<p>…to say hello :)</p>

<p>I’ve been at ISU for a little over a month now and it’s going pretty well. Always lots and lots to do but I’m very much enjoying the work and the school. It’s still kind of a rough transition completely starting over at a new school, but everyone is very nice and we’re connecting well!</p>

<p>The class is much different than undergrad, in a good way. Much more discussion-based and actually applicable to what we’re all doing in our assistantships.</p>

<p>Going to Indianapolis this weekend to celebrate my birthday (which isn’t until Monday but I have class and work) with my mom’s best friend (and my honorary aunt). It should be fun :slight_smile: I haven’t really left campus since I got here so it will be nice to get away and take a break.</p>

<p>Hope all is well for everyone!</p>

<p>Thanks for update have a Happy Birthday :</p>

<p>Didn’t realize you had already finished undergrad! Hope you’re enjoying a new part of the country! Good luck!</p>

<p>Happy birthday, HGFM!</p>

<p>Thanks all! :)</p>

<p>Oh my goodness…very scary storm going on! Can’t remember the last time I heard thunder like this (I think I may have been in middle school)…</p>

<p>EEK! Not sure how I feel about this.</p>

<p>They have some actual real thunderstorms in the midwest (and NE and SE) compared to California. They’re pretty cool (as long as you don’t need to drive in them).</p>

<p>Up next for you pretty soon … snow!</p>

<p>HGFM - you better get used to it… tons and tons of thunder storms around there!! Just stay inside and you’ll be fine. :)</p>

<p>GladGradDad-I’m in Indianapolis at the home of my mom’s best friend (surrogate aunt). She was shooting a wedding tonight (she’s a professional photographer) and she can’t come back because it’s so stormy! So for now it’s just me and the cat.</p>

<p>I’m excited to see a real snowstorm! Like you said, as long as I don’t have to drive in it. ;)</p>

<p>fendergirl–this one is a little easier than the first midwest storm I experienced not too long after I moved in! I was totally freaked out by that one.</p>

11

<p>see, you’re getting better already!</p>

<p>You will love snow storms!! I hope you have a coat, hat, and boots! I work from home when it snows! one nice perk!</p>

<p>Happy Birthday! I grew up in the Midwest and went to grad school in Illinois! I LOVED those storms. You could see them coming for miles. You’ll get used to them.</p>

13

<p>I have a pretty nice coat, and several scarves. I will need a hat and boots before too long.</p>

<p>My favorite perk of working in Residential Life–I live where I work! My office is about a 10 foot walk out my door. No nasty commute in bad weather! I’ll just have to worry about walking to class.</p>

<p>Thank you thumper! It was definitely an experience…I was driving home from Target when the lightning started. Lit up the whole inside of my car.</p>

<p>Yeah, in about a month or so i’ll be working from home about 80-100% of the time - it will be great!</p>
