Current Update for the Transition

As the day looms sooner until school, the last minute details of the move are panning out. I was debating on flying there. The only problem with this option is that I wouldn't have a car while there...not necessary if I live close to campus. The school has a "Ride your Bike to School Week!"

I can't really imagine a life without one, even if that means going to the grocery store and running simple errands. The go-green in me thinks a bike or fixie will be my next best friend.

The apartment situation is panning out, all the options are within the 3 mile radius of the campus.

Driving there is plausible and the option I'm leaning more towards. I google mapped it with my dad, its 18 hour trip. I figure 2 days on the road by myself, or 1 whole day if I combine with someone. I'd ask my mom and dad to come with me, but it doesn't make sense to go there the first or second week of August, if the white coat ceremony is on August 19th. I don't think I would enjoy the back and forth.

So best bet sounds like a good personal and reflective road trip and have the parents fly out the weekend starting Thursday August 18th.

As far as scheduling this whole move is conflicting with work and I have to see if filter out of the summer program by the beginning of August pans out. If not, these road trip hopes are out of the door and i'll be flying there August 11th in time for Friday's orientation. Then, I can ask the 'rents to drive out there the next week with the car. Mind you, my dad dislikes airplanes, so it works out :)

On a lighter note, my CPR training for re-certification will be done this weekend and my immunization records are now on file. Yay for being 90% completed with everything! Now just waiting for another reforwar of official transcripts!

Until the next Rx,
