Transatlanticism

I made it! Austin is great but unbelievably hot. Nothing worse than Dubai though. I rented out a shiny new apartment downtown conveniently placed right in the middle of frat row. We'll see how that works out, but it's closer to campus and pretty much everything so it's a excellent location inspite of the frat boys.

Orientation was interesting. I met a girl from Trinidad & Tobago named Abigail and a bunch of other interesting people. I'm going to try and contact a few friends of friends later to hang out with and show me around the town. I was invited to join the Latin American student association so I did. Let's see how that goes.

My sister and I went shopping last night at Barton Creek Square down near Barton Springs and it was cool. Very much like Brea Mall in CA. I pretty much maxed out my credit card there and at Walmart later where I bought a shitload of things for my new place. But I still miss my shiny plasma screen TV god dammit! I'm heading up to SC later this week hopefully to get it and all the other crap I left there.

Facing my roommate should be super fun.

Will blog my to-do list later.
