It's Official

It's official.
I now live [by myself!!!!] in an adorable little apartment on 6th street.
Classes have started (and might possibly be quite difficult).
I have internet (questionable, really).
I have no camera. Until PJ gets around to mailing me her battery charger so I can use HER camera!!!!!!! (Get on that ok?)

So the other night I was walking home from the library, which is quite a trek these days. I took a shortcut through the grass and Suprise! apparently the grass is watered at night.
To give you a little visual: some crazy girl running around the grass with her polkadot backpack bouncing around on her back. It was probably not very obvious that I was running between the sprinklers and not through them trying desperately to protect my lovely little laptop, Sebastian... but how can you say no to a little excitement, right?
