moving

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

I moved into my new apartment on Friday! Bin, Hien and Jay (friends from ESUC) helped me move my stuff from Anna’s place in three trips - it took about two hours (9-11pm) and I was ridiculously hungry afterwards because I hadn’t eaten dinner. So we went to Gushi! (It was Bin’s fifth time eating at Gushi in a row…wtf.)

I went to sleep late and then woke up early (habit because of work, I guess) to start unpacking. Stanley came over to help me build my bed and futon. I kind of decided on how to arrange my room… but it’s still kind of weird because one of my walls is angled (again) haha. I might buy a new (bigger) desk to increase productivity and a desk chair because I don’t have one. Too bad I can’t afford something like this.

This is a really disjointed blog… So I don’t have electricity/Internet at my new apartment so I’m at Josh’s apartment, but I’m getting really distracted by the huge 56″-ish TV in their living room. So instead of being super distracted I’m going to go home now. And light some candles and then go to sleep. Work tomorrow! Week number three, here I come! I’m taking time off starting on Friday to go home for some family time. More later. Maybe.

I hate it when people take out their unfortunate bad moods on the uninvolved. It’s unfair, and if one does actually slip, I think an apology is completely necessary. One should treat strangers just as well as one does their friends.

I moved out my big things today, finally. Everything else I have I can take care of myself - just a few boxes and my papasan chair. Also, I parallel parked and impressed myself. Luckily, I found a spot right in front of my apartment. I’m so physically exhausted right now… woke up at 6am to get the keys to my friend’s place, started loading up my car with anything I could carry without help. Man, I am a total weakling. I guess this is motivation for me to go to the gym and make some muscles. I don’t like being inept. God I’m so tired that I’m barely moving my fingers to type.

On the bright side I’m starting work on Monday! I’ve had two paid jobs before. First is yearbook, that was paid randomly at my own discretion, and second was my reader position last quarter, which had an hourly rate but a default claim of 15 hours per pay period regardless of actual hours put in. Which means this is the first time I’m actually going to be paid for work I do! Sooo exciting! I’m looking into finding a place closer to work so I don’t have to deal with one-way hour-long commutes. But I don’t really want to because I’m really looking forward to my new apartment. Eh. We’ll see if I get sick of the commute after a couple week.

Ohhh my godddd my arms are so sore from carrying boxes I’m going to go outside and relax and maybe make an appointment for a professional massage at a spa (!!!!)
