The freezing temperature woke me up, and I was feeling my refreshed best. I quickly changed into my shorts and tee, hoping to go jogging and basically explore my new environment. I also called home to tell them I was safe and happy.

I didn't need to think twice about where I was headed. I went to check out the Graduate Housing that had been allotted to me. It turned out to be really well furnished.

I have a lovely room to myself and two roommates - one from NJ and the other from Wisconsin. They're both from the CS dept.

From there I headed to the nearest grocery store - the place is called 'Save-a-lot', and made my initial purchases to help me thru the first few days. I also had to register and meet with staff from the ISSS. Most of the day was quite uneventful, except for the running around campus to sort my paperwork out. But this kept me busy till late evening.

The Robison Swimming Pool was closed because there was no lifeguard on duty, and so I went shopping again - this time for bedsheets and a pillow. By evening, I was quite familiar with my apartment, and some of the important building around campus.
