So far, I've managed to submit my financial aid paperwork correctly and to purchase a plane ticket to Hawaii. That is, thus far, the extent of my success. (Well, aside from getting into school in the first place.) As for the items which still need work...I haven't found a place to live, and campus health services seems to think that I need proof of a second MMR shot despite my luck at having never contracted any of the trio of diseases the shot immunizes. (That's measles, mumps, and rubella for those of you who are wondering.) On the upside, I am packed. Two bags which will cost me $40 to check, thank you very much US Airways, and two boxes that I will have shipped to myself once I actually have an address. Not to mention my laptop and a carry-on. Of course, it would be nice if these things (and myself) had a place to go once we got to Honolulu. I rented a car so maybe I could just sleep there until I find a place. It's a mid-size SUV to tool around the island my first weekend there. Probably could sleep at least one person. Here's hoping for a Motel 6 with the light left on just for me.
That's about it so far. I'll try to keep this post updated for friends and family to check my progress, laugh at my frustrations, and generally make fun of my mishaps in the great state of Hawaii as a theater grad student. Tomorrow will be a boring day, although I might find an apartment, which would be sooo wonderful. If I find something, I'll post pictures and a description. In any case, I will definitely try to write posts this weekend as I discover the island, and next week as I start my assistantship in the scene shop.
Wish me luck & thanks for reading!
