Making Friends and Being Swank Is Cool

[alexakaruda]

All the grad students in my department got together last night for what is supposedly some of the best Chinese food in Columbus, at a hole in the floor called Joy's Village. It was tucked away in a sketchy underground mall. Was stuck all day getting an Ohio title and tags for my car, which took about 5 hours, so I ended up being half an hour late

Yay for meeting people and making friends. I find I'm still as reclusive as ever - much to my chagrin - but I haven't noticed that much of a "hanging out" culture in the department yet. We have a happy hour every friday at 5, so I guess that's something, at least.

Side note - my rice cooker works fine with American rice. If yours makes rice dry, just try a little more water, or try shorter-grain rice.

Making Swank and Being Friends is Cooler

I`m glad you got a chance to make some friends and cut loose a little. Really you should be doing this on at least a biweekly basis. I know for me, if don`t get out at least once a week, I start to get too wrapped up in my own problems and issues (which there are many). At the very least going out will give you some good material to update your Journal with (always good with me).
