Work doesn't officially start till next Monday, so I've been pottering about the house being all housewifey and heading out to wander, somewhat aimlessly, but very enjoyably so.

Headed to school for a behavioral experiment, then went off to the bookstore to worm myself in a corner. I guess passing the hours like this can seem extremely agreeable, but I can sense restlessness creeping up on me. Obviously there are tons of stuff I could occupy myself with, but I suppose I should really use this week as a recharger before all the hectic-ness starts.

Waiting for the housemates to come home so we can set off to the frat house for the party preparations later. In all seriousness, I think that particular frat house is pretty gross, just cos there's so much random trash lying around. Thought about clearing away all the empty cans from the common room, but then I saw a roach scurrying past the kitchen door and freaked out a bit. (yeah, I know it's senseless, but I hate cockroaches. HATE. Ok, more like fear.)

So I got J to shoo the offending creature away before we all continued to marinate the meat. Seriously, I think my house in India was cleaner. :p

Random sightings:

On my way home from the bookstore, I walked past the cathedral next to our house and saw this homeless man in a tuxedo suit, sitting crossed legged on the steps and facing the large wooden doors of the church hall, snorting a cig furiously. His head was bobbing up and down and he seemed pretty out of it. So that's a whole new spin on taking it higher for the Lord.
