New Roommate?

Adrienne is getting used to the routine and her teachers. She's taking four classes: Economics, Psychology, Civilization, and Calculus. She's also taking Aqua Fitness, which is a pass/fail class. So far, she isn't finding the work particularly difficult or time consuming. She continues to look for jobs and hopes to have something she wants by next week. She's already had a couple of offers but is waiting for the research institutes to select their research assistants before committing. She'll probably be working about 4 hours each week.

Adrienne's roommate decided to move out today, thankfully. It's not that they weren't getting along; it's just that they weren't talking. I think the girl really wanted a single room, which I'm sure her parents will fund (a single room costs about $1,000 a year extra). Adrienne will probably have another roommate in a few days. It's just a shame that her first experience hasn't been real positive.

I will fly down on Monday for Adrienne's checkup and to see the new radiation oncologist. I've been communicating with the radiation oncologist at Stanford who thinks it's a good idea to get another opinion, particularly with the introduction of the new technologies. That evening, Adrienne will be going to a dinner with the president of the college for the McKenna Scholars. Believe it or not, she's worried that she's eating too much.
