ah, the finger lakes

I'm settling into my Cornell adventure.  It is super easy to get around with my scooter; I'm pretty sure it's going to work well as my sole transport.  It was rainy yesterday, so I walked (more like meandered) to campus.  At my leisurely pace it took 1/2 hour.  Not too bad, and it's extra exercise.

Unfortunately, my sleep schedule is wonky.  I fall asleep and wake up too late.  I need to try to adjust before the semester starts on Thursday.

I'm getting accustomed to alone time.  I only know one person here well enough to randomly say, hey want to get together, and she seems to be traveling/busy right now.  I wouldn't say that I'm lonely...I'm an introvert, so it's okay...I'm just not used it.

It's wild to have so much open time before me, so many options for my time.  I might go to the drum circle tonight, but they're calling for storms...and that would suck.  Since I'm getting around by scooter, rain is likely to keep me home.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the time I now have to really dive into my research, and I'm excited about my class.  I haven't yet taught a grad class, I have only had some MS students in my senior level classes at ISU.  Should be fun.  And I'm gearing up for a really productive semester.
