Graduate 68: Settling in
The weather in Riverside has been wonderful so far. Wednesday it rained and the temperature has been fairly mild all the rest of this week. I was lucky enough to miss, by about a week, the late-August heatwave. So I am forced to acknowledge that my happy experience up to this point does not necessarily reflect normative conditions. Oh well.
There are some disconcerting aspects to living alone. For instance, rolls of toilet paper last an unusually long time. But on the whole, things are going well. I've been a bit lazy this last week and will have to discipline my time very deliberately in the future.
There's a Food-4-Less across the street, a laundromat, Kragen Auto store, and all sorts of restaurants within easy walking distance. My apartment is a little over a mile from UCR and on a very convenient bus route. I'm settling in nicely and looking forward to orientation and beginning classes next week.
Blessings all,

God is in this place,
and that reality, seen and understood by the grace of God in Christ Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit, makes all the difference in the world.
