Room and Board

I feel like there's no turning back now. I registered for summer classes at Syracuse on Tuesday morning, mailed my deposit for my studio apartment, and picked up my partially-completed health form from my doctor. I'm really glad that I got the teachers I wanted at the times I wanted.

Living on my own will be a major change for me. For the past four years, I lived on my university's campus with at least one roommate. Some of my past roommates were not that great to live with, but it was still kind of nice to have them around.

Another change will be that I have to start cooking my own meals. I lived in a dorm that did not have a kitchen, so I was never all that concerned about learning how to cook. A George Foreman grill and a toaster oven will soon become my new best friends. lol

Last week, I found out that I am going to get another scholarship, but it doesn't take into effect until the fall. I also have to fly to Kentucky in July to meet people from the scholarship organization and the other financial award recipients. Luckily, I will leave Syracuse hours after my last class for the week and come back by the end of the weekend.

All and all, I'm excited about everything that's going on. I had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with my family. We went a festival in Little Rock called Riverfest. LL Cool J performed Saturday night, so I had a little eye candy for the evening. I skipped Riverfest on Sunday to watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I was surprised by how many people didn't like the movie. I loved it.

And I digress. Now that I am a graduate student in Television/Radio/Film, I feel qualified to recommend Flixster.com to all movie lovers. It's pretty awesome. Well, I need to go to bed so that I can try to be productive tomorrow. See you later!
