Acclimate

AK-luh-mayt:  v.  make or become adjusted, adapted.


    Well it was been awhile since I last posted I guess.  I have completely moved into my shared apartment.  I even bought a used couch on craigslist that my mom helped my recover.  It's a fun retro kidney bean shaped couch and we covered the back with a white textured fabric and the bottom in a black fabric with tiny white dots.  The lady who sold me the couch threw in an old coffee table which I recovered with red fabric and spray painted the legs black.  In general I had a lot of fun fixing up the living room with my mom!  I'm so excited because I have never decorated a living room before!  Now I just have to finish decorating my bed room.  The couch was $120 which is more then I really had to spend on furniture for the new apartment but my parents helped me out!  Besides, the couch was really needed...before that addition to the living room all we had was my black and white floral chair and Danielle's black office chair.  In reality that would be fine until we decided to have someone come visit!  
     So I am moved in and getting familiar with where things are here in Austin.  I know how to get to the classes I am taking at UT thanks to my life saving TomTom!  I can now get to a couple of shopping areas (not that I have money to spend), two different wal-marts, several gas stations, and many firewood stands set up all along Capital of Texas Highway!  I was planning on trying my first church on Sunday but ended up running late.  
     I have been to my first two classes here at UT.  They are both broadcast classes but the professor is actually in my class for one of them.  It's a little weird to see a video of yourself up on a tv screen at the front of the class.  The nutritional epi class is very small!  Erika and I are the only students at the Austin branch! 
     I was planning on getting my new student email set up so I could finally get on blackboard but the IT people are off today since it's a holiday.  I was planning on spending the day getting ready for class this week but I guess I will just have to enjoy the lovely sunshine instead!
