just got back from Glendale a coupla hours ago. Drove down this past weekend to look for housing and came up with a nice room in Arrowhead Ranch [?? I think...just across the 101 from AZCOM] with a gal from CA. I had gotten assigned a big brother from AZCOM and he's been helping me out a ton with any questions that I've had and has done lots of legwork for me as far as housing goes. Kudos to diligent MSI / MSII 'ers.
Anywho, so, in case nobody's let you know recently it's still ridiculously hot in Arizona. Had a high of 114 while I was there, and I didn't think that my little Honda would take it. It got so hot, in fact, that my CD deck shut itself off and wouldn't work for almost 3 hours!! I thought that I'd fried the thing [I was going towards Flagstaff up that massive hill and had turned off the A/C and opened the windows to prevent overheating] and was super bummed, but when I stopped for gas in Page, AZ it started right back up again with the car. Hmmm...never thought that the "Windows Principle" [if it doesn't work right, just reboot] would have to be used for my car's equipment. Funny.
But I did get a chance to sample some of the local golf [played over in Scottsdale...don't remember the name...big 36-hole place with an 18-hole Pine course and 18-hole Palm course] which was bearable thanks to a 7am tee time. Let me just say that my golf game definitely appreciates AZ already. Lots of fun, though I don't know how much of that I'd be able to do once school starts. We'll see.
Question of the day: Who has been accepted for the longest or for the shortest period of time? (Insert yourself between)
