I have moved in.

Well, I suppose not quite. I didn't remember to bring everything. Like a desk lamp or an umbrella. It was quite overcast this morning and I'm afraid I felt a couple of raindrops on my way to the library. Dartmouth seems to be in perpetual construction. I woke up around seven this morning (east coast time) to the sounds of construction next door. Not all of the new apartments for the graduate students are finished yet. And as I type this in the library, there are loud drills and jackhammering a few feet away.

Unlike a loud and confusing dorm, the apartment is relatively quiet. The entire apartment complex is probably populated by foreign students with a poor grasp of English. I have to speak slowly and repeat everything three times (and sometimes even that doesn't work). The next door neighbors like to come into the apartment to rummage in the fridge and burn milk on the stove. I have a feeling that I'm living in a bad sitcom.

Anyways, I'm probably going to be updating pretty regularly again, even if housing still won't hook up the ethernet until a week or two from now.
