So I'm (for the most part) all settled into my cozy apartment in Muncie, IN. My roommate Maren did such a great job finding the perfect apartment for us. I have a kinda small room, but perfect for me because it restricts how much stuff I can have in it, which will help with moving. And bonus- my room has a walk in closet, which i LOVE. Storage room, closet, dresser, it's all perfect.

Lately in Muncie it's been bout 85 degrees, but with 80% humidity the heat index has been at about 98 degrees. So if you are outside for more than 1.4 minutes, it's miserable.

I was SO lucky to have my dad here to help me move in and settle in my place this past week. I had such a great time with him! We moved in and settled one day, explored Ball State the next, did some more exploring of Muncie the next day (Model Airplane Museum= Win), and went to Indianapolis the day before he left and went to the Indy 500 Speedway and explored downtown Indy. I loved it. It was so nice to have him here to help with the logistics of everything.

Also, my roommate is gone for a week and a half, so I would have been by myself until school started, but I was lucky enough to have him here to cook dinner for and watch pointless television.

This town is amazing. It's totally a college town. I love it so much. I keep thinking the campus is going to be way too big to figure out in such a small amount of time, but surprisingly I've got it figured out. I stopped by my office (The Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs), and instantly fell in love with everyone I met in there. I have a great office, possibly the size of my bedroom, and I'm so excited to start working with students.

Since I suck at this blogging thing, I will probably post another blog with pictures of my place, campus, etc. Just as I was about to leave to finish up the little things like payroll, parking pass, etc, the maintenance guy showed up at our place. So I figured why not blog?

I start my assistantship this week and am stoked. I dont have a set training date to start right now, but pretty much this week I get to welcome the freshman and hand out pens and stuff like that. It's like ASUU all over again! I can't wait! Then next week I'll start having my set hours and everything in the office, along with start classes.

Last Friday I went to dinner with about 15 people from my cohort and it just added another level of excitement. We have had a SAAHE group on facebook and were friends with each other on FB, but it was great to finally meet people and get to know them better. Some of us are going to dinner tonight which will be really fun. I love getting to know people who are as excited as I am about student affairs, Ball State and life. Also, it's fun to explain Utah to them ;)

Well I am off to explore the depths of campus and melt in the humidity and heat, but I will post pictures soon. :)

I miss Utah terribly, but I also am so happy here it's hard to be down for too long.
