The date is October 22nd and finally I have this great invention called electricity. So my air conditioning works and more importantly my fridge and stove are now juiced up with power. My roommate and his family arrive in Tempe on Tuesday and the apartment starts to fill up with all the essentials and of course lots of food. The best thing that arrives is this small white box that rhymes with pee. This box would give me hours of enjoyment for the next 2 weeks while I didn’t have cable.
Speaking of cable, for some reason it took me 2 weeks to order cable tv and internet from COX. Once it was ordered I had a whole mess of problems with them. First I had to wait 4 days to pickup my equipment. Then once I had the equipment I had to wait for them to turn on my cable which took them 3 whole days. Unfortunately that was not the end of it because my apartments wiring for cable was all screwed up and I was forced to rewire the entire apartment. So after a few drilled holes and lots of coaxial cable I finally had my cable setup working properly.
November 3rd rolled around and this little thing called PODCAMPAZ happened. My next post will detail my podcampAZ experience as it was a fun filled day and deserves its own post.

I figured I should give a little update on what exactly has been going on with me. It has been almost 3 weeks since I drove into Tempe and what a ride I have had so far. Lets just start at the beginning. I drove into Tempe on Friday and moving into my apartment was a breeze. It was just a whole lot of sign here and sign here and read this and OH! initial here. But the major problem I had my first few days was that the apartment had 0 electricity. My dumb self did not call the electric company until the last day of my trip and they were unable to turn on the electric until the following Monday which meant I was in the dark for 3 days and more importantly I had no air conditioning. I also did not have any furniture for the first week I was in the apartment either.
So just picture me in a dark apartment sleeping on the floor. During the day I parked myself at local coffee houses like coffee plantation and just hung their grabbing some free wi-fi and also charging all my electronics. During the night I watched videos and movies on my laptop until it died. It was a pretty interesting few days but it was not as bad as you would think. Personally I’m not a very fussy or picky person and had no problem sleeping on the floor. I could really just plop myself anywhere and sleep.
Monday came and I was due into work for my 1st day at 9am in the morning. For those who don’t know I work at a retail store selling baby items. I know it is a glamorous job and you are all jealous. Anyways my first day at the job went fine and I got home to ELECTRIC!
I’ll post part 2 of this tomorrow. Lots of updates to get to and lots to talk about.
