Life

Move-in day!

Day one.
Day one.

Today’s been the first day that I’ve been fully moved in to my apartment, and although I was unsure how my experience would be before I got here, since I’ve arrived it’s been pretty nice. I’m pretty happy with my living situation here, I guess, although I won’t recommend it for fear of doxxing myself (the ever-present danger of talking about your life on the Internet).

What to do?

Gnome.

Right now, it’s still the morning. I’m still sitting at my computer and listening to podcasts — that’s just what I’ve been doing for a lot of time within the past week or so (my physics class is finally over, so I’m on a little bit of a vacation).

Things that don't go to plan

Apple.

A lot of the time, that’s a lot of things. They even wrote a whole book about it (“the best-laid plans…”).

Podcasts and this photo

Train.

To help us get around this big world, we have trains like this one that I saw the other day. And that’s really cool.

Every week is the same

Peacock.

Yesterday, I saw this peacock. It seems pretty chill for a bird that usually is a symbol for pompousness and flashiness. Never judge a peacock by the type of bird it is, I guess…

Neat photos

I took a few photos a while ago that I thought looked nice. They were on the blog in a separate post, but I thought that I should recompile them and put them back with a nicer gallery type setup so that you could just click on them to view.

My first electric vehicle!

The NIU KQi2 Pro came in the mail earlier than I expected—I had it before noon this morning, actually, which was nice because I wasn’t working today and got to take it out of the box and get everything set up with plenty of time. It was cloudy, though, and that turned to rain for most of the afternoon, so I didn’t really get much chance to try it in full, although I’ve gotten generally used to the controls just going around my neighborhood. It’s pretty nice!
