New doings

Wow, its been a while since my last update. Nothing much new to report, aside from my new housing. I moved out of Satan's Armpit and am now sharing a much nicer apartment with a friendly roommate. My room is much bigger, there is a living room, there is a kitchen, and there are no roaches! Yay no roaches! I think I killed at least one roach a day at the other wretched place...at least there were no bedbugs.

Regarding the horrible house in which I recently lived, I am actually composing a short story about it. I had hoped to start posting it for Halloween since it is a "gothic" story, but unfortunately I am not the most diligent or consistent writer. One of my friends here also writes and she (no, don't get your hopes up, she's engaged) gave me some good feedback on the first couple pages. Yeah, its sort of sucky at the moment, but it might get better. Its also the longest piece of fiction that I have ever written. Well, aside from a couple papers for Crit theory. *cough*

Also, I started taking part in the German tutorial. It's only geared toward passing the German exam, which is a translation test in which a dictionary is allowed, so I won't actually be learning how to speak German.

Here is a picture of the CMS. Astute observers will note that it was formerly the Department of Household Sciences. There is a very nice wall with stained glass windows depicting people doing householdy sciencey things like weaving.
