9/22/15: First Day back at the UW!

1.     9/23/15: First Day back at the UW!

a.     Woke up in Bellingham. Gathered up my half-finished standing desk and took it over to the big house. Mike and I (mostly Mike) finished it up (nearly; it still needs hose clamps). Mike came up with this amazing swivel mechanism so that the tabletop can sit at any angle.

b.     Ate lunch, packed a bit, and hustling like a goofball, joined Noah, Isabelle, and Izzy at the Trampoline Zone for an hour.

c.      Showered and rushed over to the barber, who was occupied. Made a quick visit to Hardware Sales, who didn’t have the hose clamps I wanted; returned to the barber, where another person had taken my place. In irritation, returned home, stopping at Harbor Freight for a cool organizer.

d.     Finished packing, loaded the car, and left for the UW at about 5:10.

e.     Arrived barely in time, grabbed, loaded and unloaded a cart, returned it to the grateful desk worker in the nick of time.

f.      Went to EJ burger with family and Xin. Delicious!

g.     Walked into dollar store. Unsurprisingly, no Ethernet cable, but there was a sweet $1 allen wrench set and lots of other quite reasonable bargains I had no time to explore.

h.     Bid goodbye to family.

i.       Walked over to Walgreens with Xin and grabbed an Ethernet cable. Took a long route to Haggett, through raucous parties on Greek Row.

j.       Unpacked, and unpacked, and unpacked! Everything worked out pretty well, except that there was no great place for my standing desk when not in use. Still working on that. Xin worked on the WiFi, which turned out spotty despite all appearances of working order.

k.     Watched a Dawgs Crew (move-in helper volunteering) training video (orientation tomorrow) and hit the hay.

l.       Postscript: await big summer summary!
