new friends

Danny had his grad student orientation today. I decided to go with him since he thought it'd be for an hour and then afterwards I could meet his graduate professor. His graduate professor Neil is super nice! Not at all what I expected, but hes really nice and invited us over to his house for dinner sometime in the next few weeks :) His wife is even going to give us cichlids for our new fish tank that we just set up in our dining room :) I can't wait to actually put fish in there! :)
After his last orientation all of the grad students went out to a local pub and invited us to come along. I'm really glad that we went with them :) It gave us a chance to get to know all of the other grad students, and gave me a chance to get to know them since I had never met any of them before. They all seem really nice, and the girls even invited me over for a girls night since the boys were having a 'bro night' this weekend. Silly, but I'm really happy that they decided to include me, I was worried that it would be hard for me to make friends here since I wouldn't be at the school with Danny and would only be interacting with the girls at work and not really anything else outside of work. So I'm really glad that I got along well with the girls here :)
Also I must say, I. Love. Webcams!! Tonight we webcamed with all of our friends back at Morningside plus had some other friends that weren't at morningside webcaming with them at the same time and had the laptops pointed at each other. Twas fantastic :) I miss our friends and family back home so much!!! I can't wait to be back for break so we can be back with everyone again! Despite how fun its been being here in Texas just Danny and I, I really get homesick every now and then for my family. Its going to take some getting used to, but having webcams to see everyone helps :)

skyping with friends = love :)

Anyway, I must get to bed so I'm not too tired for work tomorrow :) Hopefully I'll have more exciting stories from the veterinary hospital!!
