so, that moving thing? what a pain in the fucking ass. not only is buying new furniture and all the other necessities a major expense, but it turns out the apartment is pretty big. funny how i get to the point where i think that my apartment is too big.

the kitchen, head, and dinette actually work out really well and are squared away. but then...

i get a full size mattress. oh hey, there's still plenty of room in the bedroom. nightstand? bookshelf? desk? it's not like i can leave all that empty space.

i get a nice, retro sofa bed. oh hey, the living room is still fucking spacey. do i get a coffee table? a television? bookshelf?

argh.

and then there's decorations?

double argh!

but the place is livable as of now, nice and warm. i can't wait to take advantage of that fireplace.

and i feel good that i've paid for everything on my own, with no credit cards or loans to worry about.

i have one more day of "moving in" tomorrow, and then i go back to california. right now going back to california is going to be an issue, especially with the apartment needing a little more work and now with my orders listing my report date as a couple of days sooner than i was told.

so yeah, just how i like my leave. nice and stressful.

pictures of the apartment and graduation soon...
