Weekend Plans

Today we are cleaning up the apartment, or at least trying to, and will be unloading a box or two so I can take them with me to Small U, pack the rest of my stuff and leave Small U forever - or at least until they invite me to some nice dinner with food.

I am graduating (horray!) tomorrow. My dad is flying into neighboring city where fiance lives today around 4 pm. They have never met each other, so this will be interesting. My dad does not speak English very well and my fiance does not speak Spanish almost at all, so this will be interesting (I wish I had a video camera kind of interesting...).

He leaves on Sunday morning, which kinda sucks, but he'll be back for the wedding. My dad has a ton of (paid) vacation time saved up, but he barely ever uses it so it is kind of a big surprise to my other siblings that he is coming to see me graduate and coming to the wedding.

Otherwise than being relatively frantic today about all the stuff that's going on, things are pretty good on this front. I have to turn in my acceptance for my TAship by Monday. It really drags that they did not give me much time to look over all the paperwork properly. I called Human Resources because I had a bagillion questions, they told me they were not supposed to send me that entire packet of information. *whew* for me. I really felt lost. Even though there is a line in the cover letter saying that if I have any questions to feel free to contact them I feel like I had too many questions to get away from the process without feeling kind of stupid about it.

I also have to tell them that my name will change soon, which is not going to be a pretty situation let me tell you... At least it goes badly in my mind. I know other people have done this before me and other people will continue to do this after me, but I cannot help but feel like this is going to seem like a big surprise to them. Especially since I never mentioned it before, not even the engagement. Most of my information will have to change anyways and that is why I am hesitant about filling out these forms (ok, that is one hesitancy out of many).

So yeah, I don't want to do the dishes and that is why I am blogging. Fiance will come back soon with breakfast tacos (mmmmm...) and the cleaning will commence.
