Quick Update

I'm moved into my new place and I really, really, really like it! It's not too big and not too small, so it's just right!

The only fly in my ointment: no internet access until August 10. That's, like, forever!

I'll try to check in before then and write a real post on some things I've been thinking about whenever I'm close enough to a computer with enough time.

Still Moving...

We brought most of the stuff over to the apartment this evening. It went faster than I thought it would, and we got all the furniture and most of the other stuff in one load. All that's left for tomorrow is stuff I need tonight, stuff I don't want to lose and have to sort through boxes for, and a bit of very fragile and important stuff. I'm looking around my room (from the floor since we took all the furniture; I'll sleep in the guest room tonight) and I think that this is about as much stuff as I had when I moved out here. There was maybe another suitcase, but that's about it. I still don't know where it all came from!

Tomorrow morning we will move the rest of the stuff and I will have officially moved into my own apartment. Then all I have to do is unpack.

I don't know when I'll have internet access; hopefully it won't take too long! Of course there's always the library, but I won't have one as close as I do now. Well, I'll survive!

Getting Ready to Move

My room does not really look like my room anymore. Most of the stuff is packed and either in the hall or the dining room, ready to lug into cars and off to the new apartment. I can see 3 books in my room (actually there are a few more in my backpack). The bookcases are empty and most of them have been moved out. Most of what's left to pack are clothes and last minute bits of stuff. It's very strange and empty.

We went to the apartment last night because I got the keys yesterday and I wanted to show it off a bit. It really is a nice little place with lots of kitchen cupboards, a balcony with a door from the living room and another one from my bedroom, and a little laundry room. We took the first few boxes then. There was a real mix of stuff thanks to my "put it wherever it fits" style of packing: books, files, paper cups, Christmas tree lights, coasters, a stuffed kitten, and some office supplies, to name a few! Today and tomorrow my current landlady brought/will bring a load of stuff while I'm at work and Thursday night I've borrowed a friend's van and her husband to move the big furniture. Friday is officially moving day, though, and that's when I'll be in my new place for real.

I'm nervous and excited and tired...so tired...I really don't like packing!

Just to keep life interesting...

I've decided that I don't have enough on my plate now. School and works and church stuff just aren't taking up enough of my time. Or they've just caused me to lose my mind. Anyway, next month, after I get back from school, I'm moving.

(To my family: this counts as telling you, okay? And I'm not leaving Edmonton.)

I have friends who have a little condo that they want to rent and they offered me first dibs. I like it, I like the location, and I'm ready to move.

If you're looking me, I'll be sleeping, studying, or packing. Or possibly trying to decide how to add even more stress to my life!
