Temporary Housing
Tonight I reserved a room at the La Quinta Tampa Bay USF for four nights. As I mentioned earlier, I've had to use my parents' dial-up internet connection while I'm at home so comparison shopping and Googling took the better part of my evening. Considering my father's computer is relatively new and primarily for business, having dial-up is like using a lawnmower engine to power a Hummer. But I digress.
I'm starting to get excited about the actual trip itself. I've always looked forward to road trips and the ten hours to Tampa from North Carolina is going to fly by because the impending excitement of the initial few weeks of graduate school. So besides getting my car insured, registered, and tagged, situating my finances with the university, figuring out my final schedule, going to two separate graduate orientations, and actually moving in to my new apartment once it opens up, it'll be like any relaxing Florida vacation! Still not sure of the exact "fun" plans for me and the lady while she's down there with me. The Killers are playing at the USF Sundome that Sunday, but so is Avril Lavigne the night before. Decisions...
