The first church we went to was an assembly of God service which went two hours. Their pastor had recently passed away though, so this is kind of a weird time for them. We liked it well enough, but will be trying other churches out as well.
On Tuesday we moved all of the stuff that wasn't ours out of the apartment, which was nice. There was a similar amount of vacuuming that needed to be done, but only a little to be shampooed. It is not a habitable living room with couches and chairs! Also, nearly all parts of the computer I'm building came, and we put them together. So far they all work, which means the only components left to test are the RAM and graphics card. This is good. What's bad though is that they sent the RAM twice as far as they had to (Groveport, OH) before it can come back to me through UPS' system. The funny thing is that I ordered the RAM first. Anyway, I'm using the monitor with my laptop to write this, and it is impossibly large compared to my lappy screen :). The best part was all of the deals that I was able to find on parts...it's a pretty decent build.
We saw Alex for the first time since this spring at orientation yesterday morning, and then all day. It was nice to see and meet the ChE students again since the spring when we had recruitment weekend. The afternoon general graduate school orientation was long and boring though. Part of it was 2 hours about insurance, the only thing I needed to know from that was that by September I needed to get a brochure outlining the policy benefits and things not included. Awesome.
We also found out that the best commuting option for us is to buy a cheap parking permit ($90 yearly) and carpool then take a free bus loop in to campus. Also also, Alex lives right across a field from us, which was had no idea of until yesterday at 7pm when we got back, so YAY God for that! I guess some other ChE students live in our complex as well, which is cool.
Oh, and finally, we met a bunch of cool Nepalese people yesterday and I now know the only Jwala that I probably ever will.
