and thus it begins...
So. Here I am. In my office. With a pile of papers.
Oh god so many papers.
Yesterday was my first full day here at the lab. I know that logically, 9am is NOT that early. In fact, by most normal job standards, that is kinda late. My schedule is still stabilizing though... and I'm still sleeping kinda weird. I think it's because I am used to sleeping under my sheets and comforter, even in the summer, because of the A/C at my parent's house. But we don't keep the A/C on at our apartment, so it's too warm to sleep under everything. It's throwing me off.
Anyway, lab. Showed up shortly after 9. Talked to Matt. Got a pile of papers. Then I checked my email a lot. xD I am easily distracted while paper reading, have never been very good at it really. It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that papers are all really dense. And in general my attention is easily diverted. I will go through hours on end where I will sit and read intently... but it takes a special day to get there. (or a deadline lol). So now I have a stack about 10 papers high (average paper is 12-15 pages?) in front of me. I'm going to try and get through.... 2 today.
I have my syllabus for the class I am TAing. Also have one for one of my classes. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I feel very.. unprepared for teaching in general. And it's intimidating looking at the 3Cs students and being like, oh they all are my age... and probably know more straight marine stuff than me. *deep breath*
Anyway. Apartment is awesome. (we had a watermelon "incident" last night. I will not be eating watermelon... for a while I think). I took pictures while driving to the lab yesterday morning, so I will try to post those tonight for you all to be jealous of where I get to work. =P Apartment pics... still coming. I need to figure out how I'm going to hang my poster frames.. plus I need to buy another couple for some smaller things. Also I don't own a hammer? How silly.
I took a couple NOH8 style pictures for a project over on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ontd_ai. I am going to try and post a few of my faves on here too. If you have me friended on facebook, you've already seen one of them. :D It was fun, even if it took a while to wash the marker off my face afterwards. lol.
omg providence american idol show is this weekend. I keep getting this one floor ticket to pop up on ticket master, but it's 12th row way over on the right of the first section. Which is.. not ideal. *sigh*
Okay back to reading.....

I'll just sit there and the words are all comprehensible, but they never actually get formed into thoughts. Though I also get FAR too easily distracted. Lol.

Take it! My seat for the Providence show is aaaall the way at the top and aaaaall the way to the left by the press box. But at least I'll be there. You should go! :D

I went to the Hartford show already and was in the middle section, 11th row and I just remember thinking that the sides seemed kinda far. I think I will end up taking it anyway though. xD I just wanna go again SO BAD because the first time was crazy-fun. And classes haven't started yet so I can take the day off to be silly.

Regardless of the fact that my best friend went and told me everything...I still don't 'even know what to expect when they first walk out on stage. *-*

Oh my gosh you are going to have so much fun! I went alone to the Hartford show and was super nervous that I would be awkward, but the energy was so high in the stadium that it was so easy to get swept up in it all. I don't know if you've watched concert vid/listened to the cellcast, but it doesn't even compare!

I figure I'll get used to it in time, it's only the first week after all.

Haha i got lazy last night, but pics... they are coming soon. Apartment problems are all pretty much solved. Our cable is a bit wonky, but that's not the landlord's fault, the cable company is just being a bit dumb.
