Update time!

1. Have apartment! One with a fireplace, W/D in unit, and that's very conveniently located to Target, the library, and the aquatics center. For yay! Also, it'll be the first time in my life that I will have a five digit house number AND live on a numbered street. Weird.

2. Currently in weird limbo regarding money and payments of all kinds. Got my financial aid info, but with lag times and such, it'll be Wednesday or Thursday before I can call school to confirm everything's kosher and then to call about setting up work study orientation.

Then there's the whole bit about signing up for utilities, rent stuff, cable, POD payments, etc. It's very freaky and I don't like it, obviously.

3. I've got almost all of my packing done so I'm in lag time until the POD arrives next Wednesday. So now I sorta have time to slack -- except that I'll find something to do, even if it's only to finish the stories I promised myself that I'd finish writing before the month was out.

4. Somehow, in the planning of my trip (the first bit from here to Iowa), I convinced myself that I was stopping overnight in Paducah, KY...for no apparent reason whatsoever. Stupid brain. So for now the route is TLH to Atlanta, through Chattanooga to Nashvegas, on to St. Louis, up to Hannibal, MO, and into Iowa.

After that, the biggest attraction to see (outside of Rushmore, Deadwood, etc.) is the Corn Palace. Whatever, outside of the big giant nickel in Sudbury, Ontario, the Palace might be one of my top cheesy tourist attractions.

5. There's probably a five, but I can't remember it right now.
