Missing Posicat

The text of the Papa John's gift card that Posicat​ sent me earlier (and that I just opened up in my email this morning) is great. "You can't just eat ramen, bleh, pizza's better! And its Sriracha compatible, I know, I've tested it extensively."

Posi is wonderful and I miss him a lot. I've been one to cry easily for a long time, but expressions of care like that make me tear up a little.

And after orientation today, I'm definitely getting some pizza! For now though, off to campus for a welcome meeting with the grad director and to look up some previous masters' theses I want to see.

Department Orientation

Perhaps I won't have pizza today. There was a lunch catered by Roly Poly at the department orientation, so I had a few wraps, potato salad, and some of the dessert bars.

Then after the tours and meetings, I sat down in the department library to read a previous masters' thesis. Said library is where the lunch had been, and in fact, still was. So I ate some more wraps and dessert bars while I read. I will not be having dinner tonight!

Between the research I'll be working on and ideas for my thesis, I think I talked with my advsior for over three hours today. As a result, I have a to-do list I'm starting on, as well as the reading I'm working on for classes. I really hope I get paid as expected at the end of the month so I can buy the rest of my books!
