Welcome to Waterloo

Me in the Airport, changing over my cell phone to a Waterloo number.
So I have arrived. I think.

Honestly, I've been so busy trying to get the house set up that this first week has seemed both much shorter, and incredibly long. I still feel a little like I walked through the looking glass. Still, with Rachel as Drill Sargent, I am more prepared then I could have hoped.

I have furniture for the kitchen and living room, all the dishes and small kitchen appliances, as well as all the important stuff for my bedroom. I have a decent working knowledge of Waterloo and Kitchener, and have driven to Guelph and Cambridge as well. I have a car, an Ontario licence and insurance. I have phone, Internet and TV. And I did it all with a ridiculously small budget. But at the end of five days I was almost totally settled in.

There is a lot more to the story then that and the next couple of entries will cover how I did all those things, along with the requisite loss of dignity that made it possible. There will also be photos.... it is me after all.

Settled in and online already! I will have the chess board set up and I'll expect an email with your first move.
I'll keep an eye on Colin as much as I can and report for you. Isn't it fun having an evil spy for a friend!!
Have fun in class and hope your roomies aren't too much of a pain.
