So, here I am back in Oberlin. Whew. The rush of moving in and unpacking is over, but my room is still not neat. Unsurprisingly.

Before I left I went to Montreal with my mom & assorted, which was okay. We were going for a business conference of Drew's, and the convention was like a bad movie. Montreal was also stereotypical; everyone there was uber-fashionable and the night life was great. I hadn't realized how easy/fun it was to learn a language when you were actually exposed to it, and picked up some French while there, at least enough to understand ~20% of everything that was said to me. Of course, I wasn't doing any business or engaging in conversation, so I feel the language thrown at me was pretty common. I had a good time, and would be glad to go back, though next time not with my little, super-tense siblings.

After Montreal most of my time was spent on the final for my Financial Analysis class and moving everything out of the house, which is being sold. I thought it was going to be torn down, but apparently it's going to be sold and rented out. I would actually rather nobody else got to use it, but I suppose it's better than yet another condo in the neighborhood.

So. Yes. In Oberlin. Nothing much happening yet; so far I'm enjoying the house, as opposed to the dorms. The apartment is cheaper per person and we get a pretty sweet kitchen. Having a private bathroom is also cool. I took advantage of the privacy of the bathroom recently to take a shower, only to realize that I didn't actually have any anymore, having had to ditch them in the frantic scramble to vacate my room quickly enough. So I decided a nice casual walk down to my room sans clothing was probably the best way to get some stuff to dry off with (aka my dirty-but-not-too-dirty laundry). Ha. Danielle chose that moment to come up the stairs with two of her (male) Aikido friends. Apparently my modesty was preserved by my very quick escape to my room, but still. The dangers of thinking you can walk around naked in a shared apartment, I guess.
