First Week Done!

I officially finished my first week of grad school on Wednesday. Luckily, I only have classes two days a week. I'm thinking that Monday-Wednesday are probably not good days to call me...well, I guess it's never a good time to call me.
Okay, now I must make a statement about this whole answering calls fiasco.
I do not like telephone conversations, especially if I haven't spoken to the caller in a long time. I'm not a phone person. It's quite simple. I feel awkward talking on the phone because my usual expressions are told through either a)Sarcasm or b)Facial expression. Likewise, I like to see what people are portraying in what they're saying to me as well. Sarcasm gets lost over the phone and you might just end up sounding like a biatch. Facial expression is obviously nonexistent, so I end up sounding a bit unlike myself on the phone. Also, phone calls are just awkward. If you run out of things to talk about, it gets quiet and you can't pull the usual "make your move to get up from the table/wherever you're chatting." You have to have somewhere to go to be able to end the conversation. Hence, my hatred for phone calls. I will answer (sometimes) but other times, I'm not by my phone.
Likewise, I have limited texting. 1000 texts per month which means I cannot have full on conversations through text so if I stop answering...it's because I'm going to get charged if things proceed.
Ahh, it was nice to get that off my chest. So, the best way to reach me is through email. I may not answer them immediately, but if they are urgent emails, I will most likely call you or find you online. It's not like I'll receive emails where people are telling me they're depressed and upset and I'm like "hmm, I'll answer this little sucker later."
Okay! So, I finished my first week. All in all, it wasn't too bad. Lots of information and lots of work coming down the road, but other than that, it seems to be alright for now. I have managed to make some friends and I really like them so I'm excited I won't be alone as I feared.
I've come to the realization that one on one therapy is probably not the route that God has prepared for me. It makes it impossible to share my faith with all of the legal and ethical questions that come into play in a therapy setting. So, the future is still a bit unclear but I'm rolling with it.
In other news, I have become obsessed with the Food Network. This may sound odd to my close friends, especially my roommates who only saw me watch Degrassi, Disney and MTV for our four years in college...but yes! I have become quite enamored with the Food Network channel. I used to think it was so boring watching people cook, but now I find it to be extremely entertaining. Something about putting hard work into all of these separate ingredients and mixing them to create a delightful dish is quite wonderful. Also, watching chefs and their creativity makes me respect them for their craft. Somedays I tell my mom that I should've just gone to culinary school.
I love Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa)...unfortunately, the ingredients she uses are not within my graduate school student budget or time.
Down Home with the Neelys and Paula Deen...Great personalities, fun to watch, but if I were to eat their dishes, I would watch the number on the scale increase quickly with every stick of butter.
30 minute meals...I never like Rachel Ray's dishes, which is sad because this is probably the only show that can actually provide me with dishes I can make.
I'm mostly obsessed with the competition shows. I love Chopped and I'm digging the new show Sweet Genius. Check em' out. They're fun to watch. Such creative things to do with ingredients.

First week complete. I'm feeling good. Trusting God with everything.
