hello texas!

well, we just got here about an hour ago and so far it hasn't been too incredibly exciting. i'm a bit frustrated that the wireless does not work very well in my room on the second floor, but it does work quite well up here in the frosh's rooms on the third floor. i guess i'll be hanging out up here every night for a bit.

random sidenote: a commercial for the goblet of fire dvd just came on and reminded me that i'm quite excited to buy it on tuesday. i probably don't really NEED it, but i will buy it regardless (yes, i sound like my brothers).

the roommate situation is a bit interesting, but we'll see how it goes.

tomorrow we are going to the lake at 9:30 (i think) to rig and row. then lunch at 12:30 and then i think we have the afternoon off until dinner and a trip to the grocery store at 6:30. i am abstaining from going to mass at 7:30 tomorrow morning.

the bus ride was quite long. i really couldn't believe slow time seemed to be going. we stopped at kathleen's house this morning for breakfast somewhere in kansas. we watched two movies (hitch and breakfast at tiffany's) between there and oklahoma city where we ate a late lunch at brittany's family's restaurant. really good pizza! we drove from there to dallas where we stopped at a bad gas station that reinforced some of my generalizations about texas. then we came straight through to austin.

i'm excited to get to see the city during the daylight tomorrow and the rest of the week.

and that's about all for now...
