch of my mom’s sugar cookies, and people liked them! Yay =) I need to buy more cookie cutters, though, because I’m kinda tired of the 6 that I have now. Mostly I just made moons and stars, although I tried to include the other options in the department by making rocks/asteroids, volcanoes, and Saturn-shaped planets. My favorite part was when Mike Brown brought his ~2-year-old daughter and tried to convince her that she’d rather have a planet than a star, hehe.
Jon was also here again this weekend, and signed a lease! So he’ll be back in a couple of weeks to actually move into his new tiny 2-br house. It’s behind another little house on the same property, and it has it’s own little yard and garage and citrus trees (!). It didn’t come with a fridge or an oven/stove, however. Yesterday my aunt and uncle dropped off a free fridge they got from their neighbor and we had a fun time trying to get it through the narrow door to the kitchen. In the end, the doors had to come off for it to fit, and Jon got to meet most of his neighbors by asking to borrow the right tools. It was more of an adventure than I expected it to be, and it’s not over yet, since the fridge needs a major cleaning! But at least it’s a nice fridge.
Classes start in two weeks, and orientation in one. I feel like I should try extra hard this week, because soon I won’t have so much time and I’ll miss the summer.
