Home Sweet Home

So here I am, finally.  All moved in, lounging around my apartment, and waiting for orientation on Monday.  It's kind of crazy, really.  I went to health services today to give some immunization records, and I also had blood drawn for a Hep B titer.  Hopefully I'm still immune.  FutureACNP and I met a nursing student there!  She just finished her first year, and she's in Women's Health specialty, too.  She gave us some tips (i.e. which books NOT to buy), and it was nice meeting her.
Last night we met up with a group downtown and spent a few hours chatting and drinking.  I met some fabulous people, including two other girls in my specialty!  It's so amazing how we all come from such diverse backgrounds.  I am going to learn a lot this year.
I'm still getting used to the city (and it's steep property taxes).  I need to figure out which areas are safe to walk to, which places are close enough to walk to, where the closest mailbox is, things like that.  On my list of things to do by the end of next week are:
--pay my taxes : (
--register to vote
--go to the post office
--do my online course requirement things
That's a pretty short list, I know.  My writing juices aren't really flowing right now.  I'm sure I'll update once orientation begins!
