Stardate 2013.239
Well yesterday was kinda interesting. Seems like everyday is kind of like that, though. No time to "really" relax...always something to do.
I finally got the correct letter from the Registrar for the bank (not due to the fault of the Registrar, though...due to the bank). Then, chatted with some friends on campus. Finally had a decent meeting with Danny (Dr. Fisher). Nice to finally chat with him a bit.
First class was last night (6p-8:45p). It was good. Only 7 students. Pretty 'heady' stuff, though, as you can imagine for being "Developments in Buddhist Philosophy". We talked about Soteriology and Phenomenology, etc. Good stuff.
Started watching Star Trek:Enterprise. Gotta have a little syfy escape from time to time, ya know?

Stardate 2013.237 Supplemental:
Amazon.com is cool, but they irked me today by canceling my Prime membership and forcing me to re-instate it...all due to THEIR mistake AND their delay. Not too happy with them at the moment (and I let them know on their survey that THEY asked for, hehe). Still, it's a good company and I'll continue to order a ton of stuff from them.

Today was pretty relaxing. I did go see a Tibetan lama speak out compassion toward non-humans and vegetarianism. That was pretty cool. Also found out that B.J. Daniels is now a QB for the San Fran 49er's. When did THAT happen? Cool, though....now I have a Cali team to root for (since LA doesn't have one). BJ, btw, was QB when I was going to USF.
Supplemental:
I miss my girls. I know they are doing well and being taken care of by Ken, but I still miss them terribly.
Classes start tomorrow, too, so things will start getting busy again.
I'll try to keep up on this Blog thing more. I've been posting to Facebook, but forget about this one sometimes. Ugh.

Startdate: 2013.235
Hello! I apologize for the LONG delay. Things have, of course, been a bit crazy the past couple of weeks due to a cross-country move and starting a new program in a new school in a new city.
It was a great adventure traveling here. New Orleans, Dallas, Carlsbad, Flagstaff. I"ll have to mention more about each individually later.
Been busy the past couple of weeks. Getting registered at school, moving into dorm --> out of dorm. Thanks to Ken and introducing me to his childhood friend, Artie, I now have a place OFF campus for the semester. It'll be nice to have a private bedroom and kitchen (and cable TV). Everyone is very friendly on campus, but this will be much better. The commute isn't too bad, really. Only about 30 min. Plus, having kitties (Thor and Ivy) around is nice, too!
Gotta catch up on missed tv shows this weekend before classes start on Monday.

Final Day in St. Pete
Stardate: 2013.220
Well...it's finally here. My final day in St. Petersburg, FL. Last day at work at USFSP, too. I have mixed feelings...but mostly excited about the trip and new adventures that lay ahead. I'll definitely miss all my coworkers and friends, but promise I will return in December for a short while to catch up.
I guess it really hasn't hit me yet like it has with everyone else. It's weird. I suppose it'll really get to me once I'm finally gone...especially once I'm in CA. It just feels like a vacation or something to me at the moment...not a permanent change (which is what it really is).
Stardate: 2013.220 - Supplemental (4:43p)
Well...this is it. It's down to the last 17 minutes. Still doesn't 100% feel like my last day here. Weird, too, since I've been here 4 years. Hmmm. Well, it's all good. It was a fun trip and a great learning experience.
Good-bye USFSP!

Only 48 hours until I head on out to begin my journey. I'm getting more excited, but will miss my Sobaka terribly. It still hasn't hit me that I'll be leaving for a galaxy (okay, a state) far, far away. Beginning this new adventure to boldly go where not many I know have gone before.
